Question Posted Friday February 18 2005, 6:45 pm

I complain a LOT. And half the time I do it without meaning to...and it's starting to annoy me, let alone the people around me. Any tips on how I can stop complaining, or at least reduce the amount of complaining I do?
I whinge about all sorts of things, from the weather to homework to the fact that I'm tired/hungry/bored...whatever. It sucks, I feel like I don't have a good word to say about anything any more...I want to be positive again, but how?

Ugh, I know your feeling. Think of this: People have it worse than you sometimes. I know it seems weird, but it helps. ♥

before you start to complain, think about what you're going to say & just .. DON'T SAY IT. try & say something positive instead, and hopefully you'll stop thinking about complain-y things.

Everything you're about to complain about think about the good in it and say it out loud. Never the bad, thats actually called being optimistic, lol, I'm a silly head, anyways always look for the good in everything, like if its a rainy day, just try saying "well, at least the flowers are going to grow, and it will be more beautiful on a sunny day." Even if its stupid, like that one!

Watch some feel-good films; read some feel-good books; buy a joke book; do anything that'll cheer you up.
Alternatively, have an elastic band (or maybe several) on your wrist and whenever you complain (about something trivial, anyway) snap it. Eventually you will get used to not complaining as much. Good luck!

Try to think about WHAT your complaining about at first. If it really isn't that big of a deal, just drop it. I use to be the same way. I would try to wake up and think about the GOOD things to start with, it should make everything alot easier to compliment on. Besta Luck

Before you know that you are about to complain about something, think before you do it and try to distract yourself. I have to agree with angieroonie and that if you try to snap a hair elastic or just a rubber band right before you are about to complain, this will help you not complain anymore. Don't worry, it's alright to be like this and this will eventually die out. Hope I helped :)

Think before you speak. Everytime you go to complain, bite your tongue. Or you could use a rubber band. Snap it when you go to complain.

angieroonie answered Friday February 18 2005, 6:49 pm:
the good old fashioned way!!! get a rubber band and whenever you start thinking how much things suck, snap it on your wrist. every time you do this you brain takes note and before you know it your brain will associate pain with negative thoughts. good luck!
