The video explains: 1. Avoid Rigid Schemata: Don't rely too heavily on preconceived notions and cognitive frameworks; remain open to new information and perspectives. 2. Question Social Influences: Be critical of how family, friends, media, and societal norms shape your perceptions; be aware of potential false beliefs they may create. 3. Recognize Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: Understand that your beliefs can influence your behavior, leading to outcomes that confirm those beliefs, whether positively or negatively. 4. Nurture Diverse Relationships: Maintain a mix of relationships that challenge and support you; avoid surrounding yourself exclusively with those who validate your beliefs. 5.
