What is Emotional Fitness Part 4: Adaptability
In this article, we explore why adaptability isn’t just about keeping up with the world—it’s about keeping up with yourself. Life is constantly changing—our responsibilities, relationships, and even our own bodies demand that we grow alongside them. Yet, many people resist, clinging to outdated ways of thinking and behaving, only to find themselves frustrated, disconnected, and overwhelmed when change inevitably arrives.
We examine the psychological barriers that keep people stuck, the consequences of resisting change, and how self-worth plays a critical role in adaptability. You’ll learn why refusing to evolve doesn’t preserve stability—it erodes it—and how embracing adaptability leads to greater resilience, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life. If you’ve ever felt like life is getting harder despite your best efforts to hold on, this article will help you understand why—and what you can do about it.
