Some people have had an easier time than others adjusting to this shift, and it could be due to a higher degree of something called cognitive flexibility.

These connections also allow us to develop better observation and reasoning skills, and deconstruct complex tasks more effectively. Here are the five best ways to develop cognitive flexibility:If we want to strengthen existing pathways and build new ones, we can do so by making small changes to our routines.
Seeking out new activities that engage our minds and bodies in creative ways such as language, music, dance and art have an especially positive effect on cognitive flexibility. Forget the idea that you can't teach an old dog new tricks; that simply isn't true. Quite the opposite, in fact. Our brains have natural neuroplasticity, which means that they're able to change and form new connections right up to the day we die.
Plus, you'll reap the essential rewards of having been exposed to diversity: different personalities, perspectives, and cultures. It's a win-win.
