The One Habit That Keeps You Stuck
The One Habit That Keeps You Stuck (And How to Break Free)
Here’s something I’ve learned in the past few days—
Stop complaining.
I know, easier said than done. But hear me out.
You can either change or keep complaining. You can’t do both. The energy you put into venting about your situation is energy you could be using to change it.
And here’s the hard truth: Complaining only creates more of the same.
I realized I was getting bored of my own stories—the same frustrations, the same stuckness, the same patterns. So I did something radical.
I shut my mouth and opened the door to change.
A Tiny (Yet Powerful) Win
I’m also celebrating a small personal achievement. It might seem minuscule to others, but to me, it’s a big deal.
I’m not ready to share the details yet—maybe one day I will. But for now, I’m taking a moment to acknowledge myself.
And I want you to do the same.
What if, instead of complaining, you took one small step toward change today?
But What If Complaining Feels Justified?
I get it. Some situations feel unfair, exhausting, or completely out of our control. And venting can feel like relief.
But here’s the thing—does it actually change anything? Or does it just keep you stuck?
What if, instead of focusing on what’s wrong, you asked:
What’s one action I can take right now?
Who do I need to be to shift this?
What’s possible beyond this problem?
Your Challenge: Try It for 24 Hours
For the next 24 hours, catch yourself every time you complain—even if it’s just in your head.
Instead of feeding the complaint, redirect it. Ask a better question. Look for a new possibility.
And if you notice a shift (even a small one), share it in the comments. I’d love to hear what changes for you.
