How to let go of negativity & complaining + 3 ways of dealing with conflict (E04)
Manage episode 374863697 series 3495706
Today we go in on how to let go of negativity and complaining when it's a very ingrained habit for most of us... I give you the ways in which you can spot you're being negative or you're mindlessly venting without a real purpose to fulfill, because, sorry to burst your bubble but no, complaining has been proven to be counterproductive and negative for you even if you think you feel better after a venting session. We'll learn different ways of dealing with what's bothering you, such as reframing it, taking action to solve it, or accepting it and letting it go, because suppressed anger is not our goal here either! Let's learn to deal with it in a more positive, healthy manner both for us and for everybody around us.
