Conflict Prevention/Resolution Guidelines

December 20, 2011
By

1. Put the vibes first.
Do a vibe check on yourself and get to a grounded and centered place before speaking

2. Drop your ego.
Clarify in your mind what your issue is. Separate out your ego so that you can
listen empathically to what someone else is saying.

3. Assume the other person’s good will.
For example, if you’re uncool with something someone did or said, don’t  approach them with a “wtf” attitude. Come from a heart felt place of trying to understand. Find your common ground and discuss from there.

4. Keep your sense of humor.

5. Be compassionate.

6. Solve a problem at the lowest common denominator.
Before you call someone out publicly, speak to him or her one on one. Involve other people if you need to vibe check yourself first. If you can’t settle it one on one, involve another person(s) with whom you both feel comfortable.

7. Be an easy copper.
We all blow it sometimes, so be graceful when busted.

8. Don’t hold on people. Don’t build subconscious.
If someone has upset you resolve it. Once it’s resolved let it go. Don’t build up  baggage with each other. This will keep us from getting into action/reaction loops which prevent us from moving forward.

9. There is always room for improvement.
We are learning and growing. Each of us can improve ourselves through this  process and thereby strengthen and grow our community.

10. When interacting with each other or planning any kind of action ask yourself, “What  is the teaching?”
What is our greater purpose? Speak from our highest self. Keep the whole  picture in mind. Don’t get bogged down in our own square inch of perception.

11. Where you put your attention is what you make manifest.

12. Re-read steps 1-11 before hitting enter.
