1. Question Your Assumptions 🔍

Definition: Confirmation Bias – our tendency to accept info that confirms our beliefs and ignore what contradicts it.

Example: If I believe my friend didn’t like my joke, I might only notice their silence and miss the fact they actually laughed later.

Application: Next time you think something is obvious, ask yourself, “Am I just seeing what I want to see?” Look for at least one reason you could be wrong. If you’re convinced your friend isn’t texting you because they're mad, try considering they’re just busy instead.
