I detest whining and complaining, but I too am very capable of it and accomplished at it. Women often like to talk out our problems. But there’s a fine line between talking something out and simply whining and complaining about it. I’ve been known to ask an employee or two or four, “Hey, would you like me to get you some cheese to go with that whine?”
Today, however, I found myself dwelling on a vendor who severely disappointed me. Just like I know from experience that worry is a useless emotion, I’ve learned that complaining is a useless expenditure of energy. I needed to follow my own good advice and just stop the mental whining and complaining cold and move on with my day.
How about you? Did you whine and complain at least once already today? And if so, did it give you the results you desired? Or is your energy already depleted?
I don’t always follow my own good advice, but really this advice is some of my best, so I’ll say it again – “Either get the cheese or move on with your day.”
I’m just sayin’
P.S. Comment and share how you break the whining and complaining cycle.
