Replaying an argument at 2 a.m. isn't reflection. It's rehearsal for the next one.
Here are 3 questions that turn the replay into something useful.
Grab your coffee and answer them honestly.
1. What do I do when conflict hits, and do I do it every time?
You go quiet, push back, or give in. Which one is yours?
2. What did I actually want from that argument?
You were so busy defending yourself that you lost the point.
3. Do I regret staying silent, or saying too much?
Your answer shows which habit costs you more.
Write your answers down. Patterns you can see are patterns you can change.
Your answers aren't random. They point to a conflict style, a pattern in how you handle friction that shows up at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Researchers describe five: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. Most of us lean hard on one or two without realizing it.
