Eliminate complaining in your life...once and for all. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x30/davekyn/PLAY_zps14pxmhjo.png (https://player.fm/series/an-uncluttered-life/aul-151-eliminate-complaining-in-your-lifeonce-and-for-all)

It's OK, you can still dump. It's just knowing how to, why and when to. I find it's so easy to keep complaining without actually taking the steps to do anything about it. At some point we have to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves, otherwise we will always be crying for rest of our lives. If you want to create a positive routine that gets us the results we are looking for, then we have to stop complaining and start looking for resolutions.

This includes no longer taking on board other peoples complaints. "Really? You told me that last time we spoke. What have you done to make things different?"

The problem can be so bad, that when complainers see positive interaction like so, that they close the door and look for another place were they can continue complaining. Once you understand just how complaining contributes to brain damage, then you might feel the urge to stop doing it. :)

Are you ready to stop? Hit the play button if so and let us know what you think. I'm over all the whining in my family, so have resorted to seeking out positive peer support as my response to others wallowing in self pitty. As a result, I can continue to be of benefit to others when they are ready to help themselves. In the mean time, I can continue keeping myself afloat doing the things I enjoy.

I was waiting for this thread:)) Yes complaining is setting yourself up for failure and unhappiness. I know people who complain all the time that they are gonna have a heart attack, guess what it happens. Programing, reprogramming.
Nice, thank for the podcast :))
BTW I am guilty as sin too, I do complain but lately I try to take another look at the situation. Usually the problem is with me. It is hard job to change it :)

YW Dahila. I have some really "really" heavy stuff going on with my family at the moment. Normally I am open with it. Learning to let go whilst still making myself available is no easy task. Walking and listening to recovery based podcasts help me to keep an optimistic outlook - no matter how grim things appear to be. Sigh. : (

What you say about programming is spot on! I could not agree more.

Admitting it like so is the first step - Me too ... I'm guilty as hell, yet strive to drop the whole concept of blame and shame. Whilst I sometimes adopt "is what it is" Yet - I am making a move to simply improve upon that.

I try to bit my tongue, sometimes it helps :)
