This is a long-term goal that you’ll have to consistently work at, but it will challenge you to stay open-minded. Always try to interact with people who are different from you. This goes for your friend groups, but you can also keep your circles diverse by taking up new hobbies, joining a course, frequenting a new neighborhood, or learning a new language. Getting to know other people who have different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs will help you to be more understanding, because you’ll be more aware of the unique challenges that other people face.
