More often than not Dear One, it is not the conflict itself that is the source of you pain, discomfort, anger, frustration, racing heart or sweaty palms.

It is your response to it.

It is your response that determines how you feel, what you think, the story that you tell, the flow of your energy, the focus of your attention, and as a result, the quality of the solutions that will present themselves to you/that you will take notice of.

Don’t dig in, tense up or pinch yourself off from well-being in fear, anger or self righteousness when facing a conflict.  Relax, be gentle, open up, trust, let go, and allow yourself to connect, allow your energy to rise up, not sink down, as you seek a resolution.

Choose your response consciously Dear One, with intention and an open heart, and you just might be surprised to discover the source of your conflict dissipating and the circumstances surrounding it rising up to meet you.

All we are asking is for you to try, for you to give it a shot.

After all, what have you got to lose?
