Stop Complaining: 3 good reasons to quit!
updated the 24 June 2015 à 10:28Coach and trainer in personal development – and author of bestseller book “I quit complaining” – Christine Lewicki, explains why it is urgent to stop moaning about your life – and most importantly how!
#1 You will be calmer
By grumbling all the time, we pick at our own misfortunes. As a result of the constant griping, we give our frustrations an opportunity to invade our lives. And we spoil our daily lives, even though, if we think about it, our day did not go all that bad.
#2 You will act instead of complaining
You will no longer be pestered trying to find someone to blame, and instead actually do something to improve the situation. When we understand whining as a way to ask for help without directly asking for it, we may decide to continue with it. Express yourself more clearly, make your needs better known, and thus be truly heard. This is also an opportunity to sort yourself out and figure out what really matters to you, and what you can let go.
#3 By changing your words, you will change your life
When you stop complaining, we get the impression that there is nothing left to say, because griping about certain issues unites and creates links with others, and increases the ease of conversation (in transport, around the coffee machine, etc.). Ceasing to grumble, however, means that you end up talking more about the things that are going well. As a result, you put more gratitude and celebration in your words, and therefore in your life.
How to recognize that you’re complaining?
– Your tone (not very agreeable)
– Your position (you stand as a victim, instead of seeking a solution)
– You exaggerate to be heard (“I’ve told you this 100 times!” “With you, it is always the same old story!” etc.)
You are convinced that quitting the complaints will benefit you? Here’s how to free yourself from the evil inclination:
