Do you have people in your life who like to complain? Are you guilty of complaining? Most of us are. According to an article by Meghan Overdeep in Southern Living, “The average person complains between 15 and 30 times a day.” It goes on to say that “Research from Stanford University has shown that complaining, or even being complained to, for 30 minutes or more can physically damage the brain, specifically the area critical to problem solving and intelligent thought.” Oh no! What now?
Here are some ways to break the destructive habit of complaining.
Here are some ways to get others to stop complaining to you.
I hope that you will use this information to stop complaining and get others around you to stop complaining. When we are more positive, we are more powerful and creative. We realize what we can do something about and take action and let go of the negative thoughts/words that aren’t serving us.
