The best way to resolve conflicts

In the human conflict-resolution world, we tend to spend the vast majority of our time going deep into the analysis of our problems and very little time moving.

Thinking about your needs and position and the needs and position of your negotiating partner is important, but people have a tendency to get stuck at this analysis stage. Literally getting up and taking a walk together helps break this impasse. Physical movement jogs mental movement. When our bodies are active, repetitive thinking patterns lose some of their grips and new solutions occur to us.
