Not everything in life has to be a battle. When faced with difficult people or situations, know that “calm” is your secret weapon. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and respond with a clear mind. Remember, your roar doesn’t always need to be loud in order to make an impact. That said, you’re also being encouraged to practise empathy as you move through the day. Try to understand where the other person is coming from, even if you don’t agree with them. Sometimes, people act out because they’re dealing with their own set of trials and tribulations. Showing a bit of compassion can defuse tension and open the door to more productive conversations.
Cosmic tip: Bring the gift of empathy into the dynamic.
