Remaining calm is ART: Here are 5 wise strategies

Knowing others implies wisdom, but knowing oneself is a real enlightenment. But why should you know yourself to debate effectively?

To avoid losing peace, we must work on our internal strength, our security, and our self - esteem.

If someone tells you that you are disabled or have an immense ego, such statements should not harm you in any way because you know yourselves well.

What is not true, then, cannot and should not hurt you.

To triumph in one discussion, it is best to know the other person's weaknesses. Knowing, for example, that those before us have low self - confidence or that they transform uncertainty into aggression, we will be more relaxed, safer in ourselves.

Knowing and being able to connect to ourselves and those before us gives us more control over the situation.

2. In any debate, turn off negative emotions

To remain calm during a debate, you must learn to control your negative emotions. Anger, pride, anger, betrayal, nervousness... are all emotions that protect us and move us to attack the other person.

A debate is the main reason why you often lose control, stop arguing logically, and fall into sterile reproofs and dialogues that lead nowhere.

To take the reins of the situation, do so:

* Look at the situation from the outside, quiet.

Nothing can harm you from there, you're good with yourself, you're embraced by your self-esteem.

* Now consider what topics you can use to clarify the situation.

3. Do not respond immediately, take some time

In sterile discussions, conversationators are not heard among themselves, questions overlap with answers, and after some time toxic comments, un constructive criticisms, and phrases that we may later regret.

What's the point? Of course for nothing.

• To shape a fruitful discussion in which we can always remain calm is advisable to take time to respond. There's no rush.

• Listen carefully to what the other person says. Analyze it.

• Adjust the effect it can have on you and then think about an answer.

Remember, though: This answer should not increase tension.

If you see that the discussion is not going anywhere and it only serves to reprove and be possessed by negative emotions, stop it.

Remember, there are discussions that don't even deserve to be addressed.

4. Take a deep breath

When we are on alert, our brain interprets it almost as a threat.

It is then that certain reactions occur - vibrations, difficult breathing, dry mouth, stomach pain, and so on.

To avoid becoming calm during a debate, there is nothing better than breathing.

To do this, you will need to breathe deeply and breathe easily. A more relaxed body reasons better.

5. Train with inner calm: Prepare for the Daily Challenges of Life

Our daily life requires much: knowing how to debate effectively, facing disappointment, criticism, and calamities of all sorts

Being prepared “inside” will help us better address external challenges. To do this, we greatly contribute to the practice of the following activities:

• Practicing “mindfulness”.

• Practice some sports.

• Relief of our emotions through artistic activity: writing, painting, and so on.

• Cultivating internal units: improving self-confidence, self-esteem.

• Practicing active and secure dialogue, boosting vocabulary, establishing strategies for use in any dialogue and allowing for more confidence, more relaxed.

Put such simple counsel into practice. Be assured that the next time you argue with someone, you will face the situation effectively and with competence.
