III. Introduction: Part of being alive is not just experiencing joy and fun, it also
includes our problems, pains and even our frustration. However, we
sometimes look at our life in small parts, like it seems that we are doomed
because we have a lot of problems in school and at home, your day will
become bad because you feel disgust in the morning of the second hour. All
this type of perspective may hider as from looking the big picture of being
alive. Remember, problems are just part of our life, not our life. We hope that
this activity will help in devloping skills to face your life challenges.
IV. Activity:
1. How do you feel about the things that you can control? How about the
things that you cannot control?
3. What can be your resolution about yourself when face with life challenges?
Put it into practice. Write down your problem and all the specific ways that
you’re affected by it. It’s time to get clear about what you’re facing.
For example, thinking “I would like all the painful people in my class to
disappear” isn’t a realistic goal because it’s not within your control. However,
“I would like to focus on spending more time with my friends during lunch
and breaks between classes” is a realistic goal because it’s more likely to
happen and is within your control. Similarly, “get rid of Mr. Simpson” is not a
realistic goal, but “work out a strategy to help me cope with Mr. Simpson
without getting upset” is more feasible.
Put it into practice. Focus on realistic goals within your control for
each problem you identified in step 1. Ask yourself the above questions to get
even more specific about what you need.
Put it into practice. Look for all the ideas on your list that are
unrealistic or unlikely to be helpful and cross them out. Spend some time
thinking about the potential outcomes of these strategies. If you’re on the fence
about some of your solutions, save it for the next step.
Now you can be the judge. You’ve gotten specific about your problems,
come up with some goals, thought of some really good solutions, and trashed
the ones that weren’t so great. Now it’s time to weigh out the options we have
left. For each solution you have for your problem, think of the positive and
negative outcomes.
To continue using this example:
• Being rude back at the other students might help you let off some
steam (positive), but it might also make the situation more hostile and could
get you in trouble (negative).
• Being nice toward them in spite of their put-downs may make you feel
frustrated (negative), but it might change the way some of them respond to you
(positive).
• Explaining to the others that you don’t like the way they are treating
you might make you feel embarrassed (negative), but at least they will know
how you feel and you spoke up for yourself (positive).
• Ignoring them might be really hard to do and some people find this
doesn’t work very well. But if you do it successfully – meaning really ignore
them, it might help you feel more empowered (positive).
Put it into practice. Go through the options that are left and write down
the ”pros” and ”cons” of each. Creating a table where you can them side by
side can be really helpful.
Make your decisions. Once you’ve considered the positive and negative
outcomes for each possible solution, it’s time to make a decision. There may be
one option that stands out as better than the others. If there are a few possible
solutions, you might be able to implement all of them.
For instance, with the above example, you might decide to talk to the
people who are hassling you and explain how you feel and what you want. If it
happens again, you might then decide to go to your advisor or counselor to
discuss the problem and perhaps ask to change classes.
Put it into practice. Go through the options and pick out the ones that
seem the most practical and potentially helpful.
7. Put It Into Action
The real work. Now it’s time to take all of this planning and put it into
action. Depending on what you’re trying to do you might need to use effective
communication skills, plan for the safest option, making sure you’re in a level
emotional place before acting, or check the way you’re thinking about this
situation so you can play it fair.
For example, you might decide to approach one of the girls in your class
who makes nasty comments about you. This can go wrong pretty quickly if we
attack the other person with our words. With mindful communication, we can
keep this situation from escalating.
Communication Tips:
• Use this formula: “This happened, I feel this, and this is what I need
from you.”
• “When you said really hurtful things about me in front of everyone in
class it made me feel disrespected and upset. Going forward, can you not do
that in front of everyone? If you have a problem, you can talk to me about it
privately.”
• “Do you remember how you made that joke about me in class the
other day? I felt really embarrassed when you did that. I would appreciate it if
you didn’t did that again.”
• Use tact. We’ve all have someone talk to us in a rude way. How did
that make you feel? Did that make you open to hearing what else they had to
say? Try your best to deliver your message or request with tact so the person
doesn’t shut down and will actually be receptive to what you say.
• Providing context can help. You don’t have to explain yourself if you
don’t want to, though sometimes giving people context can help them
understand you better. Let’s say you messed up and forgot to do that thing
your mom asked you to do. You can say:
• “I can see how you’re upset with me because I didn’t do what you
asked me to. I feel really stressed right now with all my assignments and
exams, and trying to keep up with everything. My brain has been a little
scattered lately. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful to you. Could we make a
list together of things you need me to do so I don’t forget?”
• Be understanding. Try to come from a place of understanding if you
value the relationship (or learn about other’s perspectives).
• “Can you tell me more about why you did that?”
• “Help me understand why you reacted that way.”
• Rehearse what you’ll say. Try to write down the things that you plan
to say so that you have it clear in your mind. If this doesn’t work, one of your
other solutions might work. In the example used previously, your next action
might be to go to your teacher or counselor to talk to him or her about the
problem. Again, you can write down in advance what you plan to say.
• Stay solution-focused. It’s easy to get caught up in the feels when
you’re trying to express your needs. Take a break if you need to and come back
to the conversation when you’re ready. If you value the relationship, always try
to stay focused on how you can improve things so this doesn’t happen again.
Put it into practice. Go get ’em, Tiger! Put your plan into action. Use
your voice. Stick up for yourself. Make amends. Whatever it is you need to do,
now is the time.
Reflect and review. The last step is to review how things went. So you
tried it out—what happened? Did it solve the problem, or do you need to try
another approach? If your current approach worked, then that’s all you need
to do. But, if you didn’t get what you wanted, then it’s usually helpful to try a
different approach. Talking to friends and family could be really helpful in
finding alternatives you’ve never thought of.
Activity 3: Application
Instruction: Now that you read the steps, it is time to identify your problem and
put it into writing and apply what you understand from the reading. Please fill in
the table to complete your action-solution to the problem you identified. You can
use a separate sheet for this activity.
Remember This!
Is there a situation that you don’t like? If you can change it, try working
through the steps towards finding a solution to your problem. If not, see how you
feel after trying to cope with the situation. What can you say to yourself to accept
the situation? What sorts of things can you do to get on with your life in a positive
way, in spite of the situation?
Remember that problems are a normal part of life, and that we usually feel
better when we do something constructive toward resolving our problems rather
than just dwelling on them. Make a plan, take action, and do your best. In the
end, you’ll know you did all you could to make a difference.

Instruction: Please read the following and share your thoghts about what you
think.
Conflicts are often about multiple issues at many levels. Conflict analysis must
look at all possible causes.
◆ Is it about history?
Parties can include those who are visible, as well as those behind the scenes.
◆ Is it an internal conflict—a conflict with oneself?
◆ Outside of the people directly involved in the conflict, who has a stake in
the outcome?
In some conflicts, the parties know one another and in others they do not. When
parties know one another, conflict management includes rebuilding relationships.
When parties do not know one another, establishing a relationship means making
sure all parties act in good faith.
◆ How much do the parties rely on each other? Do the actions of one party
seriously affect the actions of the other?
In conflict, each party has its own story, its own history.
◆ How intense is the conflict? Is the conflict life threatening? How does the
intensity affect possible solutions to the conflict?
STYLES: HOW HAVE THE PARTIES CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH THE CONFLICT?
Each party may use one or more styles to manage the conflict. It is helpful to
identify the styles being used. ◆ Confront or compete
◆ Accommodate
◆ Compromise
◆ Problem solve
◆ Avoid
◆ Has this conflict gone on for a long time? What has been the result?
◆ If so, who made the attempts and what happened? If not, why not?
