In part 3 of our Tools to Cope series, we are talking to you about how to challenge your beliefs: How to embrace new perspectives. How to understand what others believe.

Why it matters:
Expanding your worldview leads to greater self-awareness.
Thinking deeply about how another person views the world challenges your own assumptions.
Understanding diverse perspectives helps you to empathise with other people.
How to do it:
Seek out diverse viewpoints: Read the opinions of people you don’t necessarily agree with, watch documentaries, talk to people with different backgrounds.
Question your assumptions: Ask yourself why you believe what you do.
Listen to feedback, even if it’s difficult to hear.
