Complaints can be categorised into 2 groups, things you can change and things you can't change. If you are able to sort the issue that feel the need to complain about, it's probably not worth the effort to complain. Instead take action, do something about it. Lets say that you're cold.

Rewriting the memory
When we have negative experiences associated with certain events we tend to avoid those experiences moving forward. I think that's a totally normal reaction because of course you don't want to keep having bad experiences. However, what can end up happening is that you limit yourself in the future.

Rational decision makers
When I first heard the term 'sunk costs' I had no idea what it meant. However, I heard it from Seth Godin so I payed attention and came to find that it referred to money that had already been spent (which you can't get back) that should not be considered in future decision making. This … Continue reading Rational decision makers

It might seem strange to be told that accepting something that is difficult, challenging or unwanted will be better than trying to avoid it but it's true. This shift could be related to … Continue reading An unanticipated shift
Becoming the real you
We can be so quick to find ourselves and figure ourselves out that we end up taking on traits, roles and habits to help us feel less lost. We then close ourselves off to experimentation and new ideas, it's too risky. In turn this leads to you becoming a person that isn't really you, it's … Continue reading Becoming the real you
Good enough for right now
Not everything will be perfect and not everything needs to be. Sometimes all you need to do is focus on making something that is good enough for right now. Maybe, you can make it better later or maybe good enough is all that it needs to be. If that's the case, any time spent making … Continue reading Good enough for right now
