Are You Keeping Yourself from Fun? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Do you think of yourself as open-minded? Most people do, and yet most people have at least a couple of “absolutely not!” beliefs. Those are beliefs that separate you from at least part of the human population.

It used to be common for men to believe that women were dumber and more emotional than men. It used to be common for people to believe that melanin-enhanced people were less smart or capable or motivated. It used to be common for people to believe that animals don’t feel emotions, yet everyone who’s ever lived with a pet knows that’s not true.

If you have beliefs that separate you from others, then you may not be as open-minded as you think. How do you know which closed-minded beliefs you might be harboring? Ask yourself the question, “would I ever …..” and fill in the blank.

Maybe it’s “would I ever vote Republican?” If the answer is “absolutely not!” then you’re closed-minded on the topic of partisan politics. Ask yourself about the beliefs you hold most dear, and answer yourself honestly.

The more open-minded you can allow yourself to be, the more you’re open to learning from and enjoying the people and experiences life has for you.
