Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Thursday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: No More Negativity
A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.
This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.
Hopefully, these tips will help steer you toward a more positive mindset, become more aware of triggers that bring out negative emotions and focus less on gossipy problems and more on positive, happy stories.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- I don’t think I really need to tell you that complaining brings negativity into your life.
- It’s a pretty easy concept to understand & it’s a negative action in itself.
- I want you to know that complaining is an ego boost for yourself.
- The main reasons people complain is to feel righted in whatever the situation is, feel powerful when you initially feel weak & superior over whatever wronged you.
- But just know these feelings are an illusion. Complaining is not going to make you superior.
- Also, no one enjoys listening to others complain, so consider that next time you go on a complaining rant. If you want to rant, make sure it has structure & purpose, not open-ended negativity.
- Some easy ways to reduce your amount of complaining and continue to eliminate negativity in your life is first to become aware of what is coming out of your mouth.
- Becoming more mindful is a skill that will help with many things in life, but specifically with complaining, it should help you reduce what you actually say.
- It’s the simple concept of think before you speak.
- By being aware of what you are saying more often, you may realize you complain more than you think & this will help you nip this problem in the bud.
- Also be aware of who you surround yourself with. If you find that you are spending time with people that complain a lot, always have something negative to say or just are injecting anything positive into your time together, you may want to rethink how often you are spending time with them.
- And don’t feed into other’s complaining. Complaining shouldn’t be an event.
- If you find yourself really wanting to get your complaint out, start by reflecting back on what went wrong before you talk negatively about it. By voicing your concerns & frustrations & reflecting on what those things mean to you or how those things affect you, it becomes easier to problem solve those things & not turn it into a negative experience.
- If you find that you are stuck in the situation & all you want to do is complain to voice your negative feeling, consider changing your mindset & accepting the situation for what it is.
- I know this doesn’t sound fun, but sometimes that is all you can do & having a neutral mindset is better & more useful than a negative one.
- Negative mindsets aren’t going to help you problem solve once you have an opportunity to do so.
- Lastly, instead of complaining, take action (if you can) and ma
