Assumptions are Toxic for Relationships | How False Assumptions Hurt Our Ability to Connect & Relate

Assumptions are Toxic for Relationships | How False Assumptions Hurt Our Ability to Connect & Relate While our ability to make decisions on our feet speaks to the sheer horsepower that our brains harness... we don't always get it right. This is highlighted by the (many) times we had to take our foot out of our mouths, or we found ourselves knee deep in the consequences that our false assumptions created. Sometimes it's the conclusions we jump to, and the way we handle our reactions and our behaviours to those beliefs, that end up leaving irreparable damage to the people, places and situations that we care about. So while creating action on an assumption seems... inviting, resist the urge. Make a conscious choice to reserve judgment and to check and verify facts and conclusions before acting on information that could be entirely false, and also completely damaging. The people under consideration will appreciate the mindfulness, and the added intention serves to preserve and safeguard the relationships we hold close to heart. Any questions?
