Being in conflict can take a lot out of us. Often, in the aftermath, sad and unresolved feelings preoccupy us and linger. We wished we had been kinder, more assertive, or that we were more willing to listen to things that felt hurtful – even when they were meant to be helpful. At these times we don’t always accept the fact that we can’t take back what we said or did. We can, however, embrace the human being we are – the one who sometimes crosses a line and has some learning to do.
What are you embracing about you in the aftermath of a conflict?
