Resumen rápido
We operate on autopilot most of the time, making hundreds of unconscious assumptions about people, situations, and ourselves.
Bringing just one of these assumptions into conscious awareness creates space for new perspectives, better decisions, and more authentic connections.
Lo que dice la ciencia
Cómo empezar ahora mismo
- Notice when you feel frustrated, confused, or stuck today
- Identify the assumption underlying that feeling
- Write it down clearly: 'I assumed that...'
- Ask: What evidence supports this? What contradicts it?
- Consider alternative explanations or perspectives
Cómo adaptar este hábito
Si tienes poco tiempo por trabajo
Challenge one assumption before important meetings—'I assume they'll reject this idea' becomes 'What if they're excited by it?'
Si tienes hijos
Help children identify assumptions about school or friendships—teaches emotional intelligence and problem-solving
Si estás estudiando o en formación
Question assumptions about difficult subjects—'I'm bad at math' might become 'I haven't found the right learning approach yet'

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I was convinced my new coworker didn't like me because she rarely spoke in meetings. When I finally questioned this assumption, I realized she was just introverted and thoughtful. The next day, I asked for her opinion specifically, and she shared brilliant insights I'd been missing. Now we collaborate regularly, and I've learned to question my assumptions about quiet people. That one questioned assumption transformed a strained relationship into a valuable partnership.
