After (or during) a conflict, it's not always easy to make peace with yourself. Regardless of the outcome, it's important to make peace with it where possible. To do this, we recommend practicing acceptance, cultivating mindfulness, and protecting your well-being. Which technique for inner peace works best for you? Let us know in the comments. Follow us for weekly tips!

This Sage Sunday we take wisdom from author, activist, and lecturer Helen Keller who said, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” In a time where social media seeks to overwhelm us with suffering and it is hard to see the bright spots, her wisdom reminds us that just as there is suffering, there is also resilience, growth, and the triumph of the human spirit. How do you remember the good in the world? Let us know in the comments!

If you're on the East side of the Big Island and need help getting through the storm of a conflict, reach out to a case manager today! Mediation can make a big difference.

Have you ever been told you're "too defensive" when conflict strikes? That's okay, we all have defense mechanisms that pop up in an attempt to protect ourselves. 🛡 These are nothing to be ashamed of, but it helps to be aware of them because they are likely hindering us from resolving conflicts. Which mechanism is true for you? Let us know in the comments. Follow us for weekly tips!
