How can you better manage conflict through active listening?
Active listening will allow you to pull back and actually just step back almost as if you're looking outside in at the situation and see it for what it is. Taking ownership, paying attention to your contribution to that conflict will help you to curb your behaviour. Don't allow it to disrupt your peace and don't allow it to disrupt your relationships. Take control.
How can you better manage conflict through learning when to walk away?
One thing I would highly recommend is learning when to walk away. Are you arguing because you feel you need to prove the point? Are you arguing because you have to be right? What are you even arguing about? Taking the moment to walk away and breathe and bring yourself back to a calm state will allow you to handle the conflict with a clear head.
How can you better manage conflict through owning your role?
Are you blaming the other party? This is also very common. Are you taking responsibility for your contribution to that argument or repetitive argument? You also want to ask yourself in a disagreement, is it a fact or is it a opinion? Do you have all the facts? Is it a story you've created in your head? There's so much that goes into why conflicts happen, especially the ones that happen repetitively. So I ask you, I actually encourage you to take a moment and think about some of the big arguments you've had in your life, and I want you to compare that. Compare the themes. Did you always feel you needed to prove your point? Did you allow the other person to speak?
