People will treat you how you allow them to. If any of your colleagues, friends or loved ones continually mistreat you, it's likely because you're letting them. Others assume their behaviour is OK if you don't challenge or set boundaries. I realise that dealing with potential conflict can be incredibly difficult or even unsafe for some of us, primarily if we identify as a people-pleaser. However, the longer you allow bad behaviour to continue, the more acceptable you make it and the worse it will get. If you think someone is mistreating you, you must talk to them. It doesn't have to be an aggressive exchange (which tends to happen when we let things build up). Get clear about what you want to say and the outcome you want, and practise saying it aloud before having the actual conversation. When you visualise everything going perfectly, you'll be conditioning your nervous system for success. It’s important to remember that the people who argue and complain when you set boundaries typically have the most to lose.

'I'm too busy ignoring you' excuse : A classic🌝 They say the best defense is a good offense But what if the best offense is simply...nothing? We're often taught that the best way to deal with conflict is to fight back, to be assertive, to stand up for ourselves. But sometimes, the most effective way to respond to negativity is to do nothing at all. A smile silence and indifference can be powerful tools 💡 They show that you're not going to be dragged down by their negativity. They demonstrate that you're in control of your emotions, not them ✨ When you choose to remain calm and composed, 🌸You're sending a clear message:- "Your words and actions don't affect me."💗 This can be incredibly frustrating for those who thrive on drama or conflict. Remember, it's not about being weak or passive. It's about being strong enough to rise above negativity 🤧 It's about recognizing that your peace of mind is more important than any temporary discomfort. PS :- Choose peace over conflict. Choose strength over weakness 💪 It's your Linkedin Meet -Ashmeet Follow for more ❤️ LinkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating #SelfCare #PersonalGrowth #productivity #engagement #mindset #hr

Bottling emotions does nothing but make them erupt at inopportune times. Think about the person who overreacts, overcompensates, avoids crucial conversations, or drives people away. Somewhere, deep down, there is a feeling that they just don’t want to see and can’t deal with. It’s sad. Because if they had the courage to uncover what it is, they could relieve themselves of self-sabotage, resentment, self-loathing and the fatigue of having to protect themselves all the time. #ExecutiveCoach #executivepresence #angermanagement #relationships #relax #listeningskills #freedom

When Life Throws You Lemons, Make Zen Lemonade! 🍋 Conflict is the uninvited guest at every party, the rain on your parade, the... well, you get it. It's unavoidable in every aspect of life, and the well-being industry is no exception. But what if I told you that conflict, like those pesky lemons, could be transformed into something refreshing and beneficial? The Well-being Industry's Paradox We strive to create harmony, balance, and inner peace. Yet, we often find ourselves navigating choppy waters of disagreements, miscommunication, and clashing personalities. It's ironic, isn't it? Turning Conflict into Fuel Instead of dreading conflict, let's reframe it as a catalyst for growth. Here's how: ➡ Embrace the Discomfort: Conflict forces us to confront uncomfortable truths and challenge our assumptions. It's a chance to grow thicker skin and develop resilience. ➡ Seek Understanding: Instead of focusing on being right, strive to understand the other person's perspective. You might be surprised at what you discover. ➡ Find Common Ground: Even in the midst of conflict, there's usually some common ground to be found. Focus on shared goals and values to bridge the gap. ➡ Learn and Adapt: Every conflict is a learning opportunity. Analyze what went wrong, adjust your approach, and emerge stronger than before. A Personal Anecdote 🙎♂️ I once had a major disagreement with a colleague over a project direction. Tensions were high, and egos were bruised. But instead of letting the conflict fester, we took a step back, listened to each other's concerns, and eventually found a compromise that exceeded both our expectations. It wasn't easy, but it was definitely worth it. What's Your Conflict Resolution Style? 🥊🤝🗣️ Are you a fighter, a peacemaker, or a debater? Share your experiences in the comments below! ⬇️ #ConflictResolution #Wellbeing #PersonalGrowth #Mindfulness #Leadership Let's turn conflict into our greatest ally! 💪

Painful thoughts and emotions can be contagious. If one is in an environment where others who are sick mentally, physically or emotionally and unaware of their own thoughts, emotions or physical vitality they can be prone to the environments illnesses in the same or similar way to the individuals around them. Criticism is a contagious aberration. Physical Criticism! Why you so fat? Why can't you lose weight? Mental Criticism Why you so stupid? Do you even know how to read and write? Can you not get anything right! Emotional Critism Why you so soft? Are you girl? (to boys and men) Are you a cry baby? You emotionally unavailable! Energy Criticism We don't vibrate on the same energy! Why you so lazy? Get to my level of energy, then we can communicate! When Criticism is unresolved it moves onto the next phase in all relationships...Defensiveness. Do we know how to handle individuals who bully, blame, ridicule, belittle us? There is no communication from apathy downwards, for if there was communication there would resolution and problem solving (lateral thinking) happening. When we know how to handle individuals who critize us, then one doesn't move onto the next phase of defensiveness we move up the bridge to connection, collaboration, communication. #organisations #leadership #bridge #pain #emotion #solutions #business #wellbeing #apathy #criticism #defensiveness #contempt #relationships #marriage #learn #unlearn

Conflicts aren’t about the words exchanged—they’re about the feelings beneath them. In relationships, it’s easy to get caught up in the surface arguments and miss the deeper emotions fueling the tension. But when we pause, get curious, and ask the right questions, we create space for understanding, trust, and connection. Here are 10 powerful questions to transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection: 1️⃣ What are you really feeling right now? Shift the focus from blame to uncover the emotions driving the conflict. 2️⃣ What do you need in this moment to feel supported? Focus on unmet needs like reassurance, space, or connection. 3️⃣ How can I show up better for you? This question softens defensiveness and invites humility. 4️⃣ What’s the story you’re telling yourself about this situation? Uncover assumptions and misunderstandings. 5️⃣ Is there something I’ve done that hurt you? Courageously open the door for healing and repair. 6️⃣ What’s most important to you right now? Bring clarity to what truly matters. 7️⃣ Are we seeing the same issue? Ensure you’re addressing the same concern. 8️⃣ Can we pause and come back to this? Sometimes, taking a break helps you return with clarity and calmness. 9️⃣ What can we learn from this? Shift the focus from blame to growth. 🔟 How can we move forward as a team? End with a reminder that you’re on the same side. Conflict isn’t something to fear—it’s a doorway to deeper understanding. When approached with compassion and curiosity, even tough moments can bring you closer together. What’s one question here you’d like to practice in your relationships? Let’s hear it! #ConflictResolution #EmotionalIntelligence #RelationshipGrowth #ConsciousCommunication #HealthyRelationships #CoupleGoals #LoveAndGrowth #TeamMindset

Debating with someone who refuses to listen is like trying to tame a storm – exhausting and futile. Save your energy for those who value constructive dialogue. Some people are experts at being wrong, yet refuse to admit it. Don't waste your time trying to convince them; focus on surrounding yourself with people who uplift and inspire. 🙏 You can't fix everyone, and you shouldn't try. Invest in relationships that nourish your mind and soul, and gracefully exit conversations that drain your energy. Engaging with toxic individuals can be a slippery slope. Prioritize self-care, set boundaries, and remember that you can't pour from an empty cup. Choose your battles wisely, and don't let someone else's negativity dictate your emotions. You're worthy of respect, kindness, and meaningful connections. 😇 #success #leadership #creativity #empathy #futurism #motivation #inspiration #mentalhealth #personaldevelopment
