COMMUNICATION IS A BRIDGE

Communication is a Bridge

When attack happens and separation occurs,
you can bridge it only by communicating
in a non-hostile way.

That is hard to do when you are triggered.
Usually you need to take the time
to understand and own the trigger
before you can make peace with the person
who triggered you.

CLEARING THE AIR

Clearing the Air

Do not go to sleep angry with the people you love. 

Do not let the sun rise or set without making peace.

Nurture your relationships. Be ready to repudiate
thoughts and feelings that can only injure and separate.

Each day, negative thoughts and feelings must be cleared.
Find ways to soften and forgive when you feel angry or hurt.
Admit that you went into fear. Surrender your need
to be right and to make the other person wrong.
