Couldn’t agree more
I’m using 2020 to put all the things I’ve learnt over the years to use. Let my creativity flow & decrease worry and stress

What a perfect description... Remember to release your problems. Holding onto them and reliving them over and over will not solve anything. Learn from the problem and then move on

Lending complaints go
This story reminded me not to complain repeatedly about the same problems. I found this meditation appropriate for me call me since dwelling on complaints it’s something with which I often struggle. I have a proclivity overanalyze negative situations when they when they arise, regularly reiterating what I could have done to fix them. This is even in the case for circumstances sometimes beyond my control. This story examines the affects complaining about the same issues constantly and the people around us. The Bad habit repetitive complaining, Like a joke too often told  causes others to  losing interest in what we have to say. I it does not gain you any new friends. By way of analogy, Who among us has not change the channel after hearing The same bad news multiple times in the single day? Similarly, it is important to remember that The world moves On from our problems much faster then we do. I will keep this in mind whenever I feel the urge to repeatedly do well I need complaint future call Matt especially now since I have this story to listen to and this reflection to look back on. I am grateful for the folks who work for this app for putting the truck together. It has allowed me do you seriously consider how my repetitive complaining behavior affects others. Thank you for reinforcing this lesson and allowing me to reflect on it. I am also grateful for the community on this app for taking the time to read this post. I hope everyone it’s OK happy, and well.

Change your perspective
Complaining about the same things over and over again does nothing for you or whoever is listening. Do one small thing to change your perspective and you could move mountains! Small actions make a BIG difference.

So true
I have been on the receiving end of this, and I have done it myself in the past. If I am crying about the same problems, I need to change. Just like if I was a comedian and people were tired of hearing the same joke. I would change the routine.

Repeating
It's like a skip in a vinyl record. Over and over again. I feel better now and I know what to do with my recurrent thoughts. One in particular. It has lessened down to almost zero thanks to Aura. I enjoyed the joke analogy. I've never understood since I was a young girl why certain people are just miserable. Complainers. Or "oh no, the sky is falling!" like the story of Chicken Little. I've often thought, what an awful way to live. To always think the worst. Thank you, Irene

Repeating complaints give them power over the present moment and do not fix whatever the issues was. After initially processing problems - then turning them into complaints is like feeding a fire with oxygen and the complaints are given a license to grow and you relive things that were painful again and again. I only recently figured this out. It can help shift your perspective to be more positive.

Same thing
I learned to not keep repeating same problem because then I don’t pay attention and neither does anyone else.

My brother once told me…
Perhaps the only wise thing my brother ever said to me was at a moment when my heart felt completely broken. “What good is crying going to do? Does it solve the problem? No… it doesn’t. Does it make you feel better? Likely ‘no’ as well… Then why waste time and energy doing something that is proven to do nothing for your situation?”
