Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 41: Navigating Through Conflicts
Hello steem4nigeria friends! I welcome you all to my blog.
How do you manage to stay calm during an argument?
Arguments are an inevitable part of humanity but also an act we can always avoid due to some of their negative impacts on those who indulge. It is not all arguments that we are meant to enter. Some arguments undermine our sense of reasoning and each time we indulge in them, we only reduce our level from our respectable status to the low point of argument.
One of the ways to stay calm in an argument is to choose our line of thought before entering one. Choosing what we want to talk about in the face place would give us the leverage to be calm and listen more than talk. Listening to grab points and opinions from the other person keeps us calm rather than irate.
Another way of staying calm is walking away from an argument when it seems it's getting intense or out of hand. Walking away helps to douse the tension already built from the argument. In some cases allowing the other person to win in the argument goes a mile in restoring calm. We don't concede because we failed to make our points but because we needed a calmer atmosphere than otherwise.
Why is it important to listen carefully during a disagreement?
Being a good listener has always paid off in most circumstances. It not only gives the listener ample time to grab all details from the communicator but also allows the listener to make informed decisions or feedback during response.
Good listeners are known to be good decision-makers because of the gift of carefully putting details down before responding.
Aside from this, it is one way to calm tense decisions during disagreement without making it look as if those involved are into any competition or being disrespectful to the other. It puts control on the atmosphere by calming the nerves of one which in turn calms all.
How does understanding someone else's feelings help in resolving conflicts?
When two friends are resolving a conflict it is different from when two divergent people are resolving their differences. This simply means that understanding people goes a long way in conflict revolution as these familiarities are leveraged to bring about peace.
There's always a soft spot when people who already know themselves are faced with conflict resolution. These existing relationships help in resolving their differences quite easily.
What can we do to control our anger during an argument?
One of the ways to control our anger during arguments is to walk out from such arguments. Knowing when to walk out from an argument is key as this puts a check on our temperament.
Another one is to be mindful of the kind of discussions or arguments we engage ourselves in. Knowing this would allow us to avoid mood swings from the onset without entering into such an agony journey.
In conclusion, we should know how to manage our discussions with others who enter into an argument. When it does, it is wise to follow calmly without creating a tense atmosphere that probably consumes us. Listening well, knowing and observing each other's reactions and feelings, and walking away are better ways to come out good from it all.
I am inviting @chilaw, @rossnenye, and @bela90.
To me there is no good argument outside the law court. When comes to argument, we listen to argue and not to learn it be corrected. Just like you wisely pointed out. Walking away from such argument is key to avoiding anger and conflict. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the insights also. There's no good argument outside the court. This was amazing to hear but sound.
