Abstract

faced with negative situations, I would complain, and people would listen to me. Little did I know that the people who I thought were patiently listening to me, were getting annoyed more than anything else.Then I decided to make an effort and improve my situation, and I started feeling better. I tried to control one negative thought at a time. Of course, it didn’t solve my problems but shifting my attention on the practice was like training a muscle: every day I avoided one complain, and I felt stronger. Whenever a friend asked me “how are you?”, I replied “I can’t complain”. This sentence blocked the negative energy from flowing out of my mouth and I started talking about something else. It was an effort at first, but it worked like a mantra to me. My negative sentences slowly disappeared.Why do we complain, after all? We complain when things don’t go the way

To Live A Better Life, You Should Stop Complaining

I have a very nice colleague who is used to complaining. She has lots of problems as we all do, but she feels relieved when she speaks to a friend and expresses her emotions. Through her conversation, you can portray and depict the negative aspects of her life. As a friend, I feel empathy towards her and helpless that I cannot alleviate her pain. I often wonder what life is like for her.

When I look back, I was in fact just like my friend. When faced with negative situations, I would complain, and people would listen to me. Little did I know that the people who I thought were patiently listening to me, were getting annoyed more than anything else.

Then I decided to make an effort and improve my situation, and I started feeling better. I tried to control one negative thought at a time.
