Argument and disagreements is very common in any relationship, it can happen between friends, family, or your colleagues and between husband and wife at work place. is natural to have misunderstanding in aspect which can lead to arguments and conflicts. Though in life it is very important to learn how you manage arguments and stay calm during any discussion that will lead to arguments, this is to prevent escalation and resolve any argument effectively.
How do you manage to stay calm during an argument?
I am a very hot temper person but I can't just get on your nerves on my own, it is only when you provoke me, but this days I try to manage my anger so that I won't do things that I will regret in future, so there are some keys I apply to stay calm when ever there is an argument. One of the key is that I practiced self-awareness and self-control. What I mean here is that I am very mindful of my emotions and my reactions, when ever I noticed that there will be an argument, I will just keep calm then take a deep breathe before I can say anything or before I can reply. When ever I take notice of my feelings and thinking, I will be able to regulate my emotions and it will not escalate. Another key is that when ever there is an argument I try as much as possible behave very calm and when I am talking, I will make sure that my tone is not high, with this method it has help me not involving in an argument.
Why is it important to listen carefully during a disagreement?
When ever there is a disagreement the best thing to do is to Listen carefully before responding, when both parties are talking, argument will still escalate but if you listen before responding you will be able to respond well without it involving misunderstanding. This method may be useful because it will help to build trust, which is very important because it will help one to be able to solve the issue that would have lead to arguments. By listening carefully, one will be able to express him or her self very well during misunderstandings and it will help both parties have a clear understanding of the issue at hand.
How does understanding someone else's feelings help in resolving conflicts?
Understanding someone else's feelings is very important when solving issues as it helps to promote togetherness, not only that, it also build mutual respect. If any misunderstanding occurs, just take it to be you and how will you feel so is better to take note of individual emotions, it is better you understand what leads to the argument. When you understand it will help you to know the angle where the problem was coming from and from there you will be able to solve the problem.
What can we do to control our anger during an argument?
For us to control our anger during an argument, it is very important for us to be able to understand and manage our behaviour and our reactions to feelings and things happening around us. This involves you be able to take note of the cause that will lead to anger, such as feeling misunderstood or threatened, then you have to find a healthy ways to adjust so that you will be able to cope with these emotions. You can have a rethink then calm down before you respond, this can help prevent hurtful reactions.

Really a nice post my dear it is very insightful and provides great tips on how to stay calm during arguments listen carefully and understand others' feelings, and then control your anger and also it's good to remember these strategies to maintain healthy relationships and effective communication. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and advice best of luck in the contest.
Maintaining a healthy emotional balance can pay off during conflicts. But it can only be applied when known to be in control of the situation.
The tone we use during an argument is the reason most arguments escalate to something that can't be controlled again.
It is good to take a deep breath, calm your nerves if the anger is already on its way, before you answer any word that comes as an argument. When there's a mutual respect, i don't think arguments will even last between two people because you both understand the feelings of each other.
Good luck to you
