Test your objectivity

While reality is subjective, as highlighted in the film “What the Bleep Do We Know?”, our so-called “objective” view is often shaped by who we are rather than by how things truly are. Striving for a closer understanding of actual events can help protect us from many unpleasant situations. Here are some suggestions to enhance your sense of objectivity:

1. Confront Facts: It’s easier to address facts by examining the immediate situation instead of jumping to conclusions.
2. Examine, Don’t Speculate: Focus on analyzing situations rather than making assumptions.
3. Put Things in Perspective: Concentrate on the significant aspects of a situation rather than getting bogged down by the trivial.
4. Seek Objective Data: Look for concrete evidence to support your feelings and arguments.
5. Analyze Correlations: Reflect on the connection between your experiences and the actual events.
6. Evaluate Your Thoughts: Assess the accuracy of your emotions and ideas rather than relying solely on intuition.
7. Gather External Information: When forming an opinion about someone or something, collect as much external information as possible to inform your perspective.
8. Share Your Feelings: Discuss your feelings with others to gain different viewpoints, which can help you see facts more clearly.
9. Stay Grounded in Reality: When feeling sad or angry, consciously focus on reality. Ask yourself how rational your reaction is compared to the actual facts.
