Today, let’s talk about conflict! Sometimes, when we do not want to confront something, our people-pleasing traits get activated so that we can move through the discomfort as quickly and as less confrontational as possible. Conflict is scary!
However, it’s important to train ourselves that conflict isn’t always so bad. If we avoid conflict, then we also avoid the opportunity for growth and further connection with that individual. Conflict does have its purpose and we need to reframe how we interact with it.
So, what does healthy conflict look like? If you and the other person are in a disagreement, turn on your active listening skills. It’s important that you sit to listen and hear the other person, and not just hear them to response and deflect as quickly as possible.
Another key aspect to healthy communication is when we have the ability to use ‘I’ statements instead of general ‘you’ statements. When you use the word ‘I’, you unlock a very powerful tool that helps address the root of your problem and feelings without putting the other person on the defensive.
