How to give me feedback

Be considerate and avoid confrontation or harsh criticism.
Emphasise how feedback will contribute to greater harmony and fluidity.
Use inclusive language and avoid making me feel isolated or responsible for the problem.
Example: “You're really good at maintaining harmony and making everyone feel included. A little tweak here could make things even smoother for everyone”.

My conflict resolution method

I resolve conflict by seeking harmony and avoiding confrontation. I often minimize issues or defer to others to maintain peace, though this can lead to unresolved tensions.
When I’m at my best, I assert my own needs while using my natural diplomacy to find balanced and fair solutions.

Questions to encourage self-awareness

Do I avoid conflict or difficult conversations, even when addressing them might help?
How often do I go along with others’ plans or desires rather than expressing my own preferences?
Am I procrastinating on important tasks because they feel overwhelming or disruptive?
Do I downplay problems or pretend everything is fine to maintain peace?
How connected do I feel to my own passions, values, and goals?

Exercises to foster growth and balance

Identify Your Preferences: Each day, practice expressing one personal preference, even in small matters like choosing a meal or an activity.
Take One Small Step: Pick a project or task you’ve been procrastinating on and take one small, manageable action toward completing it. Reflect on the sense of progress.
Express Disagreement: Practice gently but clearly stating when you disagree with someone. Notice how it feels to assert yourself while maintaining harmony.
