How To Complain Less And Get Amazing Positive Results
“People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.” Stephen Hawking
When you stop complaining you will be a happier person. This weeks treasure is to learn how not to complain. Keep in mind; it’s not only you complaining that’s a problem, but it's also being around people that complain. It’s “offensive fumes; it’s like second-hand smoke.” John Gordon, The No Complaining Rule. Bottom line, complaining is harmful and it depletes your energy. It’s time to stop.
At one point in my life I started to notice that I was a chronic complainer, but what I saw the most, is that I complained about small stuff. Like when the house was a mess or when I had to do the dishes. When I started enjoying doing my everyday tasks without complaining things began to shift around me, I felt happier, and I enjoyed keeping the house tidy and neat. Now I do the dishes without complaining, and it feels as if I’m in a meditative state. All I did was stop looking at the negative aspect of doing my chores.
Below I will share with you tips on how to stop yourself from complaining yourself into an aggravated mess.
Start thinking of complaining as energy wasted. If you are faced with a situation that you can’t tackle immediately, don’t dwell on it. The chances are that it will correct itself.
“A 2016 study by Stanford researchers found that complaining shrinks your hippocampus, which is the part of your brain critical to problem-solving. It's also one of the central areas of your brain that Alzheimer's destroys. Complaining also releases cortisol, the stress hormone, which raises your blood pressure and blood sugar. Frequent complaining can lead to heart disease and diabetes.” Chicago Tribune
Complaining is terrible physically, emotionally and spiritually. Physically it releases the stress hormone Cortisol that gives you anxiety, emotionally it hurts, and spiritually you attract the same bitterness over and over again. Decide to stop complaining today, and start seeing solutions to your problem. Take action to feel better, be stronger and happy. What are you feeding your mind, body, and soul? It all has to match in the same healing vibration, or you will not feel right. It's time to wake up and feel good. Make decisions that make your life better.
