WHY WE NEED TO COMPLAIN ...

WHY WE NEED TO COMPLAIN ...

(An extract from the Peter Collins Article Archive of over 3,000 Articles gathered from over 40 years of Sales Research).

WE NEED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE COMPLAINING ISSUE AND TURN IT AROUND

Let’s get one thing straight. Not one person is born a complainer. Complaining is a habit unhappy people fall into and then choose to hold onto this unsavoury habit. Most children are immediately corrected by their parents once complaining becomes an issue. As adults we understand any bad behavioural pattern can have disastrous consequences once it becomes habitual.

For the child’s sake we put a stop to it. But when an adult starts to form the same habit and becomes a habitual complainer and may simply avoid the person, or just shrug it off by saying, “Oh that’s just John on one of his bad days,” or, “That’s just John being John.” We know we don’t like it, but then seem to tolerate it until it becomes an issue no-one wants to have anything to do with.

Whenever we fail to do what we want to do we feel the pressure of then failed attempt and the frustration that goes with it. Failure is failure and when we dwell on the things we failed at, as most of us often will, any on-going frustration based on regret can cause us physical and mental stress. Then any subsequent rotten attitude caused by frustration, will not only delay success, but creates more problems by damaging the immune system. Heart disease and ulcers are just two of the diseases directly caused by stress. such as, we become susceptible to all manner of other diseases because of a weakened immune system.

What we need to understand is that to a person complaining is worse than doing nothing. They find that it becomes second nature to them because of the attention they receive from others. It’s almost like a power thing with some people. But the more they complain, the more they dig the complaining habit deeper and deeper. Then the more we complain, the more increasingly difficult to climb out of the ditch we’ve created for ourselves.

To loosen the grip of this vicious habit, we need to become aware of our complaining, take stock and realise the negative way we are affecting others by our actions and stop it in its tracks. Then every time we catch ourselves complaining (about anything) we need to immediately look for something positive to say. In most cases it’s just a matter of replacing a bad habit with a good one.
