My core practice is remembering many times I was wrong. My experience was that this is not natural, which is a realization I backed into when trying to identify when I learned certain things. Without dedicated attention, I found that when I finally understood something well enough to internalize it, my memory of ever having not known it faded away.
So now when I am wrong and need to update, I pay special attention to the fact of my wrongness, and I try to fill it with more detail like the why and how of my wrongness, so I can recover this information later. This helps to keep my internal beliefs from feeling like obvious truths.
As a bonus, it makes me a much more effective communicator. It is very hard to inform people about things when you have no concept of never having been informed. The empathy gained alone is worth the effort, in my opinion.

I’ve edited the post, because people don’t seem to understand it correctly.
It likely wasn’t explained adequately by me, I hope this helps and it is now.
