*A STRATEGY TO AVOID COMPLAINING*
To ditch that nasty complaining habit and those negative thoughts racing around in your head, you need to replace that negative habit with a positive one. It's challenging, but it's much easier if you do the following;
*Start practicing gratitude.* The simple act of giving thanks has been found to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety while improving your mood and energy.
*Praise others.*
Did a colleague go above and beyond? Dish out the compliments. Making her day will lift your spirits as well.
*Focus on success.*
This is pretty straightforward: If you believe you're going to be successful, you will be. Stop the whining and start focusing on what's amazing in your life.
*Let it go.*
Don't live in the past; it's done and over with. Focus on how awesome today and tomorrow can be if you put your effort there.
*Take action.*
If you're not satisfied with your current situation, do something about it. Complaining won't change a thing.
*Develop a solution.*
Before you start complaining, take a breath to think about what you want to accomplish and the possible solutions to reach that outcome. For example, if an employee is always late, don't whine about it every day to your co-founder. Sit down with the employee to figure what's going on. If it doesn't appear things will change, you may have to let him go. That would be an unfortunate outcome, but either way, you've addressed the problem so it's no longer weighing on you.
*Destress and focus on the positive.*
Look for ways to blow off steam productively, like exercising, meditating or learning a skill that can resolve a problem.
