10 steps to being more realistic and less delusional

Acknowledge your biases and beliefs: Everyone has their own beliefs and biases, and it's important to recognize them in order to see things objectively.

1. Seek out multiple sources of information: Don't rely on only one source of information, as this can lead to a narrow perspective and confirmational bias. Instead, seek out multiple perspectives and sources of information.

2. Question your assumptions: Regularly examine the assumptions you make about yourself, others, and the world, and question whether they are based in reality or if they are distorted by your biases.

3. Embrace uncertainty: Recognize that life is full of uncertainty, and embrace the possibility that things may not always turn out as you expect.

4. Practice self-reflection: Take time to reflect on your thoughts and behaviors, and consider whether they align with reality or if they are influenced by your desires and emotions.

5. Surround yourself with realistic people: Spend time with people who have a realistic perspective on life, and who are able to bring you back to reality when you are being unrealistic.

6. Avoid comparing yourself to others: Comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy or unrealistic expectations. Instead, focus on your own goals and progress.

7. Be open to new information: Be open to new ideas and information, and be willing to change your beliefs if new evidence suggests they are incorrect.

8. Seek out mentorship and guidance: Seek out mentors or trusted friends who can provide guidance and support as you work towards becoming more grounded in reality.

9. Accept that some things are out of your control: Recognize that some things in life are beyond your control, and that it's important to let go of unrealistic expectations and focus on what you can control.
