1. Always pause — When a conflict arises, avoid lashing out. Take a moment to breathe slowly and notice the air coming into and going out of your lungs and belly. Allow the simple act of focusing on your breath to ground you in the present moment.
2. Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling — Pay attention to your thoughts and emotions. Is your mind racing with angry thoughts? Do you feel hurt or embarrassed? Just notice these. Thoughts and emotions are natural. They will settle if you don’t react to them.
3. Do a brief — Notice the physical sensations that arise with your thoughts and emotions. Are you clenching your jaw? Are you tightening your fists, ready to hit something? Are your leg muscles twitching, urging you to flee? Notice any muscle tension from your toes to the top of your head.
4. Settle into your breath — As you breathe, you will notice a pause at the end of each out breath before you breathe in again. During this pause, relax, and soften your muscles. Keep doing this for a few minutes, relaxing deeper and deeper into each pause.
5. Acknowledge that you have space to choose — Accept that you are upset and don’t fight it. You could even say aloud, “I am upset.” Choose to be patient with yourself. If, however, your emotions feel too strong to investigate, acknowledge your difficulty and move away from the troubling situation. You can choose to return to the issue when you are calmer.
6. Challenge your assumptions — Be open-minded to the views of others involved in the conflict. Don’t assume you know where people’s ideas come from or how other people are feeling. Challenge yourself to ask open-ended questions so that you can truly understand their perspective.
7. Avoid negative speech — Name-calling is never helpful. Instead, explain your point of view clearly and acknowledge the viewpoints of others.
8. Suggest a resolution — Stick to the point of the conflict and suggest one or more ways to resolve it. Calmly discuss the pros and cons of each suggestion.
9. Move forward — Agree to try a resolution without resentment. And when you move forward with a suggestion, give it your full effort.
10. Forgive —Holding onto anger and resentment only hurts us and burdens relationships. Forgive yourself and others for being different and having an argument, and accept the idea that by learning to resolve conflict, we grow as people.

A Little More About Our Guest

Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman could not have felt farther from being a New Power Couple when they first met. Not only did Aaron attempt to end things with Jocelyn early on, but he also owned books about lifelong singlehood. Meanwhile, Jocelyn was caught in a pattern of dating certain men over and over. However, using the principles they share in their book and programs, Aaron and Jocelyn evolved together, diving into personal and spiritual development. The couple shifted their life trajectory from climbing the corporate ladder as a nurse and engineer to being social entrepreneurs, speakers, business and healthy lifestyle coaches, startup investors, and authors. This book is one step in their journey to do just that and ignite thriving relationships, which they believe will ultimately lower the divorce rate. Learn more at www.meetthefreemans.com

Luke Storey, a former Hollywood Celebrity Fashion Stylist, has spent the past twenty-one years developing and refining the ultimate lifestyle, based on the most powerful principles of health and spirituality, while at the same time embracing the technology and modern conveniences of urban living.

I chatted with Luke about how he used himself as a human research lab to explore a broad and sometimes extreme variety of measures to obtain optimal health, performance, and well-being.

I’m so excited to have Ethan on the show again to talk about all the ways this his book, The Dharma of The Princess Bride, relates to how we live our lives. Our conversation touches on transparency, the Trump era, and technology. Ethan is one of my favorite people and I’m so grateful he’s shared his thoughts with us.
