Like boxing one has to learn fighting and arguing

psyche_learn_fighting

We all dislike fighting and arguing with other people, co-workers and loved ones. But it’s a necessary part of life.

Most people are stressed out by fights and anger. But like boxing it is a skill that can be learned to reduce the stress and not to waste too much energy. It’s not about anger management, but dealing with stress during a confrontation, making proper arguments, understanding the  physical effects of stress and anger on your body and mind … and getting out of your own “hot head”.

By developing a “conflict culture” and getting to know yourself in hot situations is a benefit to yourself and everybody else. You still can be mad, passionate and intense about your opinions, but you learn how to focus and use your power in a good way to make your point of view clear.

A good fight / argument can be highly stimulation and refreshing - it doesn’t need to be a total disaster for everybody.

A nice bath is a great way to relax and enjoyed by almost anyone. It once more shows that body and mind are influenced by each other - a hot bath releases muscle tension as well as mental stress.
