Venting isn’t a #strategy.
It’s a habit that trains your mind to stay stuck.
“Don’t be overheard complaining — not even to yourself.” – #MarcusAurelius
Everyone’s talking about mental health at work.
But here’s something we don’t discuss:
→ Complaining keeps you in the problem.
→ It rarely leads to action.
Here’s how to break the cycle:
Notice your inner voice.
↳ “This always happens to me” → “What can I control?”
Swap moaning for movement.
↳ Action feels better than attention.
Stop expecting fairness.
↳ Expecting life to be fair is a fast track to frustration.
Don’t confuse talking with solving.
↳ Most complaints are just disguised avoidance.
Set a limit.
↳ Vent for 2 minutes. Then get back to work.
The people who grow the fastest?
They don’t waste time explaining the problem.
They use that time to fix it.
