    Study Notes

    Complaining vs Gratitude

    • Complaining can be helpful with the right perspective, and it can be turned into solutions.
    • Instead of mindlessly complaining, think of one or two solutions to the complaint.
    • The "no complaining rule" suggests that you shouldn't complain unless you identify solutions to the complaint.
    • Complaining can be used as a signal to recognize when you're feeding the "negative dog" and then think of solutions to feed the "positive dog" instead.
    • Ask yourself what you want, what will make you happy, and what positive actions you can take to rectify the complaint.

    Turning Complaints into Solutions

    • Every complaint represents an opportunity to turn something negative into positive.
    • Complaining can be used as a catalyst for positive change and positive action in your life, work, and the world.
    • You can choose different strategies to feed the "positive dog", depending on the situation or moment.
    • Replacing complaints with gratitude and turning complaints into solutions are two different strategies to feed the "positive dog".
