Understanding how to respond to unpleasant situations

March 31, 2016

Who we are and how we think generally informs our reactions to various complex situations in life. Your responses to any given situation, whether in business or personal life, often dictate unpleasant outcomes.

Rather than taking our time and responding in a professional, polite manner, we spend most of our lives reacting. We become accustomed to this kind of recognition in every situation we encounter. We often neglect to pause and reflect before responding to any personal remarks directed towards us.

How many times have you found yourself in this type of environment, whether it's a text, email, or a face-to-face confrontation? Instead of taking a deep breath, we respond with a text, email, or reply to the person we are conversing with. I acknowledge that I have made mistakes on numerous occasions. We all have been.

So how do we change our approach when facing confrontation? The first thing you should do is take a deep breath and allow your mind to calm down before you react to the irritating statement. Pause your thoughts and reflect on the words spoken or the information you've read. You might need to practice this several times until you feel comfortable with how you're starting to react now to the rude words; that would usually trigger a reply without thinking.

When dealing face-to-face with a hostile disagreement, you should just look at the person and watch how they react. Sometimes they will calm down, providing time for you to analyze the statement that agitated you. Now you can calmly reply to the remark with the smartest, most compassionate response possible. Sometimes the smartest thing to do is leave a bad situation. Some remarks are not worthy of a reply.

By changing your words, you will create positive and productive results.

I have put together this slideshow to help you learn how to react with the correct choice of words. Therefore, the next time you encounter a perplexing situation, you will be more equipped to manage any complex dispute, whether via text, phone, email, or in person. You will be in total control and utterly amazed with your performance.

All the Best,

My simple goal is motivating people to reach their best potential. Recently, I authored an eight-part email marketing series that guides companies in crafting successful emails for their clients. Understanding these doable and effective techniques helps one to effectively find a niche market for their advertising efforts. Only network marketing defines effectiveness. I made a decent living working for the same company for eleven years before it went out of business. As they say, network marketing brings every significant advantage to an end. I have assisted numerous individuals in this field in achieving success. My other passion is what I have dedicated most of my life to. Providing quality work to my clients is a continuous learning process; you become better at what you enjoy doing. Life is brief; each day presents new opportunities and adventures. What is now reality will soon turn into a mystery, either becoming our history or fading away. The objective is to engage in strategic play, improving upon yesterday's performance. Adhere to that principle, and you can achieve any aspiration. Proceed with the action.
