How to Properly Whine

in #life-whining5 years ago

I got an email recently where someone asked me if it was ever okay to whine.

I asked him if I could answer the question & share his story thru a steemit blog. He said he was cool with it.

The story was pretty hectic.

Girlfriend dumped him, he got chewed out by his boss, some dude cut him off traffic making him go road rage mode & he ended up getting a speeding ticket. Sounds like a bad day.

In a situation like this, what do you do?

My advice for you isn't to stick your chest out and just be a man.

In order for you to tackle a moment like this, you need to acknowledge what happened.

Is it ever okay to whine?

Sure, but there is a catch..

  1. Make sure it's a big enough scenario to whine about.

This story falls into that category.

  1. Go into a car or solo spot.

  2. Whine & say whatever you want.

'Got it, that's it?'

Nope! One final step..

  1. Recite 10 things you are grateful for.

You my friend, have turned a very negative activity into an opportunity for growth.

You have cleared the air with what's annoying you rather than bottling up.

And you have bought awareness into what you are grateful for.

I call this car therapy.

Whining isn't always going to be needed, but certain times we get hit hard by life.

And in these moments, whining to yourself, by yourself, actually allows you to build a stronger relationship with your internal world.

You leave the car becoming a better friend to yourself than you were before.

You always need to have your back, thru the good & the bad.

Car therapy allows you to do that.

Follow this 4 step process the next time you are having a bad day like the one described here.

Always find ways to stay emotionally intelligent & turn the dark into light.
