Do not make complaining as habit


Complaining


Do not make it a habit.

Why do we complain?
We complain 
1. When we’re bored.
When we feel uninspired, we often look for things to complain about.It can be easier to direct our energy towards something negative than it is to get creative and find ways to stimulate our mind.
The best way to combat this pattern is to redirect your focus.
Choose to shift your energy from complaining to celebrating.
To kill your boredom have more and more hobbies such as writing poems, drawing, dancing, singing.
Think for creations.
If you are not happy with foods, start thinking of trying something new yourself.
It will make you realize that you are capable of effecting change, the urge to complain fades.

2.We complain if we are not happy.

We complain about the negativity around us, we are unwilling to look at the negativity within us.
Therefore we project our sadness outward by complaining about other people and our surrounding. It is easier and more comfortable to blame things external to us.
The simple way out of this pattern is to focus on the good stuff.
Proactively choose to focus on what feels good and what makes you happy.It brings more joy, energy and excitement to your life.
Play a song you love, write down what you’re grateful for or call a friend.

3. Complaining is a habit.

The best way to change the habit is to witness it and then chose to see it differently.

How to stop Complaining?


“Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be happy the thorn bush has roses.” ~Proverb

1. Change the way of your thinking.

 Much like the quote above, we are bothered first by the thorns in the rose bush instead of being marvelled by the sight of the beautiful roses.
This requires a new practice of being mindful. When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone, stop and force yourself to say something positive instead. Enlist the help of a cheerful friend to stop you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.

2. Share your feelings

Constantly ignoring your negative thoughts could add up. If you are really going through a rough time, don’t be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family member or see a therapist. Don’t feel ashamed if you need to talk through negative feelings.

3. Practice yoga.

Yoga focuses on breathing, movement, and meditation and helps you to control your mind and body. Our minds often race in a million directions. Yoga can help you calm your racing thoughts and be more positive with your intentions.

4. Train yourself to be less judgmental.

 Once you stop judging people without knowing their stories, you will most likely complain less about the things people do.

5. Make a list of things you’re grateful for.

Stopping for a minute and thinking of all the great things and amazing people in your life will probably put any silly complaints you had to rest.

6. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Next time you’re with your friends, family, or co-workers and engaged in a complaint fest, speak up or quiet down.

7. Accept responsibility.

If something is bothering you, either fix it or accept that nothing can be done right now, so why complain? Complaining is a passive activity. Change that complaining into action to solve the problem or simple accept it and give your mind something else to focus on.

8. Find what makes you happy.

Sometimes this list can be easy, full of hobbies you enjoy. Sometimes it requires deeper introspection. Are you constantly complaining about your job? Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on to another job or career. Uncover what your biggest complaints are about and see if you can change the situation to make you happy.

9. Take care of yourself.

Stress and a busy lifestyle can often take over our lives and break down anyone’s positive spirit. Take time out from your life for just you. Make sure you get to see that movie you were dying to watch, take a hot bath, head to your exercise class, get a manicure, play sports, or do whatever relaxes and energizes you. It could just put you in a new frame of mind.

10. Simply ask yourself when you open your mouth: would you rather complain or be happy?

Choose happiness, focusing on the positive, and being kind always! It is your choice and no one else’s.
