Neutralize conflict in a relationship

from 8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go by Jay Shetty

How to Apply This

  1. Identify the energy of the argument.
    Take a step back and assess the situation. Identify the type of energy that's fueling the argument - is it based on ignorance, passion, or goodness?
  2. Purify the ego.
    Put aside any personal biases or desire to "win" the argument. Instead, approach the situation with the goal of understanding each other and finding a solution that works for both partners.
  3. Approach the situation with love and teamwork.
    Act with love towards your partner and work together as a team to find a solution that works for both of you.
  4. Take a break and bring awareness to the conflict when necessary.
    When emotions are high, it can be helpful to take a break and bring awareness to the conflict. Take some time to focus on something other than the disagreement, and ask for guidance if needed.
  5. Come to a mutual agreement on how to move forward.
    Discuss and agree upon changes that both parties can make to avoid similar conflicts in the future. It's important that both partners feel satisfied with the outcome and that the changes are mutually agreed upon.
