What is your Next Step?
1. UNDERSTAND that Healthy relationships cannot exist without having hard conversations.
2. Set a DATE and time to meet when you will be able to talk without interruptions and are not tired.
3. Set BOUNDARIES for a respectful argument or discussion.
4. Keep statements focused on your own experience and avoid statements that blame the other person. Be SPECIFIC about one event rather than general statements. “This happened and it made me feel ...“
5. Make space for the other person to share without interruption. LISTEN.
6. Be HONEST. Be thoughtful about how you say it and what you say. Clarity is kindness.
7. Be AWARE of your personal triggers. This helps to explain behaviour but does not excuse behaviour.
8. DO IT now. Do not wait.
9. PRAY about how to process the conversation and outcomes.
10. IMPLEMENT action steps after the conversation.
