A seconds-scale daily micro-practice for Openness and Learning Mindset (VCoL collection): Notice when you feel resistance arising. Pause for a breath. Silently say: "I am curious about this." Then ask yourself or the other person a genuine question to understand better. Replace "Yes, but..." with "Help me understand..." Practised many times a day, with a brief evening reflection, until the move becomes automatic.
