How to stop the solar system of pain
Does life sometimes feel like a never-ending cycle of pain and suffering? It's like you keep experiencing the same disappointments and setbacks over and over again. I'm going to introduce you to how the concept of confirmation bias tricks you into perceiving patterns that may not actually exist. I'm sharing an exercise to help you break free from these patterns by seeing things with fresh, "alien eyes". Imagine waking up tomorrow with a clean slate, no preconceived notions about who you are or how your life has been. This exercise can help you collect new data and challenge your old beliefs.
