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..

Mastering Inner Conflict

Coach Seth sits down with Producer and Research Specialist Brandon to discuss the first part of a 6 lesson series on conflict. The secret to you repairing your relationship with yourself is to master inner conflict. Who you are is your identity, which is broken into your self-image (how you feel about yourself) and your self-concept (the picture or image you have of yourself). Your self-concept is broken into two parts, your ideal self and your feared self. Choosing your feared self creates inner conflict. When we choose not to be a person of integrity, we struggle with inner conflict because we know we aren’t behaving as the person we want to be. Every time you make a choice to live as your ideal self, you reaffirm your identity and you reaffirm your self-image. You don’t have to have constant inner conflict. You can rebuild your confidence and you can make a daily choice to be a person who lives with integrity.
