Cognitive Biases that Create the Way You Experience Life

Projection—our preferences are projected towards what we see and interpret accordingly.
Extrapolation—when we use our present circumstances to analyze our entire life
Anchoring—the first information we hear tends to influence the way we perceive things
Negativity—selective attention makes us pay attention to bad news
Conservatism—when you rely on information you had earlier
Clustering illusion—when your subconscious mind starts seeing patterns in random events
Confirmation—occurs when the information we listen to supports or encourages our ideas
Choice-supportive—the way we make choices towards things we see as beneficial and disregarding the flaws that come with it

Angela Grey is an Indigenous novelist, poet, and painter whose work explores the intersections of memory, identity, and healing. She, formerly an architectural drafter, studied creative writing, as well as spirituality and healing, at the University of Minnesota, where she deepened her commitment to storytelling as both an art and a form of medicine. Alongside her writing, Angela finds balance in yoga and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which shape the reflective quality of her work. She lives in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with her husband, one spirited pup, and four cats. When she’s not writing, she enjoys camping, budget travel to places like Maine, Oregon, and the coastal Carolinas, and gathering with family around a BBQ grill. View all posts by angelagrey
