How to Change Your Thinking [UPDATED]

As unique individuals, we think individually. We have our own experiences that have shaped our belief systems. Our learnings from those experiences also shape how we think. And how we think impacts the quality of our decisions, problem-solving abilities, and even life experiences.

However, we can change how we perceive the world around us. Learning and adopting new ways of thinking not only improves our problem-solving abilities but also leads to greater happiness.
