Brain Hack: Give Yourself Objective Feedback

Asking and giving feedback is extremely valuable, we all know this. Objective feedback helps us see things under different perspectives than ours and reduce the impact of our cognitive biases.

Did you know that you can hack your brain and give (what would be close to a) objective feedback to yourself ?

1. Identify a specific situation
2. Write feedback about that situation from a negative point of view
3. Write feedback about that situation from a positive point of view
4. Combine those 2 feedbacks
5. Identify the patterns between the 2 versions
6. Isolate what is perception and interpretation

👉 The patterns in both stories are objective
👉 The perception and interpretation are purely subjective. Perception from the other people are somewhere between these 2 versions… but probably closer to the positive version, as we tend to be hard on ourselves 😉
