8 ways to handle tension after an argument.

#2 Let go and don’t hold a grudge

Often, tension is caused after an argument because we don’t allow ourselves to let the disagreement go. When we sit in silence, we are quite often continuing to justify our own side of the argument in our minds.

Remember that neither arguing nor holding a grudge is worth your time. You can make the decision to choose a positive mindset. Even if something has annoyed or upset you, or if the argument hasn’t been fully resolved, let it go. It is never as important as you think it is at that time. In the grand scheme of things, your happiness and the health of your relationship are much more important. And they will thrive if you don’t let every negative experience get to you and cling to you. Forget it and move on.
