Complaining as a misguided creative act
We’ve been going through a heat wave, and of course some people have been complaining, even though we waited a long time this year for summer weather.
Most of us know that complaining is not the most evolved behavior we could have.
Yet it’s quite tempting to do because it provides some kind of emotional relief; it’s quite addictive actually.
I for one am committed to reforming my ways and refusing to give myself that kind of relief because it sends the wrong message to my subconscious, to the universe, and to people who hear my words.
I see complaining as a misguided creative act.
It’s stating what isn’t working for me, in the vague hope that by doing so, I will create a better situation.
The best I can hope for is to let off some steam and maybe get some sympathy.
The most likely outcome is that I’ll irritate people and dissipate my creative energy without getting any positive outcome.
Sure, I’ll fall off the wagon once in a while and banter about the humidity.
But my intention is to keep my complaint reflex on a short leash.

Helene,
This reminds me of a comment from one of my clients. She told her her grandmother had said, “Honey, it’s not the heat that bothers me–it’s the humanity.”
And isn’t complaining like trying to teach a pig to sing? It just annoys the pig and doesn’t help, anyway. (Did I just botch that saying?)
