You may approach others with caution today and wonder whether they may be hiding something from you. Doubts about people's intentions could lead you to observe them closely. Although you want people to be authentic and honest with you, you may have a difficult time recognizing these traits in others because of your skepticism. Your fear that others are being dishonest with you could become a self-fulfilling prophesy. It may be better to assume that people have the best of intentions until proven otherwise. Giving others the benefit of the doubt today may quell your suspicions and allow you to accept people as they are.

Trusting people is a simple way to feel good about your interactions with others and to help yourself see the world as a better place. When we are suspicious of people's motives from the moment we encounter them, it becomes difficult to open up or work with them on a shared goal. Holding to the notion that the people you meet are as earnest as you are allows you to be yourself and relate to them naturally. Each new person you encounter represents another opportunity to make a friend. Putting your guard up prevents you from being intimate with others. If you can trust that you have sound judgment and will know who to approach and who to stay away from, you can be open with the people that you choose to bring into your life. Putting your faith in others today will empower you to see people as honest and look upon your interactions with optimism and openness.

Protect Yourself from Control Dramas
by Dr. Jody Janati

Got Conflict? Dr. Jody Janati will help you identify and protect yourself from common control dramas that arise when individuals become defensive. Once you are able to recognize the behaviors that surface during defensive reactions, you will learn over 101 ways to constructively respond during difficult interactions. The goal of this course is to help you set healthy boundaries with others and ultimately find your, "Conversation Peace." Most people have come to accept that conflict is inevitable, but what they may not realize is most of us use control dramas to essentially "get our way with others" to gain attention and power. We get our way with others by making them pay attention to us and then elicit a certain reaction from them to make ourselves feel fulfilled. The positive feelings we gain are won at the expense of the other person and this often causes imbalance and drama in our interpersonal relationships. In this course you'll learn about common control dramas and how to negate them through step by step applied approaches that really work.
