Self-Reflection Points

• Choose wisely. Some issues will resolve themselves while others will only be resolved when addressed. 

• Be mindful and think before you talk or act. Some emotions may need to settle down before addressing a situation.  

• If someone is insistent on continuing with the conflict even after it has been fully addressed, you can choose to revisit the issue or get a mediator involved or, take your leave. It's your time and energy.

• If the other person clearly still has an issue and may become aggressive. You may need to get the authorities involved.  Remember, It's up to you, no one has a right to harm you or make you feel afraid. 

• Get advice from a positive support person. Remember negative people will always lean toward negative advice.

• If you are not ready or able to address a conflict, let them know you need more time before you answer. Not responding can be misunderstood and can cause additional concerns.
