A difficult decision to make sometimes … but by using a tool like the Polarity Map we're able to see both the positives and negatives of both options, giving us a clearer picture of the decision we're about to make.
In this instance we'll look at the positives and negatives of engaging in conflict, as well as the positives and negatives of avoiding conflict, like so:
Positives
Move forward
Purify your heart
Learn to express emotions and opinions
Relieving of built-up anger/unhappiness/pressure
Stress-relieving
Gaining of self-respect
Stay true to yourself
Pushing your own boundaries
Negatives
Put yourself in an uncomfortable situation
Might lose self-respect
Might lose friendships/connections
Add Stress
Potential changing of positive image of person
Positives
No Discomfort
Keeping relationships/connections
Not rocking the boat
Maintain harmony
Negatives
Building up stress/anger
Blow issues out of proportion
Aiming anger at wrong person
Not learning how to express own opinion/anger/frustration
Might lead to feeling like a doormat
Not being authentic and true to yourself
Dishonest and cheating yourself
Building up resentment
Armed with this information we're able to make a far more informed and rational decision based on all the facts (some of which you might have missed were it not for this tool).
