Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 41: Navigating Through Conflicts

Greetings to my steemians family all over the world. Hope you are all doing great. My gratitude to steam4nigeria for organising this contest with the topic "Navigating Through Conflicts" that i find interesting to participate.
I want to sincerely say that without conflict, there's no resolution.

I will love to invite my friends @bossj23 @wizzyboy3 @ninapenda to participate in this contest if they have not yet participated.

What is Conflict

Conflict is always known to be something that comes with negativity, because it leads to violence and war in certain situations. It is a disagreement or arguments between two people, group of people, or countries that has not yet reach a valid agreement. Conflict arises as a result of arguing thoughts, ideas and actions of people in a certain place.

How do you manage to stay calm during an argument?

When there is an argument between me and another person, be it a friend, brother or sister, i try all my best to listen to what the person says one after the other to pick a point so i can know how to answer or argue or decide not to even talk at all. I also manage to stay calm during an argument by talking to myself to stay calm especially when the argument has reached a point i am angry.

Why is it important to listen carefully during a disagreement?

It is important to listen carefully during a disagreement because, you will need to pick a point inorder to give a valid answer and make the person understand from your point of view. It is also important to listen carefully during a disagreement incase the other person makes a threatening, or abusive words to you, you can counter it immediately and take note. He or she might be serious to act according to whatever came out of her mouth.

It is important to listen carefully so that you can come up with the solution to the problem and also make your decision.

How does understanding someone else's feelings help in resolving conflicts?

If there's no conflict, they word resolution would have been useless. People fight so that they can come to a valid agreement. When you understand someone's feelings during an argument, your communication skills with the person will be weigh before you speak, inorder not to hurt the person. When you use words to hurt someone's feelings, that is the beginning of conflict.

Meditate before you released any word. If you don't wish someone to make unhealthy statement to you, dont also do it to another

What can we do to control our anger during an argument?

• Try to talk to yourself to calm your nerves. When there's an argument, and someone triggered the anger in you, call your name and advice yourself to calm down.
• Do not get closer to the person you are arguing with. When you get closer to the person you are arguing with, there's every tendency that it can result in a physical fight.
• Replace negative thoughts with more reasonable thought.
• An elderly person can be invited to solve the issue at hand by giving words of advice.
