Yes! So true. We all have biases through our metamorphosis. During school, the biases were towards spending time on field, anything and everything was sports. When I chanced upon to studying history and later on wiki, there was always a psychological drive to search anything anf everything on wiki and who is whose son , who when died, who when what conquered, why, how, when. When that drive vanished, my education asked my brain to sequence anything and everything. I could just search whole night why and what animals were not sequenced yet. Later, there was a frame (not square but of Ō) of Dashboards, black, red and a bit of grey no green and orange. Anything and Everything seemed just monthly comparison. These frames of mind comes and goes. Our biases. True. So true.

That's true - the monthly comparison of our Translation deck was a frame that made it tough for us to see things that were happening on larger time scales.

Pious, I just chanced upon this. So simply put, yet to profound. Our thoughts and feelings are consequences of the frame. Change the frame sounds so brilliant. You must share this on linked in. I loved reading this

Thank you Beedisha. That's very interesting that you mention LinkedIn, cause I looked at this as something personal and didn't even consider sharing it on LinkedIn. There you go - another frame I look at the world through that I can be aware of and loosen. I just posted it on LinkedIn. :)

The more you age and gain wisdom from life experiences (which IMO is the only and best way to learn and choose a happy frame) the more these frames tend to thin out ...you get out of silos in your mind and tend to look at things differently...

TBH there are some frames that are thick.. unbreakable and those biases come from the way you are brought up...very hard to be broken... getting exposure to different outlook is the only way to beat it

Yup. I do agree that age is definitely one thing that automatically thins out some frames. I find so many things that I don't care about now that I used to earlier.

Exposure - for sure. Also, keeping alive a continued curiosity and awareness about the frames we are in.
