We have been hearing this term “critical thinking” for a long time but many of us don’t exactly know what it is.

To understand this term in a simple way, it is a broad skill and a thought process that can be applied in many areas of life to solve the problems or to make decisions. Normal human thought process through mind typically remains active all the time. That does not mean their mind keeps thinking critically 100% all the time when it does not need to. Otherwise, it makes the human brain feel very tired.

Whether you are a family member, an individual contributor for the organization or managing the team or running the organization, your critical thinking will be different depending on what and how you are trying to solve the problem or to make a decision. Hence, critical thinking is a process of using human minds where people closely monitor their analyzing logic, reasoning, and creativity and think the most an efficient and effective way of information to draw a conclusion to understand better that allows them to make judgments or decisions in life.

To improve your critical thinking you can always ask yourself some simple questions such as what do I know now, how do I know this, why do I need to know this, what I might be overlooking at to make a decision, etc. While asking these questions to yourself, just be aware of your mental process for thinking about what you think. If your perspective does not look right, adjust it by seeing the same thing from a different perspective. At that point in time, your thought process becomes self-reflection to what you are thinking. If it requires, you may need to do further analysis and understand better to make a good realistic decision. There might be a case where you may need to think in reverse which avoids the blaming game to conclude for your better understanding and make the right decision. I hope you find this information helpful. It all begins with you.
