Conscious Conflict Resolution

How do you handle conflict in a relationship?

Conflict resolution may be easier if you understand its causes. For more clarity, let’s chunk it down.

Conflict, in this context, refers to a step beyond disagreement or misunderstanding.

Emotionally healthy people can usually agree to disagree without prolonged feelings of anger or resentment. They may reach a mutually agreeable compromise.

However, in cases where negative emotions continue to run high for an unreasonable length of time, it’s time to get conscious and creative. At the source of all negative emotions are false ego thoughts.

7 Keys to conscious conflict resolution

1. Blame it all on the false ego. Ego thoughts are lies that you believe to be true about yourself.
2. Develop the skill of anger management. Anger is simply a reaction to negative thinking that is self-limiting or self-destructive from your false ego. You are not broken, nor is your opponent in conflict. You are both trapped in a temporary downward spiraling ego trip. Dare to be the first to rise up and move beyond chaotic negative thinking and painful emotions.
3. Learn the principles of the universal Law of Attraction. Like attracts like unto itself. So, if you want more love, then be love. You can start with your partner in conflict – let go of your need to be right. It is definitely more rewarding to attract peace and joy into your life than to cling to negative energy which attracts more of itself to you.
4. Let go of beliefs and judgments about your opponent. What you see in him or her may be a reflection of what you don’t like about yourself.
5. Develop the habit of regular meditation. Meditation relaxes and heals the body and creates a loving energy field around you. Decide that your peace is more important than anything else.
6. Take nothing seriously. This is not a frivolous piece of advice. It has profound implications for you and for the planet. Consider the amount of negative energy that goes into taking things personally, getting angry, having the need to be right, stubbornly holding on to principles that serve no one.
7. Stay present. There is no fear in this present moment. There is no need for conflict resolution.

There is no greater joy than living from your heart – the source of unconditional love.
