For some reasons, I liked this picture which someone from my school group had shared. And, there was an incident which today morning, when I had a tiff with my partner.
We had a morning fight over a small thing. This left me with a foul mood. And she too took off in an even more different level. All these made me reflect on the writing on this pic.
After sometime, the earlier anger dissipated as there were things to worry about. But, at the time of fight, both of us were so angry that we couldn’t wait to burrt it out what came out without any reservations.
This kind of reactions are what we see in private and public spaces. Road rage, fights over petty things at home, outside home, fights over possessions, money, power, politics, ideology, strikes by parties based on some beliefs.
Coming to interpersonal fights, there’s another way to think out of a fight. I’m not sure, if it will really works. Here are ways to divert your mind from the agitated position and avoid knee-jerk reactions:
- Ask yourself – Is the argument worth your time?
- Focus the time on better things ( Just read a blog or watch something on YouTube or spend your time in your garden)
- In case, you are fighting to prove your point or share a suggestion or your opinion and the other person is not agreeing to it, then you can stop there. Also, if that person cutting you out without listening to you, think, think that you have better things to do and become in your life, rather than changing someone who is stuck in their world.
- If the argument is going out of hand, again, slam your brakes. Stop RED!. Try not to get carried by other person’s agitated or provocative remarks. ( saying is easy 🙂
