lyrics

Repeat these words after me:

I am restless and disaffected.

I am agitated and discontent.

How many times a day do you stop and think through your feelings?

There are times when we become emotionally exhausted. Unable to connect.

It helps to try and spell it out. Just say the words:

I am angry and disgruntled.

Maybe you've been hiding from this fact, haven't yet expressed it verbally, but anger is guaranteed to exist. And it is a seed that begets stress and destroys relationships.

Have you experienced a conflict today? Perhaps you have a difficult relationship with a coworker. It could be a romantic situation, a family member. Or, sometimes you experience slights with complete strangers.

Did you disguise your feelings, or did you express them?

Was it a win/lose situation? A compromise? Maybe it's something you just wanted to avoid entirely, or that you continue to hide from.

Solving a problem is the responsibility of everyone involved. A process of collaborative learning and self development, it promotes positive community building and overall productivity.

Let's visualize the other side of the story, clarify the problem a bit.

Can you acknowledge your differences using non-judgmental language?

Just say it out loud-- what does the other side want?
Be respectful.

Has one side, more than the other, expressed interest in being accommodating? Or, has one side given more than the other, given too much.

Is there a common goal between you?

Say these words after me:
I can be a change agent for good.
I am a change agent for good.
