Whenever something bad happens, everyone expresses their disappointment about that situation. This is repeated whenever the same things happen again. And so, whenever things do not go your way you keep complaining about the circumstances and the situation.

Very soon, you will become adept at complaining, protesting and whining, because practice may not be perfect, but it builds myelin – a microscopic nerve substance that adds much greater speed and accuracy to thoughts and movements. According to studies, myelin is like a muscle, except that instead of strengthening your body, it strengthens nerve pathways related to a particular skill. Although your neural pathways may not be equipped to make value judgments, repeating an action over and over again – whether positive or negative, can help you acquire a skill or habit.

However, if those actions are always complaining and feeling negative, you will be creating a destructive skill.

Repeated complaining releases cortisol

Experts say that when you grumble, the release of the stress hormone cortisol triggers a chain reaction in the brain that has significant short- and long-term effects. When cortisol increases, it causes a persistent state of stress that impairs cognitive function, reduces your brain’s ability to think critically and affects memory.

The hippocampal part of your brain – which is primarily responsible for memory and decision making, is also affected as you continue to fuss over things – negatively impacting its structure as well as its function, which can lead to your behavior. Changes.

Additionally, whenever the neurons in your brain cells become activated due to negative behavior, they eventually begin to form small gaps across the ends, allowing electrical or chemical signals to pass from one neuron to another – over time. There is a delay and muscle memory problems also arise. ,

What should you do instead of complaining?,

According to experts, it is important to first recognize how you will react to anything that is not predetermined – because how you react to any situation is always a choice. So, if something bad happens to you or around you, you can always find a way to react calmly.

Doctors also believe that focusing on problems instead of solutions causes the prefrontal cortex – the area of ​​your brain involved in logical thinking and decision making – to become less active. This makes it difficult for you to think clearly or resolve issues related to your complaint. Therefore, focus more on problem-solving rather than reacting.

According to experts, the best way to stop complaining is to journal about the things that frustrate you, both the problem and your feelings about it. Then, consider your feelings about it and look for the positives in your situation.
