Why reckless outbursts compromise your well-being
You don’t need to show your teeth to everyone. Learn to pick your fights. Engage confrontations cleverly and you’ll win some of your fights without ever breaking a sweat. The key is to remain calm. You don’t have to be cool inside… deep inside, you can be raging like a bull and spewing hot lava all over the place. But don’t show your anger to everyone or you’ll become that person whom everyone knows yells a lot but achieves nothing.
What’s the key to resolving conflicts?
Being the bigger person doesn’t mean you win all of your fights. Losing most of them enables you to achieve your targeted goals in the long run. I don’t mind losing. Coming off as the one who lost when I am confronted by people. Life is a game of chess, you allow people to win the battle today only for you to win the war tomorrow. Think and grow rich, a book by Napoleon Hill, can help you balance your emotions. Everything passes through your emotions, and if your emotions are wired to a default fighting mode you will fail.
You cannot be right all of the time. You don’t have to have the final say. Did you know that you can keep quiet and listen? You can say sorry even when you’re right and they are wrong. Life is a game of chess. I am not afraid to apologize. It’s easy because it relieves tension. Have a goal when you stoop low to conquer. Knowing why you’re keeping the peace enables you to be effective.
Did you know that rage can be controlled? You can choose not to fight and favor peace. The strongest people don’t confront others. Choose to have a demeanor which is powerful enough to calm hot waters.
Though what happens when you meet a person who’s looking for a fight? Here are 3 ways how you can defuse tension between two people:
1. Don’t shout back because it allows the other person to feed off of it.
2. You’re reasonable. A cool and slow to speak person is able to transmit it and bring calm to the situation.
3. Look for a compromise. Does the situation call for an apology or an agreement? You can agree to disagree by moving forward and finding common ground.
