Reread the first line.
What are you thinking?
Situational awareness? Get off the X? Head on a swivel?
Those are all external views.
To truly see what’s going on in the world outside, we need to know what’s going on inside our world.
To improve situational awareness, we need to cultivate self-awareness.
Self-awareness informs and influences situational awareness.
Our biases color what we see and perceive.
Bias is selfish.
But that can be good if it keeps you focused, safe.
Bias can also be bad if it skews your worldview.
Think “unconscious bias” vs. “conscious bias”.
Does your bias predispose you to a choice that isn’t the ‘smartest’ one you could make?
I’ve said for years, “Be careful what you practice, you may get really good at the wrong thing.” Now replace ‘practice’ with ‘think’ and it opens another door for introspection.
Remember, your cognitive bias is the lens to your world, think of them like ‘I’ glasses ????????
Find new ways to see the world.
Be safe out there.
