So what is Leapfrogging?
Leapfrogging is another Thought Hole we often fall into, in fact Leapfrogging is the umbrella error of Thought Holes. This means all Thought Holes somehow include jumping to a conclusion or making an assumption without having all the evidence.
Have you ever had one of those moments when you start thinking 'What if...?'
What if it goes wrong?
What if I look foolish?
What is they don't like me?
What if I'm not good enough?
This is an example of leapfrogging, when you jump to a conclusion or predict the future without having any evidence it is going to happen. Or, you think something that happened in the past is going to happen again. Sometimes you may also make a statement, like when you walk in a room and people stop talking, 'They're talking about me' could be your thought process. Again you have no evidence that is true but begin to believe it.
Leapfrogging then takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and often you manifest these emotions for some time or magnify the situation.
How do we manage Leapfrogging?
To jump to conclusions and make assumptions is an impulsive reaction and therefore when you find yourself Leapfrogging the advice we give is to ask yourself what evidence do you have that what you are thinking IS true?
Stop what you are doing.
Think about what you have thought or said.
Decide are your thoughts helpful? Is carrying on going to make the situation better or worse for you or others?
Act and follow the response that would make it better, that often means challenging your thoughts for evidence of truth.
If you're a leap-frogger, start noticing, start challenging and start changing your perspective, you'll feel a whole lot better.
