Keep An Open Mind

Practise seeing life from other perspectives to keep your mind agile, your creativity brewing and your people skills on form

2 March 2015

Here are tips on keeping an open mind.

Follow these guidelines to open up your world:

• Expose yourself to different styles of music and art, and read on a wide range of topics.
• Keep a journal in which you reflect on your experiences. When you understand where your beliefs and reactions originate, you’re better equipped to understand others.
• ‘It may be cliché, but travel really does broaden the mind,’ says Johannesburg-based psychologist and life coach Christine Boon. Research in history, culture and belief of the country’s inhabitants. Try to connect with local people.
• Take a class, study a new language, learn to play a musical instrument.
• Enlarge your circle of friends; go somewhere you’ve never been before. Push to the edge of your comfort zone to expand your range of awareness.
