Are You Problem-Focused or Possibility-Focused? How to Change What You’re Training Yourself to See

Do you ever catch yourself telling the same frustrating story for the third time before the day's even over? This week, I'm talking about how to stop complaining, and I'm counting myself in. Somebody cuts you off, you hit a red light, then another, and by the time you park you're telling a friend about it like it was the worst day of your life. By the third telling, you've started rehearsing it, and that's how chronic complaining begins. I explain what your reticular activating system has to do with it and why your brain keeps finding more.  If you've been wondering how to stop being negative, I'm never going to ask you to slap an affirmation on something that hurts. We start with how to feel your feelings, then how to stop dwelling on things once you can tell feeling a feeling from feeding it, and I share how to sit in a room full of complaining without getting pulled in.  In this episode, you'll learn: What your reticular activating system has to do with seeing the same car everywhere How to process emotions in a healthy way, pillow screaming included Where the answer to “Why do I complain so much?” begins  Where the line falls in venting vs complaining How to stop ruminating on a story you've already told 10 times How to stop gossiping at the table without announcing you're done with it What the 24-hour experiment asks of you before you try to stop complaining Whether you retell a bad day until it feels worse or keep wondering how to stop complaining about everything, this episode gives you room to feel it all and then choose what your brain goes looking for next. Grab your popcorn. Let's get naked.    Here's to feeling it all and choosing what you look for next, Gina  Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ginamarie_coach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedwealthywoman Website: http://www.wickedwealthywoman.com/
