BONUS POST _ How to diffuse conflicts that arise in your life

Dear Readers 👋 

I love sharing because sharing is caring so as always.......
Time to put on your thinking hats and let's get to it:
🤫😀👇

You get 6 different types of thinking hats applied in business, this role playing mode was created by a genius mind Edward Do Bono back in 1986, 

However this is a great tool to psychologically understand people's ways of thinking, the mindset morals values and beliefs they hold and basically what they are all about, see the thing is people reveal to you who they are, you just gotta become aware of the signs and only then can you learn to live in peace with people who annoy or bring you to agitation,,,,

Time to unlock to free thinking:
Accepting the different thinking hats blocks disagreements that happen when people with different thinking styles discuss same issues, approaching the conversation from this particular point of view helps people move outside their usual thinking styles and helps one get a broader understanding of the situation.

BLACK - Critic/analyst 
BLUE - Agenda, decision, global overview 
WHITE - Facts, data and figures 
GREEN - Creative, growth and ideas 
YELLOW - Logical and positive
RED - Emotions, hunches, gut feelings and instincts 

How people react to situations shows you the type of thinking hat they wear on a regular. Time to go deeper......

Here are some examples:

Black known as Devils Advocate 
Will talk along the lines of " he has no experience in managing anything so he won't be anything" (very sad hat)

Blue known as Orchestra Conductor 
Will talk along the lines of " we have spent too much time looking for someone to blame" (managing hat)

White known as Factual
Will talk along the lines of " what info do we have here and what info is missing?" (analytical hat)

Green known as Innovative 
Will talk along the lines of "we need solutions here, how can we grow from this?" (beautiful creative hat)

Yellow known as Positive 
Will talking along the lines of "what did we gain from this situation?" ( optimistic hat)

Red known as Emotional 
Will talk along the lines of "I don't like this or I don't like that, my gut feeling says it won't work, I,I,I, me myself and I ( hot hat)

And there you have it, a good understanding of this helps you learn to identify people and what their thinking is all about, remember not all of us are having the same thinking patterns and becoming aware of this can help change the black and red hats to a different colour 😁💛

Until next time.....Firi_B

Rule No 1_ God first (before anyone else)

This dear Readers will be the 1st rule you will live by.....I could write a whole library comprising of all the benefits that comes with putting God 1st in your life but unfortunately it's 2022 and time is no longer our friend, everything has to be done in the quickest time possible so let me sum it up! Nothing and no one on this earth belongs to you, really take in what I am saying guys, when you die you will leave everything behind and what you do here matters cos it will reflect in who and what you leave behind! Take your kids for example: If your someone who taught them manners, respect,humility, kindness, those are the morals and character you will leave behind, so take inventory of where you have been going wrong and start living by the word of God, the guidance and knowledge God has given us will not only leave behind a lineage of good people but also a better tomorrow for future generations to come. Remember we are all connected we all need eachother to survive, mother natu...

Part Three Rule No 6_Become more reflective and less observant

Dear Readers  Time to put on our thinking hats and journey down the rabbit hole.....we have come to the final part of rule No 6. Let's talk about the experiences you will go through when you decide to take the journey inward, remember going inward doesn't involve relaxing in bed and listening to music, or watching TV and thinking about your life, if you do it that way, you are still giving your time and attention to music and TV and no real journey will happen, it will be a fake form of reflecting.  Let's go deeper: If you did the exercise of making notes and reflecting on your day you probably picked up on some areas that needs more work than others, the interactions that make you uncomfortable are the ones you should be paying attention to. When you place yourself as the main character of your story something happens within, it ignites a spark you never knew you had, the spark of "awareness" when you start becoming truly aware, you WAKE UP.....everything and eve...
