Rather than letting as few things into one's identity as possible (which might prohibit growth), why not actively absorb the opposite viewpoints? Keep your identity balanced, not necessarily small.

Doing so intentionally and temporarily can be a good way to expose viewpoints you may not realize you've internalized. (Meditation helps, too.)

Also, think about what stuff in your mental surroundings (things you read regularly, etc.) tend to reinforce certain beliefs you already have.
