What happens when you jump to conclusions?
I know that I've jumped to many conclusions and usually didn't like where those leaps took me. Not only does it take me to the wrong place faster, it keeps from from finding the right place. Jumping to conclusions gives us deeply flawed answers to our problems.
Jumping to a solution before we've truly analyzed a problem usually gives us exactly what we expected.
And sometimes, that's not the best answer. Usually, it's not the optimal solution.
How can you ground yourself when you feel about to jump to a conclusion?
Relax. Breathe. Center. Find your focus. What exactly IS it you're working on? What exactly IS your goal? What exactly are you seeing and what do you only THINK you are seeing?
Walk carefully to that solution. It will wait for you.
