We all have some or other Biases that we have developed either consciously or subconsciously over the time. It feels so normal to have these biases because everyone has them, it’s so common but we don’t realize how harmful they are to us.
Below are the list of Biases and ways to get rid of them:
1) Confirmation Bias – closed to other people’s believes and opinions.
How to Break the Bias:
# Question yourself and the situation, look from multiple angles.
# Don’t be surrounded by yes people, bring diversity in the group of people you hang out.
2) Selection Bias – we see more of what we seek. When you look for negative people/thoughts you find negative people/thoughts.
How to Break the Bias:
# Select your thoughts carefully.
3) Status Quo Bias – trying to keep things the same.
How to Break the Bias:
# Feel more comfortable with change, make small changes daily to get comfortable with change.
4) Negativity Bias – we are programmed to spot danger and amplify it.
How to Break the Bias:
# choosing growth based content to read/watch/hear. It doesn’t mean read something positive but read/watch something action/solution-based. The opposite of negativity isn’t positivity; the opposite of negativity is action/ momentum.
