How to Conquer Difficult People - Imagination Sometimes we have to use our imagination to address issues that come our way. The imagination can take us to a different level in thinking so that we can remove obstacles blocking our path to resolve. The creative side of the mind (right brain) helps us to diverse strategies so that we can push on to uncovering new ideas that may work to the best of our interest in conquering difficult people.
One of the best tools we can come up with by exploring the imagination is the ability to use non-defensive words as we listen to the entirety of the problem. For instance, a man and woman constantly yells and screams at each other, claiming the other never listens to what is said. This breaks down the relationship, since the chain of communications is broken. How can we build this relationship up so that break down of marriage doesn't take place?
First, both parties need to practice self-talk to remove the floods of negative thoughts out of the way. The two can look at the triggers and problem in full light by thinking and talking through the issues mentally. The two will also need to dispose of criticism and judgments so that everything becomes clearer. The thoughts then are regulated so that nothing internally can lead to larger problems.
Once the self-talk strategy starts the two can work toward listening what the other has to say. A good listener will make eye contact, reaffirm conversation, ask questions, and sit up straight while listening and so on.
Looking at an example of a bad situation could help you see more into the problem. All problems have resolves, providing the ideas are delivered effectively.
Example Wife: You never seem to listen to me while I am talking. I am sick and tired of you disrespecting me. Husband: Sitting in chair, slouching, nose in the paper: I listen to you; you just seem to want to talk while I am busy. Wife: You are always busy doing nothing, Husband: Oh, yea and I work all week to come home to listen to you complain about what I do and what I don't do. Wife: Oh me, forget you, I have better things to do than listen to you blame all your faults on me. Husband: My faults, what about your faults, huh? Wife walks away with nose in the air, as she says, "Uh,"
We have a problem that could lead to divorce, cheating, or some other bad situation. How can we change this situation to make it more mature and powerful while saving the couples relationship?
Consider: Wife: Honey, I feel sad. For some reason I need to feel closer to you, yet I feel sometimes you do not listen to me. Husband, sits up in the chair, looks wife in the eyes, "Well dear, I try to listen, sometimes I just want to relax after working all day. Wife: I know honey; maybe there is something we can do together so that we can feel closer. Husband: "Sounds like a plan dear, what do you have in mind." Wife: I'm sorry honey, my mind is clouded at the moment, and I know I need something, but I don't know what yet. Husband: "No problem honey, why don't I plan something for us?" Wife: Oh honey, I love you.
See how easy this could be. Endearing words, calm talks, and realizing that something is buried inside of you that are making the person feel empty inside could prove beneficial in conquering problems. Use your imagination!
