Study Notes
No Complaining Tools
- The "But" → Positive Technique: This technique transforms complaints into positive thoughts and actions. Replace the complaint with "but" followed by a positive thought or action.
- Example: "I don't like driving to work for an hour but I'm thankful I can drive and that I have a job."
- Example: "I don't like that I'm out of shape but I love feeling great so I'm going to focus on exercising and eating right."
Focus on "Get To" Instead of "Have To"
- Shift your focus from "have to" to "get to." This reframes obligations as opportunities and privileges.
- Instead of "I have to go to work," say "I get to go to work."
- This perspective fosters gratitude and appreciation for the opportunities in your life.
Turn Complaints into Solutions

- Mindless complaining focuses on problems without solutions.
- Justified complaining identifies problems to create solutions.
