What is one thing that feels frustrating to you at work right now? Once you have that situation (or person) in mind, ask yourself:

"What assumptions am I making about this scenario?"

If we're honest with ourselves, our assumptions are alive and active in any situation where we're feeling some degree of frustration or disappointment. The trickiest part is that these assumptions are sneaky — they form in our subconscious and start to influence our thinking without us even realizing it.

This is dangerous, and the only way to stop it is to slow down and intentionally identify any assumptions at play.
