Sometimes, it's okay to be wrong. Sometimes, it's even helpful to your mental health. Here's why opening your mind to new ideas can be beneficial—and 3 steps for how to achieve it.
Openness of thought is almost the opposite of a fixed all-or-none thinking style. Keep in mind that all-or-none thinking might be steeped in a protective belief system, or schema. In other words, having a fixed ideology or belief may seem to protect one against the barrage of information and belief systems that we would otherwise need to consider.
Do an experiment and see how many times you can notice this all-or-none thought throughout the day. You're not trying to change anything here. You're just trying to practice observing the thought. Do this noticing practice for a week, writing down the number of times that you caught your all-or-none thought.
