7 Ways To Resolve ANY Conflict

By: Pragito Dove

Many of us dread conflict. We wish we could all “just get along.”

Life, however, has other ideas for us. Everyone is here to be ourselves and have our own opinions, likes, and dislikes. etc. How boring things would be if we all agreed on everything all the time. Where would our creativity be needed?

The exciting thing about conflict is that it forces us to expand into a greater creative expression of ourselves. Good things have happened whenever I have found the courage to call someone to task and discuss our conflicting opinions. It doesn’t mean I always get my way, but I put myself in a position to express my opinion, speak my truth, and listen to their side. Then I have a CHOICE: find an agreement or leave the relationship/situation. And, importantly, I feel good about myself that I have made every effort to find a resolution.

If we don’t speak up, we are sitting on an energy of resentment, fear, or frustration, which can lead, later on, to unconscious expressions of that same energy, which will probably not have good outcomes.

Conflict is not inevitable. People create conflicts, and people can choose to end them. This cannot happen if the parties are set on victory instead of compromising or prioritizing self-centered interest over the highest good of everyone concerned.

Conflict can be resolved when the willingness to be available for discussion exists. If conflict is rooted in an ‘us’ and ‘them’ or ‘me’ and ‘you’ approach, then peace-building is precisely the opposite. We have to get past the adversarial mindset and involve everyone concerned in addressing the common challenges, listening to other points of view, and seeing where we can meet, emphasizing what we DO agree on and not what we don’t agree on.

When we focus on what we all want and not on what we don’t want, there is a higher possibility of success.

Our personal histories are all, in one way or another, shaped by the legacies of conflict. But as profound and deep-rooted as our differences may be, it is in our power to redefine those legacies and, in so doing, redefine ourselves. Wherever we live, we must recognize that ‘peace’ is not something you can win; it has to be built and shared.

Here are 7 suggestions for conflict resolution…

Candida, what is it?  Why is it? and what to do about it.

By: Sheila Stirling, PhD

Why is it that more and more people seem to be having symptoms in the summer? How do you know it’s candida and what can be done about it? What is it anyway?

Yes, there are a lot of questions on this subject so let’s dive right in and offer not only answers but some solutions as well. 

First, let me premise this by letting you know that we all carry bacteria and yeast in our bodies and that is normal believe it or not. We are a miraculous species and our bodies were designed to heal themselves… so what happens to activate this condition and why?

What is called a “Yeast Infection” is simply an overgrowth of yeast in the body. When this happens it is then considered a “yeast infection”.

Please allow me to introduce myself so you know I am coming from a fact and science-based information.

I have been in the alternative medical industry for over two decades. With a PhD in Natural Health and being a certified microscopist (That is live blood analysis) and actually, literally wrote the book “Anatomy of Healing and Wellness” Being a blood specialist and a functional nutritionist has given me a deep and keen insight into this pesky challenge.  I am also a certified lymphologist and this gives me a well-rounded view.  I am a diabetic specialist and let me tell you that the more glucose in your blood the more yeast and the more likely you will be having symptoms  that may include:

• Itchy skin or a rash
• Blisters 
• White patches on your skin that may feel lumpy
• Pain or soreness (not feeling well)
• Burning especially in the vaginal area
• Discharge
• When you have excessive yeast it sometimes shows up in the mouth as Thrush   
• And yes yeast on the toenails is an overgrowth of yeast

Even Google agrees with me!

Let me start by asking you a few questions…

Mindful Eating

By: Karen Mayo

What keeps men up at night? Are they seeking more energy, better sleep, reduced stress, and an improved sex life? How about all of the above? These desires are all connected and can all be enhanced through proper nutrition.

A healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, and lean meats is crucial for men’s overall health and performance in bed. Enhancing blood flow and circulation is vital to achieving these benefits.

Low blood flow in the brain, heart, or libido affects all these areas. If there’s an issue in one area, it often indicates low flow in other areas. Knowing what to eat to support brain health is very important. Proper nutrition can improve relationships and overall well-being.

Circulation issues and high blood pressure are common among men and are significant causes of erectile dysfunction. Diabetes, a disease becoming increasingly common, can also lead to sexual dysfunction in men.

What keeps women up at night? Insomnia? Stress? Do you want more energy during the day? Need help getting that spark back in the bedroom?

Circulation issues are common in women, too. Eating healthy will increase blood flow throughout your body, brain, and libido.  Testosterone isn’t just a man’s issue. Healthy testosterone levels in women can help support sex drive, fertility, and a healthy menstrual cycle.  Less stress can lead to better sex. Taking charge of your sexual health will naturally boost the neurotransmitters that support optimal brain function.

Against All Odds: A Woman’s Remarkable Journey to Triumph and Transformation

By: Aimmee Kodachian

In a world where struggles often hinder the pursuit of dreams, Dr. Missy Johnson, affectionately known as “Miracle Missy,” is a beacon of resilience and hope. As the Founder of Fearless Women Rock LLC, she has turned her life’s most daunting challenges into a powerful platform for women to share their stories and inspire others. After spending over 20 years as a logistics manager for a Fortune 500 company, Dr. Missy’s life took an unexpected turn following multiple near-death experiences and a diagnosis of Stage 4 breast cancer.

Instead of succumbing to these trials, she lived on her terms, using her journey to empower women worldwide. Today, Dr. Missy is an award-winning speaker, coach, and four-time Amazon bestselling author whose mission is to give women hope in the face of adversity and help them become their best version.

Her body of work continues to abound, reaching millions through movies, speaking on stages, podcast interviews, and collaborations with networks such as BET, NBC, and FOX NEWS, alongside celebrities such as Michelle Williams, Marshawn Evans, Ta’Rhonda Jones, Eva Marcille, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Tressa “Azarel” Smallwood of MegaMind Media. Dr. Missy was honored with the prestigious President Obama Lifetime Achievement Award for her significant contributions and impact.

I first had the privilege of meeting Dr. Missy at a women’s empowerment event, where we were both invited as keynote speakers. Her incredible story of faith, resilience, and courage immediately captivated me and inspired me to share her remarkable journey. Recognizing the profound impact her knowledge and wisdom could have on others, I knew she would give people the hope they need to overcome their challenges.

Dr. Missy and I quickly blossomed into a meaningful friendship. Our shared commitment to making a difference has kept us connected, each conversation revealing new facets of our journeys. In the face of such immense personal challenges, one might wonder what drives someone to make such a significant career change and turn around and help others. To delve deeper into her inspiring journey, I asked Dr. Missy a few questions.

A: Dr. Missy, what motivated you to leave your corporate career and start Fearless Women Rock LLC despite your challenges?

M: After being offered a buyout, I left my corporate career, but my journey didn’t start with women—it began with high school kids. In the corporate world, I was seen as an inspirational coach for employees, so when I left, I thought, “Why not continue?” Initially…

From Rock to Diamond: The Alchemy of Mind and Spirit

By: SoFeya SahRa Joseph

Many years ago, when I coached competitive figure skating, I was obsessed with understanding why some athletes became champions while others failed despite having similar or even superior physical abilities. I would watch skaters practice complex maneuvers with consistent precision, only to crumble under pressure at competitions, year after year. These athletes would return, work even harder on their technique, yet despair after another disappointing performance. On the other hand, some consistently performed at their best under pressure. Something wasn’t adding up.

Work ethic, habits, and technique were not the only factors determining success. “Talent” was often used to describe the ‘lucky winners,’ while “psychology” was blamed for those with ‘faulty minds.’ However, I couldn’t rely on “luck” to coach only “talented” students. I needed to find a way to elevate the performance of my ‘faulty-minded’ students. Traditional sports psychology tools were not meeting the demands of my sport. Mental training requires long, unnatural, ineffective preparation in a high-paced, high-pressure, competitive environment. I had to find a better way.

The search for ‘another way’ led me to discover The Mind Wheel, an ancient yogic teaching that explains how our mind works. This simple diagram effectively shows how an event enters our mind (1), is processed through subconscious filters of our beliefs (2), and produces a thought (3). A thought elicits an emotion (4), which in turn invokes a desire (5), followed by an action (6). The action then creates a consequence (7) and leads to another event (0), and the cycle repeats.

Most people get stuck in this wheel for years, even lifetimes, habitually responding to a stimulus in the same way over and over. Cognitive Behavioral Psychologists refer to these mind processes as patterns, thought forms, or core beliefs and offer various therapy techniques for behavior change that may take years to instill with only mild relief. Eastern esoteric gurus promise that one can break the cycle if one develops will and discipline, such as required in yoga and meditation practice.

But they also warn of the challenge…

The Road to Lasting Peace

By: Dr. Angelika Selle

From childhood, I wanted to be a peacemaker, but it seemed like an impossible dream—a pipe dream, some would say.

According to one online post I recently encountered, “Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace only for 268 of them, or only 8 percent of recorded history.” This indicates that, although most humans desire peace, it has never been fully achieved. Yet, simultaneously, the strong desire for peace never stops, and efforts toward peace continue.

We also witness that institutions such as the United Nations—founded to maintain international peace and security and, to that end, to take effective collective measures to prevent and remove threats to the peace—have not been able to fulfill their promise to the fullest. In fact, in the face of today’s countless global crises, tensions, wars, and violations of human rights, one might not have much hope or expectations that the UN or any government or institution will be able to even make a dent in terms of not only creating peace but maintaining it.

So, is there any hope?

I say, YES, there is hope, and peace is possible!

However, from my experience, the answer does not lie in peace treaties, contracts, or mutual agreements. Instead, lasting peace begins in the spiritual realm and within each individual.

Indeed, I realized that, in addition to all the wars, divisions, and conflicts in the world, there are also eight billion wars—one within each of us. It is a battle between striving to do good, being kind and unselfish, and living for the sake of others and constantly being tempted and trapped into doing the opposite, namely, evil or bad, selfishness, anger, hate, and all other forms of hurting self and others.

One can say that the latter is just “reality” and “being human”; therefore, nothing will ever change.

Therein lies the problem…

Mastering Emotional Intelligence: Unlocking Your Brain’s Superpowers

By: Hisham David Shihadeh

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, has become an increasingly important superpower in our fast-paced, interconnected world.

What’s Inside Your Box?

By Joan S. Peck

Whether we know it or not, we each have a box within our mind where we stuff away some of our thoughts, ideas, dreams, fears, and prejudices. We started when we were young, not even aware of doing it. It could have been something like your fear of water, or an old saying such as “if you step on a crack, you break your mother’s back,” or the idea that you’re not successful unless you are rich, or the belief that you’ll never amount to anything, or the dream of becoming a doctor despite coming from a low-income family, or so many other things—those thoughts or ideas we unwittingly hold onto and have held close often influenced our way of living.

Do you believe your hopes and dreams cannot become real, so it is best not to bring them out of your box? Do you feel your prejudices are the only way to think? Have you allowed whatever you have put into your box to stay there without thought or review, or are they stuck there because you are unwilling to see them differently?

It may be time you look inside your box to see what you have placed inside…

Bring Your Best Game

By: Andi Buerger JD

Imagine it’s the day after the NFL’s famous Super Bowl game—no doubt there is celebration and disappointment in the post-game aftermath. It is the same for Major League Baseball’s World Series and many other well-known sports competitions where sometimes teams win – and sometimes they lose, kind of like life. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you face tremendous loss. The real question is, did you bring your best game?

No matter how good or new a team is – whether it’s your family, workplace, or community – the most critical factor in that ensemble is you. Are you fit to play the game? Are you prepared to win? Have you considered hypothetical options to anticipate whatever Team Life throws your way? Your teammates must also be fit, prepared, and ready to conquer “today” and will look to you as their model. What have you demonstrated to your life team this week that you want them to follow?

Your team wins in the long run by bringing your best game.

Best game means that you are emotionally, mentally, and physically up to the challenge of…

Embracing Your Invisible Sash: Tips for Women to Empower Themselves Daily

By: Eliz Nestorov

Wearing a sash can be a transformative experience. It’s more than just a piece of fabric; it symbolizes honor, achievement, and responsibility. Whether it’s a beauty queen sash, a graduation sash, or a ceremonial sash, donning it brings a unique blend of empowerment and vulnerability that shapes how we perceive ourselves and others.

The moment you put on a sash, you can feel its power. It’s a tangible representation of recognition and accomplishment, and this feeling of empowerment can be exhilarating. A sash signifies a significant achievement that makes you stand out. It commands respect and admiration, often opening doors to opportunities that might remain closed.

Wearing a sash boosts your confidence. It’s a constant reminder of your achievements and the hard work that brought you there. This sense of validation can inspire you to aim even higher, set new goals, and pursue them with renewed vigor. The sash is a beacon of hope and motivation, driving you to impact your community and beyond positively.

However, with “great power comes great responsibility.” The sash makes you vulnerable. You are in the spotlight when you wear it, and people assume expectations. This visibility can be daunting and intimidating. Your actions and words are often scrutinized, and the pressure to maintain a specific image can sometimes be overwhelming. The sash turns you into a public figure, and with that comes the challenge of living up to its ideals.

While not every day presents the opportunity to don a physical sash, women can harness its empowering essence daily. Here are some tips on how to wear your invisible sash…
