Hints for handling minor conflicts

Not all conflict is a major issue. Conflict is a normal part of life. Every day we have disagreements that might seem serious at the time but can usually be dealt with by some simple strategies like:

• Don’t bottle up your feelings – talk to a friend or someone whose advice you trust.
• Take time out – getting angry can escalate the problem. Relax by listening to some music or reading a book.
• Release your anger in positive ways – do something active like taking a walk to calm down.
• When you’ve calmed down – talk with the person you’ve been arguing with.
