How can you use gratitude to manage conflict?

Before delving into conflict resolution, I adopt the observer method, a crucial approach applicable in any conflict scenario. By assuming the role of an observer or detaching ourselves from the conflict, we gain a broader perspective, allowing us to discern the root cause more clearly. Try it. Picture yourself stepping out of your shoes, barefoot, standing at the water's edge of a tranquil beach. As the cool water embraces your feet, it soothes your judgments and diminishes the urge to dominate or control. The conflict, like a distant storm at sea, appears remote and manageable. In this state of detached calmness, we regain control of ourselves and become poised to navigate the conflict constructively.

If you do not see yourself as the part of the problem, then that indeed is a problem. If you are staying outside and circle and expecting others to change, that brings conflict. Here is a simple exercise to create Gratitude -Think of this other person as not present in your life -identify what you may have to do, stretch and alter if this person is not there -Look at what this person brings to your existing life Sure some habits are not pleasant but if the person were to go away, what would life be like? This can bring fresh appreciation for the person and gratitude. Let that inch you towards separating the current conflict and overall angst.

Once we've embraced the broader perspective and achieved a state of emotional coolness, the next pivotal step in accelerating conflict resolution is to cultivate feelings of gratitude or appreciation towards the other party involved. To feel grateful towards someone, we can reflect on their positive qualities, acknowledge their perspective, and recognize their contributions to the situation, fostering empathy and understanding. Amidst conflict and heated emotions, our tendency is to harshly judge others. However, viewing the individual through a positive lens and fostering a sense of gratitude towards them can effectively dissolve the conflict.

I've come to realize that gratitude transcends boundaries of time and space. It's a bridge that spans continents, cultures, and generations, forging bonds of empathy and understanding. In a world marred by division and discord, expressing gratitude becomes an antidote to apathy and indifference—a beacon of hope that unites hearts across oceans and continents. At times, expressing gratitude requires courage—the courage to be vulnerable, to lay bare the depths of our emotions, and to embrace the inherent beauty of human connection. It's a journey of authenticity—an invitation to step into the arena of vulnerability and share our truths with unwavering sincerity.

A simple yet powerful way to offer a heartfelt thank-you, is to be specific and mention the impact their actions had on you. Additionally, a handwritten note goes a long way, as it shows you've taken the time to express your gratitude in a tangible form. Another meaningful approach is to express gratitude through actions, whether it's lending a helping hand, sharing a small gift, or simply spending quality time with the person you appreciate. Verbalizing your gratitude in person adds a personal touch, allowing the sincerity of your words to be felt. Ultimately, the key is authenticity – expressing gratitude in a way that aligns with your genuine feelings and strengthens the connection between you and the person you are thanking.

Sometimes express gratitude without an agenda of negotiation or discussion. Just plain gratitude of how much you value the other is there. Share the Gratitude and leave it with the soft edge. If each time an expression of Gratitude follows negotiations or requests to conflict management, it loses its softness. It then appears like a commodity or means to get something. Gratitude expressed without agenda strengthens relationships. Practice it without a follow up request!
