Practicing How to Examine Your Beliefs

Examination of one's beliefs can help in determining if they are true or not. The following steps can help in this process:
  1. Identify the belief you want to examine. Ask yourself what your belief is and write it down.
  2. Gather information. Seek out evidence that supports and contradicts the belief. It can be useful to get different perspectives from reliable sources.
  3. Analyze the evidence. Evaluate the evidence you have gathered and weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each.
  4. Re-evaluate the belief. Based on the evidence, ask yourself if your belief is still valid. Be open to changing your belief if the evidence suggests it.
  5. Repeat the process. The process of examining beliefs should be ongoing, as new information and experiences can lead to changes in beliefs.
