And while it’s certainly unrealistic to think that everything will be perfect 100 percent of the time, tough times don’t necessarily mean the end of the road, either. Yes, you may have the occasional personality conflict with one another or a disagreement. The key is to remain grounded and not get caught up in negativity that will deplete you of the time and energy that’s necessary for you to be the best you can be.

With a little discipline, redirecting this energy into a more positive place is easier than most of us realize. We must take control over the situation before it controls us. And Reality-Based mind-set affords us the opportunity to personalize a situation and letting it get the best of us is a luxury we can’t afford. In times of conflict, our relationships needs siStars who will step up and redirect the energy, helping each other to see the circumstances differently so we can have stronger relationships and better results. Here are five ways we can help build the bonds of sistahood in order to achieve a more positive outlook:

1. Do a Reality Check

Our story, not our reality, is what really causes us stress in challenging times. We assign motive and speculate until the story is re-written in our favor, painting us as the helpless victims. Ditch the story and get back to the facts of the situation. Think about the next action you and/or your sista's could take in the situation that would add the most value and see it through to fruition.

2. Get Clear About Motives

If conflict is brewing, avoid the temptation to abandon or ignore organizational goals in order to achieve personal motives or goals - such as love, appreciation and recognition. Strive to be successful instead of right and you will achieve the goals at hand.

3. Be the Change
That which is missing from the situation is that which you are not contributing. Exhibit the qualities and virtues you want to see come out of your bonds with one another during difficult times, such as open-mindedness, patience and tolerance. How can other act on your recommendations if you can’t do the same?

4. See Others Through a Lens of Love and Respect - Not Anger and Fear

Strive to see past others’ personality quirks and try to identify what they are trying to achieve or communicate. Determine how you can help them achieve it and take action.

5. Invoke a Clearer, Higher Perspective

When you sense that a situation is getting confrontational or personal, keep it healthy and redirect back to the goal at hand. Keep the dialogue on track and do all we can contribute to it. How can we solve the problem together or take advantage of potential opportunities? Encourage one another to rise above the noise and push each other toward greatness. When we stop judging and start helping, anything is possible.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/11969214Sat, 27 May 2017 12:36:42 +0000S.W.A.TWhen we hit rocky patches in life, it’s easy to let our minds and actions spiral out of control, resulting in a whirlwind of negativity.
