Day 104: Conflict Ends When You Stop Participating

Conflict can’t survive without you participating.

If someone wants to argue with you, it will never be more than their rant if you don’t answer back.

If someone is carrying a grudge and wants to remind you of it every time you see them, if you are nothing but kind, they will either stop or go find someone who will play their game.

If it’s so easy to stop, why don’t we do it more often?

Why get into arguments or let things simmer for long periods of time?

Hurt feelings over something that was said or done.

Those deep-rooted buttons being pushed.

If your ego or hurt feelings aren’t involved, it’s easy to not get pulled in.

Then the other person is kind of like a fly that gets in your car, and even though you put the window down so it can leave, it just keeps buzzing around you.

Not really harming you.

Just annoying because it makes sure you know it’s there.

One thing to ask yourself is:

Will this matter a month, a year, or twenty years from now?

If not, why are you allowing your energy to be pulled into it?

It does nothing but lower your energetic frequency.

And you don’t want to give other people the power to shift your energy.

You can use this as an affirmation or reminder:

There is plenty of room for me to grow and change.

It’s not difficult to shift your energy and your vibration when you know you can do it a little bit at a time.

Your emotions will always let you know exactly where you’re at.

The reality is, all your soul wants for you is joy and peace.

How you get there is up to you.

And sometimes that simply means choosing not to engage.

Not because you’re avoiding something.

But because you are no longer available for anything that pulls you out of alignment.

That’s not weakness.

That’s strength.

That’s self-led.

That’s sovereignty.

Today’s Gentle Practice

Take a quiet moment today.

Think of a situation where you’ve felt pulled into conflict.

Notice what it feels like in your body.

Then gently ask yourself:

“What would it feel like to not engage with this?”

Not to fix it.
Not to win.
Not to explain.

Just to stay in your own energy.

Take a breath.

And notice what shifts.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear where you’re choosing to protect your energy instead of engaging.

With you,

Lynn
