Thanks for checking in to find out what we’ve been up to this week at The Art of Charm — where relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?
Minisode Monday #6 | Not Alone In Loneliness
This week, make an effort to surround yourself with people who challenge your thinking — not just people who agree with you. Hear people out when they express opinions with which you disagree. Read an article from a website you don’t normally agree with. Poke holes in the logic — it’ll make you a better critical thinker.
In some cases, it may change the way you think entirely.
