Flexible Mindset Task Cards (Adults)
These task cards will show your group members the importance of having a more flexible mindset. When things happen to us, we tend to overreact or internalize what
is going on. When our thinking is more flexible, we can see things from the
perspective of others & realize that the world is not out to get us!

Instructions
• Group members will pick a card and read the scenario. • They should first discuss the person’s (likely) reaction in the scenario. They should then give at least one possible reason for the scenario. See the example on the next page.
