Explanation:
Uncertainty is the new normal
Have you felt on edge lately? Like the world is spinning out of control, and each passing year is less stable than the one before?
In this fast-paced, tech-driven life, many of us feel overwhelmed even at the best of times. But add a global pandemic, massive economic disruption, social unrest, and the looming threat of climate change, and it’s enough to make anyone lose sleep.
Even without another disaster, it’s easy to see that change is speeding up. As far back as 1987, the U.S. Army War College defined a state called VUCA—short for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity—as an emerging new normal. We see VUCA in action every day, from the disruptive pace of new technology and automation to massive changes in how and where we work. Life, it seems, really is a state of constant flux.
So if you’re feeling anxious and lost, that’s normal. It’s not a failure on your part. And the good news is that it’s fixable.
You can’t always know or control what tomorrow will bring, but you can control how you react to change. Will you flounder and drown, or will you find stable ground and take advantage of fresh opportunities? Your adaptability, along with the overlapping traits of resilience and emotional intelligence, may well tip the balance.
What does adaptability mean, really?
Being adaptable doesn’t mean “going with the flow” and letting the currents carry you along. A better definition comes from Andrew J. Martin of the University of New South Wales, who identified three components of adaptability:
Adjusting your thoughts and thinking in response to change
Managing positive and negative emotional responses to change
Altering your behavior in response to change
True adaptability begins with rational thought and ends with deliberate action. It’s a growth mindset—an understanding of how to adapt to change that anyone can cultivate through self-reflection, creative thinking, and intentional practice.
Be ready for anything: Your adaptability toolkit
As executive coach Jennifer Jones noted in a 2017 TED Talk, “we’re losing the ability to adapt because we’re not taking the time and attention to prepare and develop ourselves. We’re jumping from change to change, acting on impulse, not acting on strategy.”
Here are three sets of specific tools you can use right now to build that strategy, become more adaptable, and navigate even the scariest change:
1. Follow the North Star
We’ve written before about why goals matter, and how achieving those goals requires specific, realistic plans. But in a world of constant change, your goals and plans can become obsolete overnight. What happens then?
To answer that question, imagine someone has dropped you in an unfamiliar part of the world, deep in the woods. How would you find your way home? First, you’d need to know which way is north.
To become more adaptable, you need goals big enough to provide a True North in your life. You also need enough self-understanding to draw a map and figure out where you stand in relation to those goals.
Take action:
Find your North: Ask yourself these questions: What is my personal or professional purpose? What makes me feel fulfilled as a human being? Which parts of me are so fundamental that external change can’t ruin them? Write your answers down.
Identify landmarks: What talents, skills, or experience do you have right now that few others possess? A mastery of JavaScript? A flair for baking? An encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel Comics? Take inventory, put it all in writing, and don’t be shy.
Draw a map: Creating a Life Map helps you connect the dots between your North Star goals and where you are today. Grab some paper and markers and you can have it done in an hour.
going with the flow; it’s a mindset bolstered by consistent practice.
That means you have to become more self-aware, and be willing to give yourself honest, constructive critique. Get into the habit of recording your progress. Direct your focus into the things that are working, discard the rest, and look for new alternatives.
Take action:
Record your life: Keeping a journal is a terrific way to track and understand your emotional state. A journal can help you identify stress triggers, assess your responses, and work through problems or fears. All of that matters when you have to respond to a challenging situation.
Catalog your failures: This might sound like a ticket to low self-esteem, but a failure log is actually a powerful tool for growth. Look for the specific reasons things didn’t work out. Did you need more training? A better plan? More support from your colleagues? How can you better prepare for the next attempt? The takeaway is not that you screwed up, but that you can improve.
What project or skill should you pursue next?

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future” – John F Kennedy
Change can come into our lives as a result of a crisis, as a result of choice or just by chance. In either situation, we are all faced with having to make a choice....
I believe that it is better to be prepared for change because we have more control over how we react to the change we are having to face in our lives.
When you are unprepared and resistant to change, then you have no control or choice as to how you want to live your life. You live your life as a reactionary rather than an activator of change.
We cannot avoid it and the more we resist change the tougher our life becomes. Change as John F Kennedy quoted is a Law of Life. We are surrounded by change and it is the one thing that has the most dramatic impact on our lives. There is no avoiding change as it will find you, challenge you and force you to reconsider how to live your life.
We cannot avoid the unexpected events (crisis) in our lives, as it is these events that challenge us and force us to step out of our comfort zone. If we ignore or hide away from the challenge of change, we deny ourselves the opportunity to learn and grow.
We like to live our lives in our comfort zone. Our subconscious likes this because it is the “known”. Embracing change is stepping into the unknown and our subconscious will does not like the “unknown.” so it will resist.......
