May 2022 CDP: ADAPTABILITY

This month, our CDP message is Adaptability. Adaptability is the ability to adjust to a

new or uncertain situation with an open mind. This change is for a new or different

purpose and not to just copy someone else. Being adaptable is important because

things are always changing! If you can adapt to new situations as they come, you will

be open to learning new things, dealing with something challenging and moving

forward with your goals.

You may need to be adaptable at karate, school, work or other activities. If you are

feeling nervous or unsure about something, you can practice being adaptable. First,

you can take a moment to breathe. This will help you calm down a bit before

reacting. Then, remind yourself that you’ve gotten through a change before and you

can make it though this one as well.
