Conflict and Change: Mastering Emotional Energy
Overview
The start of a new year often inspires thoughts of change, rejuvenation, and setting goals to enhance our lives. It is a time when many of us resolve to improve our relationships, but following through on these resolutions can be challenging.The Challenge of Change
There is a significant difference between wanting to change and actually doing it. It's easy to envision the person we want to become, but shifting our behavior, especially in stressful situations, is far more complicated. Many of us can relate to handling conflict in ways we later regret, despite our best intentions.Breaking Habitual Patterns
Is it possible to change our ingrained responses? Absolutely. The moment we become aware of our desire to change, we initiate the transformation process. By learning new skills and practicing them over time, we can establish new habits. Real change happens when these new behaviors become automatic responses.Emotional Intelligence and Awareness
A crucial aspect of emotional intelligence is recognizing and managing our emotional energy. One effective mind-body technique to enhance awareness and choice is centering. But what does being "centered" truly mean?Understanding Centering
Every object, including our bodies, has a center of gravity, which for humans is about two inches below the navel. This point is not only a physical balance spot but an emotional one. By breathing deeply and focusing on this center, we can regain calmness and focus, boosting our confidence and control.Transforming Conflict Through Centering
When practiced consistently, centering can revolutionize how we handle conflict. Instead of reverting to old patterns, we can respond in ways that reflect who we are today. Conflict then becomes an opportunity to adapt, learn, and grow.Practical Steps to Centering
Center Now
Train yourself to center by standing in a relaxed posture and directing your body weight towards your physical center. Breathe deeply into this point and exhale from it. This practice can make you feel more composed and in command of yourself, both physically and emotionally.Start Your Day Centered
Begin your morning with activities that promote centering, such as physical exercise, deep breathing, meditation, or quiet reflection. Establishing a routine makes it easier to return to a centered state as the day progresses.Create Triggers
Use objects, behaviors, or reminders to prompt you to re-center throughout the day. Surround yourself with inspiring quotes, keep a book of affirmations nearby, or display a meaningful photo. Listening to calming music during your commute can also be a trigger. Let daily tasks, like opening your office door, serve as reminders to find your center.Continuous Improvement
Remember, awareness is a skill that can always be enhanced. By learning and practicing new techniques, we can transform not just how we handle conflict, but how we live our lives. Here's to growth and positive change!?" Judy Ringer, Power & Presence Training
