You can stop being a powerless complainer and start actively taking control over your own life. Complainers continuously fuss about a situation without doing something to solve the problem. You might love complaining in the moment, but people aren’t going to love listening to you over time.

Complaining might feel good in the moment but it isn’t great for your health. It raises your cortisol levels, increases anxiety, makes you feel stressed or depressed.

Besting What Annoys You

Discover your triggers. Figure out what sparks your inner complainer.

Interrupt the pattern of habitual and unconscious complaining. Do you complain as small talk or have gripe sessions with a certain group of people? Determine how to have the relationships you want without the complaining.

Recognize it’s a lifelong habit. The world will give you plenty of frustrations. Build your own personal, emotional resilience so you can recover more quickly when things go off the rails.

Complaints often stand in for other emotions. Think about what is prompting those complaints.

Listen as Cianna Stewart joins Dr. Holly Lucille to share how to stop complaining and get out of your own way.
