Stop Extrapolating Your Perceptions - Darius Foroux

A few examples of how we extrapolate our exceptions all the time:

• “House prices will probably keep increasing.”
• “That person will never change.”
• “My business will keep growing.”
• “I will never learn from my mistakes.”
• “He doesn’t like me.”

The root of this problem is our quick judgment.

But that doesn’t mean we should follow through on every single thought that pops into our mind.

Every time you start thinking about future events or start making mental movies, keep count on a post-it note or a small piece of paper. Be aware of your thoughts. But don’t follow through.
