Be A Cockroach

 Hi everyone!
Welcome back!!

Aaj ka post is based on something which we've all been through and unknowingly got out of.  

Trivia question:

Which creature can survive in any condition?

Answer: Cockroaches. 

(and tardigrades too, but let's go with a more common example)

They are considered to be one of the hardest groups of creatures. It is an incredibly adaptive insect, having adjusted to the changes of the earth and its inhabitants for these hundreds of millions of years.

"So, how is that connected to Mental Health? Isn't that simply biology?" is perhaps what you might be thinking right now. 

Let me answer your question :)

As humans, adapting to a particular situation is a frequent struggle. Life constantly throws lemons and more often than not, we're not able to make lemonade out of it. 

It can be any circumstance- class shuffles, shifting or even losing someone. It's a hard grapple to overcome to the situation quick if you don't have great adaptability skills- one which we all require at some point.

That is the main purpose of this post.
To share why it is important to have this skill.

It plays an aid at being flexible and adaptable, a team player, ‘going with the flow’. It helps us overcome the sense of rigidity or being stuck and so are opens paths to change and challenge.

The pandemic for example provided with a great opportunity to test one's adaptability.

Starting towards bettering yourself in this aspect is one you should do at the earliest as its really helpful in the long run.

Accept, adapt, and move on.
(makes a good tagline, don't you think?)

This applies to 90% things out there.

Yes it takes time and yes it might be difficult at the beginning but learning this at an early age gives you a better edge. 

As to how to acquire this skill, you'll have to wait till next week's post :(

Todays post's main focus was to bring to limelight the importance of having such a useful skill and is also one I wished I had learnt earlier.

Remember the great words of Jake Peralta when in doubt: "Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool.. No doubt No doubt No doubt"

Hope y'all enjoyed reading! Don't forget to share and follow for more and let me know in the comments a few of your suggestions.
