Open Mind
In order to keep an open mind, for me, it is important - from time to time - to step (a step) back and to observe and consider decisions. Thinking outside the box as well as an holistic and systemic approach seem some adeaquate measures to stay open minded.
How to?
By not taking things too seriously and by entering - from time to time - unknown territory.
By challenging and questioning (old) structures and habits.
By getting inpiration and talking to / hearing interesting people.

On this, I like to refer to an article about "the ultimate traveler" Anthony Bourdain:
"Be kind and curious, respectful and open-minded as we travel, and as we live.
Let's have fun and do not forget: enjoy the ride."

To focus and to find the flow in the things you love doing is the best experience one can get. To be in balance with yourself.
To strive for the perfect swing at skiing, for the rhythm that matches your heartbeat at running as well as for the best route at climbing.
