Seize This Superpower: Letting Go of Assumptions and Tuning in to Reality | Ep 31

The ability to pause and question assumptions is a superpower.

It allows you to engage the executive functioning frontal lobe of your brain, rather than relying solely on the fight flight freeze response which will frequently lead you down the wrong road when it comes to making important, impactful decisions.

In this podcast I give you three steps to breaking free of assumptions and the fight, flight freeze response that causes them.

Letting go of assumptions is about unlocking your potential, not just about avoiding mistakes. When you challenge assumptions, you gain clarity, strengthen relationships, and make smarter decisions.

Imagine the freedom and power you get from acting based on reality, rather than the stories your mind has created.

This skill is part of what makes meaningful relationships, good decision making, and great leadership. But it's rarely practiced.
