Benefits of Counterfactual Thinking
Benefits of Counterfactual Thinking
- Counterfactual thinking makes us look at the events from multiple angles, making us mentally experience it from a different spectrum.
- Thinking with a counterfactual bend of mind boosts creativity in solving future challenges.
- It helps the thinker store important information that could impact the analysis and solutions of future events.
- A non-linear, non-mainstream way of thinking avoids the usual pitfalls of anger, anxiety, fear and grief when things go wrong. This sort of action-oriented approach comes with a positive bend of mind and a desire to do something, instead of getting stuck in an endless loop of worry and anxiety.
