01 Talk to someone you normally wouldn’t talk to.
Talking to someone you normally wouldn’t talk to not only opens up the door socially but also mentally. Interacting with someone different can psychology create a new routine and a new way at looking at life that can have life-long benefits that you otherwise would never see.
02 Be open to a healthy Argument.
Allowing yourself to hear the other side without interrupting is the best wat to have a healthy argument. Many times there are differences that causes one to feel like they need to go on the defensive. Allowing yourself to see the other persons side even if you disagree and respect there stance is a huge step forward to open up the dialogue for positive resolution.
03 Venture to a new area.
Going to a new place regardless if its a restaurant you pass by all the time or a different side of town that doesn’t seem appealing, is one of the best things one can do for ones self. Its not only the act of physically going to these new places but its also the people that you will encounter that you may never have met had it not been for you getting uncomfortable. Going to a new place allows you to see things that can be exciting and brings out a new side of you that you never knew you had.
04 Refuse to be Desensitized.
When you see something say something. Walking by homeless camps where people have given up hope or turning a blind eye when you see an elderly person crossing the street isn’t the way to handle problems within a society. Spark up a conversation with neighbors, coworkers, friends, family, or even a stranger to get their opinion. Be comfortable to offer suggestions on ideas that can promote change like volunteering at a community center and being present at a local city council meeting. Refusing to be desensitized is the only way change will come!
