“Curiosity and questions will get you further than confidence and answers.”
Maxime Lagace
Today I am concluding the 10 Ways to Improve Your Curiosity by the Britannica Curiosity Compass.
Get Uncomfortable- “When you push yourself to do the things you’re afraid of doing, it helps you expand your sense of what you’re capable of.” Comfort has a strong hold on us, but taking the first steps outside your comfort zone will allow for personal growth.
Embrace the Enemy-“Trying to understand an issue from both sides is an integral part of becoming a critical thinker.Take the challenge to “flip a strong belief on its head.” The results will be two-fold. You will gain a greater understanding of the other point of view, but you will also be able to make a stronger case for your beliefs.
Tech-Time Out- “It’s important to ground yourself and find the interesting and curious parts of life outside of technology.” Look for other ways to feed your curiosity. Books, experiences, and other people are just a few possibilities.
Explore Your Environment- “The world outside your home is teeming with points of interest, that are just begging to be explored.” My experience has been that carrying on conversations with the people you meet along the way will add to your overall experience.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall- Don’t fail to take time for reflection. “Reflection is the practice of deliberately looking back on your choices and experiences from the past. By reflecting on what you have already done and learned you can use this as a jumping off point for something new.
Hopefully one of these five suggestions gives you an idea to jumpstart your curiosity.
