The document discusses why people complain and provides tips to stop complaining. It notes that complaining can stem from boredom, unhappiness, or simply being a habit.

The overall message is that complaining is a choice, and small changes in perspective can help shift the focus to more positive thoughts and conversations.

1. Complaining??
Do not make it a habit.
I don’t like this food.
I want a new toy
I want a mobile

2. Why do we complain?
We complain
1. When we’re bored:
When we feel uninspired, we often look for
things to complain about.It can be easier to
direct our energy towards something negative
than it is to get creative and find ways to
stimulate our mind.
The best way to combat this pattern is to
redirect your focus.
Choose to shift your energy from complaining
to celebrating.
To kill your boredom you should have more
and more hobbies such as writing poems,
drawing, dancing, singing.

3. Think for creations.
If you are not happy with foods, start thinking
of trying something new yourself.
It will make you realize that you are capable of
effecting change, the urge to complain fades.
2.We complain if we are not happy.
We complain about the negativity around us,
we are unwilling to look at the negativity
within us.
Therefore we project our sadness outward by
complaining about other people and our
surrounding. It is easier and more comfortable
to blame things external to us.
The simple way out of this pattern is to focus
on the good stuff.

4. Proactively choose to focus on what feels good
and what makes you happy. It brings more joy,
energy and excitement to your life.
Play a song you love, write down what you’re
grateful for or call a friend.
3. Complaining is a habit.
The best way to change the habit is to witness it
and then chose to see it differently.
How to stop Complaining?
“Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of
thorns, be happy the thorn bush has roses.”
~Proverb
1. Change the way of your thinking.

5. Much like the quote above, we are bothered first by the
thorns in the rose bush instead of being marvelled by
the sight of the beautiful roses.
This requires a new practice of being mindful. When you
find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment
about something or someone, stop and force yourself to
say something positive instead. Enlist the help of a
cheerful friend to stop you when you complain and help
you to see the positive in the situation.
2. Share your feelings
Constantly ignoring your negative thoughts could add
up. If you are really going through a rough time, don’t be
afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family
member or see a therapist. Don’t feel ashamed if you
need to talk through negative feelings.
3. Practice yoga.

6. Yoga focuses on breathing, movement, and meditation
and helps you to control your mind and body. Our minds
often race in a million directions. Yoga can help you
calm your racing thoughts and be more positive with
your intentions.
4. Train yourself to be less judgmental.
Once you stop judging people without knowing their
stories, you will most likely complain less about the
things people do.
5. Make a list of things you’re grateful for.
Stopping for a minute and thinking of all the great things
and amazing people in your life will probably put any
silly complaints you had to rest.
6. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Next time you’re with your friends, family, or co-workers
and engaged in a complaint fest, speak up or quiet

7. down. Depending on the crowd, either speak up to stop
the complaining and change the subject to something
sunnier or simply be quiet and don’t complain yourself.
7. Accept responsibility.
If something is bothering you, either fix it or accept that
nothing can be done right now, so why complain?
Complaining is a passive activity. Change that
complaining into action to solve the problem or simple
accept it and give your mind something else to focus on.
8. Find what makes you happy.
Sometimes this list can be easy, full of hobbies you
enjoy. Sometimes it requires deeper introspection. Are
you constantly complaining about your job? Maybe it is
time to make the hard decision to move on to another
job or career. Uncover what your biggest complaints are
about and see if you can change the situation to make
you happy.

8. 9. Take care of yourself.
Stress and a busy lifestyle can often take over our lives
and break down anyone’s positive spirit. Take time out
from your life for just you. Make sure you get to see that
movie you were dying to watch, take a hot bath, head to
your exercise class, get a manicure, play sports, or do
whatever relaxes and energizes you. It could just put
you in a new frame of mind.
10. Simply ask yourself when you open your
mouth: would you rather complain or be happy?

9. Choose happiness, focusing on the positive,
and being kind always! It is your choice and
no one else’s.
