As humans, it is natural for us to cling to what we know and what has worked for us in the past. This tendency towards habit can be beneficial in many ways, as it helps us to be efficient and effective in our daily lives. However, it can also hold us back from making positive changes and exploring new ideas. In order to grow and evolve as individuals, it is essential that we open ourselves up to new ways of thinking.

1. Seek out new experiences and information


Reading a book on a topic outside of your comfort zone or traveling to a new place and immersing yourself in a different culture can expose you to new ideas and perspectives.

2. Surround yourself with diverse people and ideas


Having a social circle with different backgrounds and viewpoints can help broaden your understanding of the world and stimulate new ways of thinking.


3. Adopt a positive attitude towards learning and growth


Being open-minded and willing to try new things, even if they seem intimidating or unfamiliar at first, can help you embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with learning something new.

4. Set aside time for reflection and contemplation


Taking time to think more deeply about your beliefs and values can help you process new information and ideas, and identify any areas where you may be holding onto outdated or limiting beliefs.

5. Be open to new experiences and perspectives


By exposing yourself to new ideas and being willing to listen to others, even if you don't necessarily agree with them, you can learn from others and challenge your own beliefs in a healthy way. Overall, making space for a new way of thinking requires a willingness to embrace change and be open to new ideas.

In conclusion, creating space for a new way of thinking requires a willingness to be open to new experiences and perspectives, to surround ourselves with diverse people and ideas, and to have a positive attitude towards learning and growth. As Joe Dispenza said, "The day that you make a change within, is the day that you will see the change without." By following this advice, we can continue to evolve and grow as individuals, and make positive changes in our personal and professional lives.
