Conflict is a natural response in nature, as well as in human nature. As author Jenny Landgren says, “Conflict shows me where I end and another person begins”. Viewing conflict from a place of healthy detachment is important. This is when conflict keeps us out of emotion and into facts. Without emotion, conflict is just a decision. Your thoughts, My thoughts, Our shared thoughts. Done or do it again. You might just agree to disagree, and that’s okay as well.
When conflict involves emotion - it shows us how much we care about something.
Jenny Landgren : “What comes up for me when I hear the phrase ‘conflict is normal’ is that it's not just normal, it's vital. It's vital for our development. If I never met anyone who thought differently than me, had different values or behaved differently, I wouldn't know myself. It is because of the people around me who are vastly different that I recognize I'm having a reaction to what someone is saying, sharing or doing. This helps me to realize where I end and the other person begins.
I'm vastly grateful for people who are so different from me because they help me figure out where I stand, who I am, and what I value.?
When I recognize that I'm in conflict with someone, it's revealing to me what I need and what I want. I value that insight and create some space in my day to reflect and understand my own needs. That's the new me.”
