 You will continue to work on positive communication through to November 2023.

Peaceful Approaches to Problem Solving

There you are, exactly in the middle of an argument, and what goes through your mind? How did I get here? Conflict is a deeply human thing, and the little patch of real estate of conflict that exists between two people is, if not palpable, almost so. But that does not mean that there should be a stagnant boring relationship full to the top with boringness. 

Conflict 

Before we scale the full groundwork and nitty-gritty of this, we should quickly realize that conflict is never a bad concept. In fact, if handled correctly, it tends to lead to growth, greater understanding, and more connectedness. Conflict arises when two things that do not hold similar values forcefully intrude other problems, which basically boil down to how to deal positively with the differences thus created.

A: So the first step is always active listening.

Turning into others 

It’s more than just muttering the other person’s words; it’s about listening in order to hear their point of view. here are some tools you can use to home in on active listening skills:  

✅ Try not to interrupt them or plan what you will say while they continue talking.

✅ You may also engage non-verbally by sometimes nodding your head, as if to give a signal of engagement.

✅ Confirm what you’ve heard by paraphrasing.

The Power of Empathy

Active listening is a prerequisite of empathy. If you approach conflict with empathy, you are likely to achieve common ground and mutual satisfaction.

Let your voice be heard: Be articulate. 

Use "I" Statements

If you are going to express your thoughts and feelings during a conflict, it helps to use "I" statements. This method describes your experience and feelings without blaming the other person. For example;

Don't say: "You never listen to me!"

This little shift has a huge improvement on how your message will land and will help keep the other person from being defensive.
So Much More than Words: Tone of Voice and Body Language

Remember that communication doesn't end with the words you choose. Match what you say to how you say it. During a conflict, try to:

🔷 Speak calmly and evenly.
🔷 Open your body language (no crossing of arms).
🔷 Watch your facial expressions!
🔷 Getting to the Bone

The more you learn about yourself, the better prepared you'll be to solve the conflict and engage in healthy relationships.

Mediation

If your conflict seems to need the help of those who can do with a little perspective and maybe a little less ambiguity, consider mediation. In many cases, a mediator or counselor should be contacted, for example: 

✅ There is either a very deep-seated bitterness or an ongoing feud
✅ An imbalance in the power dynamics
✅ Involvement of legal or numerous multifaceted issues
✅ You cannot process your emotions alone

Because they are neutral third parties, they see things outside of your conflict and the resolution process without getting too bogged down in confusion.
