Being Open to Advice
7:24:29 2023-12-31 1626

1- Recognize the roadblocks that make it hard to accept advice. If you're struggling to get help with a difficult decision or you tend to quickly dismiss other people's advice, take some time to reflect on why that might be. Dig deep—being honest with yourself about what's getting in the way can really help you let your walls down. Some of those things might include:

  • Being defensive about your own point of view
  • Being over-confident in your own opinion
  • Not trusting other people
  • Seeing uninvited advice as unhelpful
  • Preferring immediate satisfaction to long-term gains
  • Being stuck in a rut
  • Not being ready to hear the advice
  • Feeling afraid

 


2- Acknowledge the benefits that can come from good advice. Guidance from the right people can help you come up with solutions that you might not have thought of on your own. In addition, they might offer a perspective that helps you think of the problem in a new way, or they might be able to point out a flaw in your thinking.

  • When you recognize these advantages to listening to good advice, it's a lot easier to drop your defenses when someone offers their opinion.
  • Make sure you're really clear on the heart of the issue before you look for advice. That way, you can be sure the person who's advising you will really understand what you're asking.

 


3- Let go of the idea that you already have the answer. Unfortunately, we all have a tendency to be over-confident that we know what's best. However, that mindset can really hold you back. When someone is offering your advice, try to listen in a receptive and open-minded way. After all, they might have a solution that could work better than whatever you already had in mind.

  • For instance, if you're at work and you've always done something a certain way, someone might come along and suggest a different way to do it. If you're open to the idea, you might find that it actually turns out to be more efficient, saving you time and trouble throughout the day.
