Dealing with Conflict constructively

YOUR EMOTIONAL STABILITY

Relationships can be quite challenging. Whether it’s with your family members, co-workers, friends and even with your own children. You always need to be prepared for unexpected misconceptions, that end up developing into arguments. This requires one to keep their emotional bank on check, all the time. By regularly finding creative and constructive ways of communicating with your loved ones, you will be developing a value system that will help you to deal with conflict when it arises. You need to find a way of developing an emotional safety net for both yourself and your loved ones, so that you don’t find yourself fighting unnecessary battles. Battles can be caused by life’s issues and disappointments that occur when we least expect. You might find yourself arguing with someone about a certain issue that happened, while in their minds they might be responding to you based on a situation that happened to them a long time ago. This could include a traumatic situation they might have experienced before. Often times we tend to fight with the person concerned, while ignoring the opportunity of solving the actual problem. Learning to choose your battles is the best, first step forward. Through this, you will be putting yourself in a position where you are able to see the problem from a birds view.  Stepping back allows you to choose your battles and not waste your energy on things that don’t matter. Stepping back protects your heart. Often times we hit concrete walls with our emotions and pretend as if we are not getting hurt. We let abusive situations batter us, while we stand still without a fight. Moving away from a place of confusion, disarray and abuse will allow you to gain a new perspective on the matter. However, when you decide to stick it out even though you are not gaining anything from the situation, you are in danger of hurting and bruising your heart.

As you think about the New Year, find a quiet spot and reflect about your emotional well being. How have you been handling conflict. I believe that this will be an important step for developing a healthy emotional well-being.

The following resources will help you in your journey of finding, emotional wellness.

A NEW SEASON

    Let’s focus on Self Improvement Many of us might be wondering about what this season holds. Well, none of us know what tomorrow will bring. All we know is that we have today. We also have hope that some of our dreams will be fulfilled this season. Seasons come and go, according to the order of creation. We do not have control over what each season brings. We cannot expect what happened in the previous season, whether those things were good or bad. Each season gives us an opportunity to start again! A fresh start We have a chance to look at our lives and decide what we want to change, in order for us to make our lives better. Each season brings us new challenges and new opportunities for growth  so that we can   reinvent ourselves. This is a decision that each and every one of us need to take as we welcome this new season. Don’t go through life without a Dream! Do not expect old disappointments and failures to be part of your future. This is a new day! T...

A PLACE OF PROTECTION, NOT YOUR PALACE!

We all desire to arrive in a place where there is prosperity, peace, love and joy. This is a normal human desire. We often do our best to get to that place. This is a place of rest, a place we have been dreaming about all our days. This is where we feel accepted, needed and even protected. In this place we see a certain measure of productivity and this fills our cups and we are tempted to think that, we have arrived!  There is something that looks like what we have been hoping for, but it’s not quite the real thing! Some people call it the ‘second best option.’ This is not entirely what you are hoping for but it does the job. There is a Palace that God has prepared for you and this is a place of Ease, it’s a place where you will feel entirely at home. Sometimes however, because of life’s struggles we tend to think that our highway to success is the actual ‘Success.’ Look at David for example; he knew that he was anointed to be a leader. In fact God had appointed him to be the nex...

 The Blessing of Giving Thanks Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His mercies endures forever! Psalms 106 :1 God’s mercies never fail. People might fail us, situations might bring with them, disappointments but God’s love is steadfast. That’s why it’s so important to be thankful! When you release your faith and give God thanks even though your situation appears hopeless, you set yourself up for an amazing overflow of blessings.   When you give thanks despite your situation, you are saying to God,  ‘I totally trust You, Lord!’ God is honored in this way and He won’t help but pour out more blessings your way. He will give you more than you’ve ever imagined. May the Lord bless you abundantly as you continue to give thanks...
