Assuming and Acting on Assumptions - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Is there someone in your life who is irritating you?

You have to deal with them, and maybe their communication skills don’t match yours? You keep trying to get answers and they keep giving you incomplete info or worse yet, no info at all?

It is so easy to assume that they’re just blowing you off, or that they’re rude, or that they’re completely incompetent. How do those assumptions feel to you? Not good, right?  And it’s from your not-good-feeling place that you launch even more attempts to communicate, right?

Stop and think – how do you think your approach to them feels to them? Not good, right? So now both of you feel bad about each other and nothing productive can come from that.

How would you feel if you made a different assumption – try to assume that they’re going through a difficult time in their life and must focus nearly all their attention and time on the big problem. You can feel compassion for them, right? And from that much better feeling place, when you contact them your words and tone will be softer and they’ll respond better.

Deal with them inside your head and watch your irritation evaporate.
