Suzie is online and ready to coach YOU!   www.DivaOfLove.com

MAIN POINTS:

1. There are causes that are worthy of our offence – namely racism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia and all other discriminations – where the smallest comment triggers a massive offense.

2. Some people, however, are hypersensitive, and they take offence for the sake of taking offence. Rather than championing a cause, they use it for their own purposes.

3. The virtual world has emboldened those who are looking for a voice but use it to attack and destroy those who they do not agree with or who they want to take down without the opportunity for respectful discussions.

4. Some take offence to any feedback they receive, even if it is given in a positive and equitable way. This is usually due to some unresolved trauma or confidence issues.

5. Gaslighting can also be a cause of taking offence. Someone who gaslights another makes them questions themselves, their abilities and their reality by using stereotypes, for example.

§ TRY THIS: Take note of the things that offend you and determine whether they are due to your own worldview, your ego, and your mental health or to actual societal issues.

POST IT NOTE: I will not take offence to everything

§ MAIN POINTS:

1. Outside your comfort zone is where the good stuff is. Thinking outside the box literally means stepping outside that box to find new, innovative ways of doing things.

2. Keeping it simple by not overthinking or overanalyzing a situation helps you see things as they are rather than through your own lens.

3. Asking the right questions and actively listening will open up a wealth of knowledge you did not even know existed. Remember to ask “what am I not asking you that I should” when picking someone’s brain about something so that you can get the full picture.

4. Using brainstorming will help take the quantity of ideas in order to create an innovative quality solution to whatever dilemma you are facing and helps you expand your worldview.

5. Expanding your worldview helps you not only understand others but will allow different perspectives and solutions to the decisions you have to make.

§ TRY THIS: Think of a problem or dilemma that you have and try and find a new way of looking at it.

POST IT NOTE: Not every solution comes in a box

MAIN POINTS:

1. Having too many options to choose from causes more stress and makes finding what we want or making decisions more difficult.

2. Avoid too much information online by filtering what information you see. If something is triggering to your mental health, keep it out of your main view, even if it means unfriending or unfollowing someone.

3. Approaching information from a critical thinking perspective helps you be more objective and come to informed decisions rather than emotional ones.

4. Stepping away from the virtual into the real world helps you gain valuable perspective and gives you a break from information overload.

5. Saying NO to information overload helps protect your mental health and wellbeing. Remember also that curiosity for the sake of personal comparison will never end well.

§ TRY THIS: Take a break from all online activities – social media, dating apps, job sites, news sites – and whatever else you waste time on. Use the time to do something that will benefit your mental health and wellbeing.

POST IT NOTE: I will step away from technology

§ MAIN POINTS:

1. Looking at the world, situations and events in an objective rather than subjective manner removes personal bias and helps you see more clearly.

2. See the big picture by flexing your observation muscles. This will help you be a more effective critical thinker.

3. When collecting information and data about a subject, ensure that it is unbiased and spans all sides of the issue.

4. When you effectively communicate with others, you will ask better questions, challenge your biases and learn from others.

5. Once you have all the information, you are better positioned to make an objective decision based on facts and not emotions.

§ TRY THIS: reflect on the critical thinking skills you already possess and those you may need to develop. Work on the ones that you need work on.

POST IT NOTE: I will be an objective thinker
