Personal Conflict Mitigation And Resolution

By Linda Ruiz


Personal conflicts arise in many forms. Some are more serious than others. Conflicts will arise from the long term choices you make and also the direct decisions you make daily. Solving them will mostly depend on your integrity and character too. Personal conflict mitigation and resolution is of great significance to your well-being.

To begin with, it is significant to establish the various sources of personal conflicts. First, the issue of taking responsibility takes a larger portion of conflicts. We have to decide whether we shall take responsibilities and consequences as well or not. Many of us also have challenges with ethics. Taking vengeance is another source. Most of us find it difficult to get back to persons who offended us.



You can also encounter conflicts when you want to make decisions that matter to you and might change your life. Group activities that might be seen as immoral can make you get into conflicts as you try to decide whether you will take part or not. You are likely to get obstructed by choosing not to engage. You should get an understanding of how to reduce and handle your personal conflicts. They can affect your health if you do not manage them in a good way.

It is advisable to write down feelings. This should be done in a journal and kept safe for privacy. In case of conflicts, an individual should create a personal time. This is the time to meditate and engage in an activity that one loves best. This helps to ease a person. An individual may for example take a walk in a quiet place listening to music.

We should also teach ourselves to respond to situations as opposed to reacting. This will help us avoid arguments. We must not always have the desire to win arguments at all times. A person can impact a lot by giving in at times. We ought to be good listeners too and let others express their feelings fully. We should also avoid drawing much attention towards ourselves by desisting from talking too much of ourselves. We must also manage emotional response. When need arises, we should see a counselor to help express emotions.

You should identify your personal conflict style which will aid you in improving those ways that you use when faced with hard situations. The styles are the behaviors that you portray when you are in difficult and involving situations. Competition is an example of the styles. This is your style in case you find yourself aggressive and defensive in times of conflict. You can use it when you want to make quick decisions.

Another one is collaboration. Here, you bring people together in search for a solution. You make everyone feel a winner by letting their views count. You encourage a lot of cooperation. As a result everyone is satisfied. The other one is avoidance. This is where you choose to avoid arguments because you do not have confidence.

Finally, accommodation style. This is where we put the need of others ahead of ours. By doing this we encourage cooperation. We also have to be ready to take orders from others. This is a style for peace with others.
