* Different Kinds of Conflicts by Sandy Karn
We'll begin with just two kinds of conflicts. "Me-me" conflicts are a good start. If I have two major behaviors within myself that are in conflict, I could be torn between those two behaviors, until I understand what this "me-me" conflict is all about.
Once we know what causes our frustrations, then we can do something about situations as they come up. It's when we don't understand what's going on within our thinking, that plays havoc with our feelings. This causes a conflict that we may not understand. It also causes our results to be not as great as they could be.
An example of a "me-me" conflict is when we have a High D, dominant factor, in our behavior patterns. along with a High C, compliance factor, going on at the same time.
A High D part wants things done right now, if not sooner, and a High C part wants to slow it down to have the time necessary to review the facts - to make sure it's all done exactly right.
I think you can easily see in this example, the inner battle that's going on in this person with their High D and High C characteristics happening at the same time in their dominant behavior patterns, and the type of conflict that would cause. This conflict alone plays havoc with our results. It can interfere, slow down, or cause us to not get the results we want at all.
If you notice something like this going on within yourself - stop, observe it, and change your game-plan for a better solution. Sometimes, awareness of what our problem is, will be enough to get us through it with understanding. That's all that's needed for us to tweak our responses to these kinds of issues.
We have choices, and the consequences do follow. So, it's up to us to take charge of our own behavioral patterns, so we can make the best out of them. We want to observe our reality, and take the initiative to change what needs to be changed, for improved results.
Wishing you the best in your awareness of your own "Me-Me" conflicts, and what you can do about them to bring more balance into your life,
