Make a Discussion About Solving a Problem
I know this is a hard one for all of us. We thinking venting will make us feel better but it makes us angrier, and it keeps us focused on the problem. If we want to develop a new mindset, then we need to be aware of when we are complaining because it drains us. This doesn’t mean that we should dismiss our feelings. Delve into them, feel them, and discuss them with your loved one with the goal of figuring out how to move forward.
The key here is to catch yourself. We all think we don’t complain, but we do. I have drastically cut down my complaints, and my life is so much better for it. However, I still do catch myself from time to time. I have practiced noticing my thoughts and when I complain it doesn’t feel good now. When I recognize this feeling, I reel myself back in and learn more about myself. I do it every day. Let’s work on catching ourselves when we start to complain and become more self-aware in the process.
