info_outlineDo you ever complain? Why do you do it? Is it because you need to feel loved and supported? Is it serving something? In this episode, I talk briefly about complaining and how it might serve us, but how it can also keep us stuck in a victim mindset. How can we be more aware of the things that cause us strife that we have the power to change? Be aware of the changes you can make, instead of just being stuck in being unhappy. I reference two books in this episode, one is called “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari and the other is called “A Complaint Free World: How to Stop Complaining and Start Enjoying the Life you Always Wanted” by Will Bowen. Both are great reads, I highly recommend!
