Have you ever wondered why some people are unable to find different solutions to their problems and others adapt to all situations?The answer is that we interact with people in different ways based on our expectations, previous learnings, beliefs and emotional states. , flexible-minded people interact better and healthier.
Cognitive rigidity is a feature of people who dare not change their minds and are unable to accept new ideas; on the other hand, there are people who have a critical thinking, an open mind and who accept change, according to Walter Riso, power Flexible thinking allows us, despite obstacles, to reinvent ourselves and be more flexible with the events of life without complaining.

Rigid-minded people select only what corresponds to their beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them, ignore nuances, so they insist, feel, or act in an extreme way, even if the evidence proves otherwise, they can even lie, insult, and belittle them for not acknowledging that they are wrong.
Rigid and absolutist minds see change as a weakness and prefer to avoid the facts if they disagree with them, so they may suffer certain disorders such as depression, these people draw their conclusions without having enough information and consider themselves obliged to act in a certain way, without delving into information or listening to their opponents.
They are people who believe that those who are not with them are against them. This belief feeds on your fear of discovering that you are wrong and realizing that part of your life is based on a false belief. They are very frightened and unsure to deal with the demands that come with the changes.
“This happens to people with a closed mind in the same way as with narrow-mouthed bottles, the less content there is, the more noise they make when emptying. -Alexander Pope-
Flexible people change their minds gradually and identifiablely; are impartial, fair, respectful of others and always try to avoid exclusion; do not bend to superficial and unconscious thoughts that often lead us to a spiral of negativity and suffering without any proven evidence of it.
Flexible people seek to free themselves from the “must”, the “should”, the irrational automations that feed on our uncompromising demands on ourselves, others and the world at large; reject any form of authoritarianism or individual totalitarianism.
Neuroscience tells us that we can change the mindset when we create new neural connections in the brain and strengthen them with our thinking, therefore, the real change of mindset has its fundamental basis in the brain and neurons that we produce when we think and behave in a certain way.
Therefore, flexible minds see life from different points of view, accepting that they can make mistakes, on the contrary, rigid minds believe that only their way of thinking is correct.
We all misjuddle someone at first sight, and that person ended up becoming one of our best friends, if we kept our first impression of that person we would use a kind of rigid, absolutist thinking that doesn’t correspond at all to today’s reality. .
People with rigid minds find it difficult to forgive and accept their share of responsibility for their problems, so they can only see the lie when there is a second chance.
