However, it\u2019s easily fixed with the right mindset shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These next three tips should be perfect for anyone who\u2019s sometimes guilty of being closed to others\u2019 perspectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 Ways To Tune Back In<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three tips to help you deal with situations where you or someone else is refusing to listen and it is affecting your communication and wellbeing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#80239f\"><strong>1. Be Humble<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Accepting your shortcomings, acknowledging others&#8217; strengths and achievements, and opening&nbsp; yourself up to learning from others is an incredible way to start managing this stress reaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than defending their own perspectives, humble people are more focused on listening to outside perspectives. It means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Growing your self-awareness. <\/strong>This can help you feel less uncomfortable admitting your mistakes or lack of knowledge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Schedule regular check-ins with others. <\/strong>Ask your colleagues, boss, or peers for their thoughts on your performance or behavior, and be willing to implement their feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create your own support network.<\/strong> Find others who can help, motivate, and guide you when you need it; this will help you stay on track.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Listen actively. <\/strong>Try concentrating on how your conversation partners see things while they talk. Paraphrase, summarise, ask questions, and show your interest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Give genuine compliments.<\/strong> Try to recognize and praise others where that credit is due. Be genuine!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set personal humility goals: <\/strong>A few examples might include owning up to your mistakes or giving others credit where it is due.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find role models: <\/strong>Who practices humility well? Watch how they act, communicate, and handle setbacks. Learn from them and practice what they do right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#80239f\"><strong>2. Adopt a Growth Mindset<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A growth mindset is a concept introduced by psychologist Carol Dweck (@link), and describes the belief that \u201cmost basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work\u2014brains and talent are just the starting point.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fostering a growth mindset doesn\u2019t just help you become more receptive to feedback and others\u2019 opinions, it also helps you develop your resilience. The following tips may just help you view others\u2019 input as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than a threat to your ego:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set yourself some personal goals: What would you like to be better at? How would you like to grow? Establish realistic goals using a framework like SMART, if it helps.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embrace challenges: Try viewing them as growth opportunities rather than fearing failure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace negative self-talk: Start noticing your inner dialogue and replacing self-defeating thoughts (like <em>\u201cI\u2019m terrible at this\u201d<\/em>) with positive, growth-oriented affirmations like <em>&#8220;I\u2019m going to get better with practice.\u201d<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Celebrate your wins: Regularly monitor your progress. Reward yourself for your hard work and commitment to growth!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn from your mistakes: This is a great way to adapt your behavior and do better next time!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seek others\u2019 feedback: Be proactive about asking colleagues, peers, and others for their thoughts on how you can improve. These are all great opportunities to do just that!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embrace a learner\u2019s mindset: Ask questions, be curious, and try new things. Exactly the opposite of refusing to listen!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#80239f\"><strong>3. Reflect On Your Values<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on your values is another great way to open yourself up to others\u2019 perspectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Succinctly, it\u2019s about considering the ways that being closed-minded or unreceptive is preventing you from living in alignment with your principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal here is to move closer toward more authentic and \u201cvalued\u201d living.\u201d Not only can it improve your relationships, but it will also help you grow as a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>List your core values (e.g., respect, compassion, integrity, or perseverance)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using this list as a guide, consider how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors align with these values<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to think of times when you might have allowed closed-mindedness or defensiveness to prevent you from acting in a way that aligns with these values and the impact this had<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Come up with practical ways to prioritize your values even when you\u2019re tempted to protect your ego. Setting personal goals and practicing empathy are two great examples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular check-ins will help you keep tabs on your progress toward more value-aligned living and adapt your strategy as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You just don\u2019t get it!&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;I\u2019m not looking for your opinion\u2026&#8221; Have you ever encountered these responses when you\u2019re (just) trying to give helpful feedback?
