How Do We Resolve Conflict?

Coach Seth and Mia are joined by Producer and Research Specialist Brandon to discuss the final part of a 6 lesson series on conflict.How do we resolve conflict? Coach Seth explains that you can make a pre-choice choice in conflict to show respect and restore peace. It sounds like an easy concept, but it’s hard because before you’re in the conflict, it requires you to make the choice to handle the conflict with respect. When we go off on someone, our adrenaline might be pumping, the crowd may be cheering us on, we might feel amazing and powerful, but when the crowd leaves and we’re left alone, we are embarrassed, we feel ashamed and our peace is gone because we know we’ve hurt someone.

Restoring Your Relationship with Your Parents

Coach Seth and Mia are joined by Producer and Research Specialist Brandon to discuss the next part of a 6 lesson series on conflict.During their adolescent years, many teenagers may want to stay as far away from their caregivers as possible. Coach Seth points out that even as children get older, the adults in their life still play a key role in guiding and supporting them towards a Five Star Life.The level of your relationship with your parents is determined by the level of your respect and ability to see life from their perspective. The key to restoring your relationships with your caregivers is living by the value of sacrifice. If you want a better relationship with your parents, more support, and to stop feeling rejected, frustrated, or irritated, you have to sacrifice your limited perspective and put yourself in your parent’s shoes.

Having Integrity Gives You Power

Coach Seth and Mia are joined by Producer and Research Specialist Brandon to discuss the next part of a 6 lesson series on conflict. Why are people mean on purpose? The answer: justification. This is where most people struggle with conflict because they match energy. If someone is nice to us, we will be nice back. If someone is mean to us, we will be mean back. People who are mean on purpose are often trying to bait you. They have no power or control over you, unless you give it to them. If you don’t give them the power to be mean, they move on. In order to restore your power and live a Five Star life, you have to live by integrity. Coach Seth encourages listeners to have the strength not to take the bait and walk away.

Refuse to Be Offended

Coach Seth and Mia are joined by Producer and Research Specialist Brandon to discuss the next part of a 6 lesson series on conflict. Do you know the secret to dealing with conflict? Refuse to be offended. We cannot control other people and how they treat us. Don’t let the bad experiences, or bad feelings, stick to you and stay with you throughout your day. That pent up anger is toxic. You have the choice to refuse to be offended and to leave the negativity behind without taking it with you. So many conflicts can be completely avoided if we choose to sacrifice our right to be offended because what we gain is peace and power, which is a game changer and next-level living..
