I HATE CONFLICT!

What you you think about conflict? Do you feel it is important for a healthy relationship? Do you think of it as a necessary evil, or do you avoid it like the plague? 

Conflict is a normal part of the human existence and fearing conflict just adds an unneeded amount of stress to our minds and bodies. Unless the person you plan to have conflict with is a sociopath or a raging manic, conflict should not be that difficult or frightening. Whenever 2 people want different things there will be conflict. Because we are human we will rupture our relationships and conflict resolution is one of the ways we repair that rupture.

Today I will share 4 simple concepts to focus upon when you are preparing for conflict. Following these 4 steps will allow you to engage in conflict resolution from a more calm, grounded perspective.
