We all whinesome of us more than others.
It’s hard to have the self-awareness that you’re doing it yourself.
It brings down the mood of everyone within earshot.
It can be toxic to relationships.
We tend to whine or complain without purpose, and that’s the problem.
That’s no good for you.
“Whining is just a powerless complaint,” she says.
Understand this and you might get to the root of what is wrong.
That feeling of powerless stretches you thinner than you might think.
So, I decided to give myself a No Whining Manifesto, and I recommend you try it too.
Spend a couple days watching yourself and writing about all the stuff you complain about.
You’ll feel a little dumb by the end, I promise, but it’s a good thing.
Let your friends get in your face about your petulant whining for a whole week.
Tell them to be forward.
Have them ask you a simple question: “How do you intend to fix this problem?”
and you’ll be on your way to whine-free.
