Focus on curiosity and openness from "summary" of Change Your Questions, Change Your Life Workbook by Marilee Adams PhD,Andrea F. Lipton
When we talk about focusing on curiosity and openness, we're really talking about adopting a mindset that is open to exploring new ideas and perspectives. It's about approaching situations with a sense of wonder and a willingness to learn. Curiosity allows us to ask questions, seek out information, and challenge our assumptions. It's about being intellectually curious, wanting to understand how things work and why they are the way they are. Openness, on the other hand, is about being receptive to new experiences and different points of view. It's about being open-minded and non-judgmental, willing to entertain ideas that may be different from our own. Openness allows us to see things from multiple angles and consider alternative possibilities. It's about being flexible and adaptable, able to adjust our thinking based on new information. When we focus on curiosity and openness, we are able to approach challenges with a sense of curiosity rather than defensiveness. Instead of getting stuck in a fixed mindset, we are able to adopt a growth mindset that allows us to learn and grow from our experiences. We are able to see setbacks as opportunities for growth and change, rather than as failures.- We can deepen our connections and build stronger relationships. We are able to communicate more effectively, listen more attentively, and collaborate more productively. Ultimately, focusing on curiosity and openness allows us to approach life with a sense of wonder and possibility, opening ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences.
