How to stop acting like a spoiled child

We can as much as necessary to declare their proactivity, setting goals and ensuring that to aspire to. But if at the same time we whine and complain, do we spend our years with dignity?

If you do not believe that complain about everything, remember your day. Did you even in the shower did not complain about all sorts of stuff today? Jams, weather, overcooked steak, cold coffee. It seems we can infinitely long time to sort out the reasons for complaint.

But we do not always complain only on external factors, no. We complain and the same. The fact that we do not have the time or money, or just something missing.

It turns out that we create for ourselves a bunch of unpleasant feelings, complaining that we have no control. What's the use complaining, spoiling the mood and you or others? Is not your life would be better if you left that can not change alone, and would receive pleasure from the fact that there is?

The idea is not new, but it really is fun and happiness - all this within us. And an understanding of how often and to what we used to complain about - the first step to an "effective" life. Catch yourself in the complaint and ask yourself what you prefer - to complain or be happy?

A couple of steps to help stop the whining:

1. Understand how important it is to celebrate their complaints and unnecessary criticism of both himself and others. Just stop and check what you are complaining about.
2. After that, ask yourself: Is there anything that you can fix this situation? If so - just do, without complaint. If not - you are wasting your time in vain, instead of having fun.

Advise is always easier than doing, but even if the habit is not to complain about there only through the years, it's worth it. Even a small reduction in the number of complaints will improve your life.
