Episode 4019: Rachel Jones explores how complaining can become such an automatic habit that we barely notice it shaping our mindset and relationships.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishingminimalism.com/complain-less-appreciate-more/ Quotes to ponder: "It’s so much nicer to be in a place mentally where our thoughts are generally positive." "When you notice a negative or complaining thought, immediately stop and force yourself to say something positive about that situation." "We don’t want to complain all the time and dwell on the crap that happens- but it’s not healthy to pretend it doesn’t happen either." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
