Being outward focused when possible to try to see things from other’s point of view. Slowing down a bit and not jumping to conclusions. Trying to keep my ego in check. It’s okay to be wrong or for a better idea to come from someone else. Making a conscious effort to listen carefully and not interrupt. I can be impatient so I have to actively work on being present and tapping the brakes. Avoiding caricaturing a point of view based on the loudest or most extreme versions of a point of view. Related: make sure you understand and address the strongest version of an argument (i.e., avoid the straw man version). Avoiding Subscribing to ANY ideologies. All ideologies are bullshit and an easy substitute for thinking for yourself.
