COPING WITH CONFLICT
An intensive, self-help conflict resolution exercise designed for
all types of relationships, guiding you from anger to peace, from despair to action, from outrage to insight.
Your strenghths and weaknesses are part of you, to develop or diminish as you see fit.
They are nobody's business but yours.
You have to sort out whether you can handle someone else judging you good or bad, right or wrong, and putting you down in order to build themselves up.
If you have done nothing to provoke the offender, and truthfully have not contributed towards the conflict, then it would appear to be something about you, your intrinsic self, that the other party can't handle. It's their problem, not yours.
Take a final check of your Feelings before making a decision to truly accept the situation and handle it, or to cut ties, move on and Let Go.
When you accept an imperfect situation, here are some things you must consider:
I am prepared to accept my role in this conflict and the possibility that for someone else the problem I complained about might NOT be as natural a part of relating to others as it is for me.
I believe I have learned the lesson that this conflict presented to me.
I am prepared to stay in my current situation and I choose not to be bothered by the behavior of the person or persons I have been in conflict with
I accept that if I continue to attract disappointment and establish a pattern, I am prepared to accept that my values are far higher or very much different from that of the average person's and that I should take extra care regarding those around me.
I accept that my strengths and weaknesses are such that they tend to attract those who may envy or despise me.
I take full responsibility for my life.
Good luck!
