How to transform from self - neglect to self - respect
Why its worth listening to people you disagree with
Conflict with Respect
Disagreements happen, but how you handle them matters. Respect is the key to solving problems kindly.
A Bad Start
Imagine saying, “Why am I the only one cleaning here?”
It exaggerates.
It ignores what others do.
It sounds angry.
A Better Start
Try a "soft start" instead:
Say what’s bothering you politely.
Use “I” instead of “you.”
Focus on the issue, not the person.
Example: “I know you’ve been busy, but could you help with the kitchen?”
Stay Respectful
Don’t call names or bring up old fights.
Don’t threaten or act like it’s a game to win.
Talk honestly and kindly.
When you respect each other, you can fix problems without hurting feelings!
