Many people believe that your feelings are separate or independent of your thoughts, but the truth is that feelings are as a result of your thoughts. This revelation is very enlightening as well as liberating. It is enlightening because you realize that we are responsible for our attitudes because the power to decide our perspective, our thoughts, and our mood is in our hands.
When you are aware that you can choose and decide your thinking, you discover that you have the ability to best control the circumstances in your life, enhance your decision-making abilities and live a life that is more productive.
We think critically with a mindset of problem-solving when we:
- Depend on reason and not emotions
- Analyze a wide range of viewpoints and perspectives
- Have an open mind to other interpretations
- Acknowledge new evidence, explanations, and results
- Are always willing to re-evaluate information
- Can separate from personal biases and prejudices
- Be considerate of all possibilities
- Avoid forming quick conclusions
Just like all other skills, developing knowledge in critical thinking or problem-solving takes time, practice, and perseverance.
Step-by-Step Critical Thinking for Problem Solving
Identify the problem - first identify if there exists a problem to be solved. It is possible that after thinking this through you realize there is no problem but a misunderstanding. If then there is a problem, you need to identify the exact problem. Try and analyze the pros and cons of the problem, define and state it.
- Analyze the problem - after identifying the problem, now analyze it using different perspectives and ask questions like is it possible to solve it? Do you need help to solve it? The advantage of looking at a problem in different angles is that you may be able to come up with a solution immediately. You may also be able to identify a narrow point of view or bias that needs to be expanded.
- Brainstorm - brainstorming is important as it enables you to come up with several possible solutions. When you come up with several possible solutions, makes it easier for you to find the ultimate solution.
- Decide on the best solution - go through your list of proposed solutions. Take your time and determine what solution amongst the ones you have best suits the situation.
- Take action - now it is time to implement your solution. Every problem has a solution. Do practice approaching problems as opportunities and not as obstacles. This will help you enhance your problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
For every problem that you are able to solve, it increases your self-worth and confidence. Critical thinking enables you to handle future problems with more skill and increases your experience as you gain perspective.
