The life class gave me a chance to slow down and reflect on how I process my thoughts. We examined two ways our minds function\u2014one quick and reactive, the other slower and more deliberate. It helped me recognise the difference between automatic responses and thoughtful decisions.
I also got clearer about the differences between belief, opinion, and fact. That\u2019s something I hadn\u2019t thought deeply about before, and now I\u2019m realising how easily we confuse them. Biases play a huge role, too, often without us noticing.
