Today we discuss "the art of de-escalation" and how communication can prevent life circumstances from getting to the point where it requires de-escalation.  Moreover, we examine the importance of getting to the root cause of the stressful situation at hand.  Also - we ask ourselves difficult questions such as:  Do the pros outweigh the cons?  Are you comfortable with your life?  Do you understand your why?  Is it worth it?  If you prefer to eat the proverbial shit sandwich, what are you *doing* to cope with these situations that require de-escalation in a healthy, positive, and beneficial way?   How are we creating an environment in our own lives that allows us to respond to these situations instead of letting life circumstances control us?  I'm no master - just a guy sharing his own experience based on your comments.~Do you have a question you'd like Rob to answer?   Perhaps you have some feedback for the show!   If you do...let us know!  You can do so in two different ways:  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth Send me an email - allaroundgrowth@gmail.com~ Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunityTwitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in April 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at allaroundgrowth@gmail.com~Discussion Links:Support the showBecome a Patreon of the Show! ➡️ patreon.com/allaroundgrowth
