Complaining makes you feel a little better for a while.

Getting Used

But because you feel better, you may get used to a bad place.

Small Shoe

Even if you keep saying "Ouch, ouch" about a shoe that is too small, the shoe stays small.

⚡ TRY IT
The too-small shoe
"My shoe is too small…" "Ouch, ouch, ouch…" "Too painful! I can't walk!" "Phew. Complaining feels a little better." "It's fine… I'm used to it." "Wow! My feet are free!"
😣 Ouch
😑 Used to it
📅 Days in the small shoe: 1
Walk, complain, walk, complain… What happens?
🎉 You changed it fast. Happy feet!
🎉 Free at last! Complaining made the small shoe OK… for too long.
Change It

How about complaining just a little, and thinking about a way to change the shoe?
