Mindset Issue: Confirmation Bias

[Ismail941]

Hey Folks, I think I am stuck with confirmation bias in my mind and it seems I can't get out of it due to some road blockage or something.
When I try to google to look up a particular topic, my mind already confirms *before & **after* looking up that topic.
I asked this same question in a psychology forum and a guy told me: Increase your awareness and reduce the confirmation.
Any insights or feedback on how to reduce it?
