Should We Be More CURIOUS?

Should We Be More CURIOUS?  Too bad the old school taught us that CURIOSITY is for the kids, the non-adults.  BUT numerous studies have shown that the BENEFITS of CURIOSITY cuts across both children and adults alike with the benefits linked with psychological, social, emotional and even health benefits.  BUT in the past, we were [wrongly] told that the benefits of CURIOSITY is limited to the intellectual side📶📶📶

Surprisingly, the results of studies listed benefits that DIDN'T require huge efforts to be exerted.  LIKE CURIOSITY helps us survive.  THAT urge to explore helps us remain vigilant and gain knowledge about our constantly changing environment.  LIKE CURIOSITY makes people are happier.  Researches have shown that CURIOSITY has always been associated with HIGHER levels of positive emotions, LOWER levels of anxiety, MORE satisfaction with life and greater psychological well-being🔍🔍🔍

LIKE CURIOSITY boosts achievements.  Studies reveal that CURIOSITY leads to more enjoyment and participation in school and higher academic achievement as well as greater learning, engagement, and even performance at work.  It may seem like common sense, BUT when we are more CURIOUS, it is easier to get involved, to put effort in💊💊💊

LIKE CURIOSITY can expand our empathy.  When we are CURIOUS about others and talk to people outside our usual social circle, we become better able to understand those with lives, experiences, and worldviews different than our own.  LIKE CURIOSITY helps strengthen relationships.  There was one study which asked strangers to pose and answer personal questions and they found out that people were warmer if they showed CURIOSITY📌📌📌

LIKE CURIOSITY improves healthcare.  Research suggests that when doctors are genuinely CURIOUS about their patients' perspectives, both doctors and patients report LESS anger and frustration and instead, make BETTER decisions, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of a medical treatment.  Indeed, there are one too many INTANGIBLE benefits that should be more than enough reason for us all to be constantly MORE CURIOUS than ever✅✅✅
