By definition, conflict is a disagreement between people with opposing opinions or principles. Most of the time the perspectives of each of the parties are very different with each side believing theirs is the ‘truth’ making it difficult for conflicting sides to exist together.
If you have ever experienced conflict, you will know that there is a huge emotional and financial burden involved. Taking into account the stress alone, diminishes productivity and takes a toll on individuals personally both physically and emotionally.
If you’ve been in a long term relationship, you could feel like you are in a ‘rut’ – life together seems a little stale, the spark has gone and you wonder where the person you fell in love with has gone. The good news is…
Having good relationships with others whether they be neighbours, work colleagues, family, friends, friends of friends – in other words people – helps make life more productive and happy.
