Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 41: Navigating Through Conflicts

Hello dear friends in this wonderful Steem4Nigeria community it is a pleasure to write again, once again in this community, and to day I am participating in this contest hosted by @steem4nigeria in this community.

How do you manage to stay calm during an argument?

Well some times what I need to remember is the Bible book of Psalms 37: 8 which says that " we should let go of anger and abandon rage" this scripture is very vital if we want to stay calm in an argument. Also cultivating the quality of mildness and self control helps me to be calm, with mildness comes selfcontrol because mildness is the quality that helps one not to respond harshly to another when quarrelling, while self- control is the quality that helps, to avoid escalating the argument to another level either by laying the first punch or so.

Why is it important to listen carefully during a disagreement?

It is important to listen carefully. because we may here the main reason why the argument started and try to make up with one another, but when we do not even give a time to listen the argument will continue going on without an end. Also listening can also help one to analyze when he or she is right or wrong about a particular argument which may be important to play a role in ending the argument. Listening is a key factor in resolving argument because everything just seems to become more clearer Instead of trying to gain attention to yourself.

How does understanding someone else's feelings help in resolving conflicts?

As I said before trying to listen and understand others feelings can enable us to know in detail how it happened and why it happened, through that you can in a calm way just apologize to the other person which just ends it all. And for kids that have some problems, we should try to have a calm voice when arguing with each other because;

1. Knowing that you are using a calm voice the other person may just think that it does not even affect you, because you take it in just like breeze.

2. At least it gives a peace of mind and heart knowing that you tried not using a harsh voice to reply, or not talking at all.

What can we do to control our anger during an argument?

As I said in the first question Self control and mildness are the main qualities that can help one control his or her anger when dealing with an argument. And one tip is that when arguing try to remember other good things that have happened before that moment to cheer you up emotionally. Also when arguing we should try and see the good in the person you argue with, what he or she has done for you earlier on, with that you will not be quick to take offense or to heart anything the person says.

Note: Arguments are disagreements between two or more people or localities.
