I just came across a really good list of 10 tips to keep the peace in your everyday life relationships with people, put together by Tom Roderick, Executive Director of Educators for Social Responsibility Metro.
The list goes as follows:
1. Slow down the action
2. Listen well
3. Give the other person the benefit of the doubt
4. Acknowledge the other person’s feelings
5. Be strong without being mean
6. Try to see a conflict as a problem to be solved
7. Set your sights on a “win-win” solution
8. If you don’t seem to be getting anywhere in solving a conflict, ask for help
9. Remember that conflict, handled well, can lead to personal growth and better relationships
10. The true heroes and heroes of today’s world are not the Rambos
