Marriage is a delicate dance between Datta and me.

It’s a dance of respect, busy schedules, deep friendship, intimacy, and yes – of disagreements.

No matter what type of relationship any of us are involved in: marriage, dating, co-workers, bosses or investors; arguments are going to be a natural part of it.

Tension can easily rise with discussions around money, sex, time or disappointments. As ego’s get triggered sometimes we can feel out of control and not present in the maturity of who we really are.

It’s been hard at times for me to know when to walk away and give myself a moment to breathe, and when to stay in my anger or frustration and express that fully. What I have experienced is that if I am not “centered” I am not able to communicate with compassion and honesty – for myself or the other person.

That’s why I want to share the 5 quick things I do when I am in an argument and want to stay honest but loving.

You can take these tips with you into all areas of your life: love, friendship and in the office environment.

Now, it’s your turn.

Which of these 5 things are you willing to put more attention on this week?

Feel free to share how you stay centered in an argument without reverting into a younger or crazier version of yourself.

Keep us posted on how these tips work for you this week and beyond.

Much love,
