Managing Change: Develop Flexibility Muscles

I consider flexibility a key ingredient to reach any goal. Why? Because although we might have a clear goal in mind, how we accomplish this goal may be subject to change along the way.

In an environment of continuous change, three things can happen:  We can react to change;  we can ignore change; or we can anticipate change.  Reacting to change is constantly playing catch up.  Not the most assertive position to be in. Ignoring --or denying--change will not stop change from happening.  The most effective way to manage change is to anticipate and expect change as part of the goal-reaching process.

Lesson No. 3:  Reprioritize and restructure when necessary

Being able to reevaluate and reassign priorities in the process of reaching a goal allows us to:

• Develop the ability to make quick decisions
• Become an out-of-the-box thinker
• Become skillful at scenario planning
• Become a self-assured risk taker

Similar to the start of a weight training program, you can develop flexibility muscles by introducing small amounts of change into your daily life. Find a new route to get home or a different approach to running a brainstorm session. The more comfortable you become with change the sooner it will become an ally not an adversary.

[No Nonsense Muscle Building Review]

I Think Yoga is ideal, but if you choose otherwise stretching is a must when building muscles. Yoga deals with flexibility with core strength along with correct breathing which will increase strength of your tendons and greatly help with muscle definition.

There are many different kinds of Yoga; Taoist, Hatha, Kundalini, Raja, etc.. Yoga doesn't have to be done in a class and is capable of getting done right at home. Having a teacher correct mistakes is ideal though.

You could combine what ever stretches you want and ad core work to simulate the effects. No matter what you need to stretch to keep flexibility.
