After three decades of using various self-help strategies on myself, as well as suggesting them to others, I share five techniques that seem to work - for me - especially with regard to situations involving interpersonal conflict.
K = (Loving)Kindness - "May you be happy/healthy/free from suffering."
I = Intentionality
N = No More Suffering - This Too Shall Pass | גם זה יעבור
G = Gratitude
S = Something Else
