Talking with a friend recently I realised when arguing we became defensive and used our learned behaviour, flight and fight responses. The end result was not good, so together we decided to watch our actions, and be aware of these behaviours, so that if we do end up arguing again it will not result in that bad experience, but help us learn more about each other. I think this article is so timely. :-)

Thanks for writing about the lesser struggles in life, although they are lesser, they are still battles which need to be won day to day!
I know i battle to stay awake at work on somedays. And everyday I struggle to get out of bed; in the end i usually kick it and jump out and seize the day. Its the only way! I think on weekends some of us really give in!
