Every week Jody Hahn starts and ends her classes with a thought-provoking quote. Here is one of her recent quotes:"We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy." Dennis Prager
Jody says:
"We always get to choose our viewpoint. By complaining we are choosing to focus and bring into view those things that we don't like. When we are constantly thinking of things or people or situations that are unhappy then it stands to reason that we are feeling unhappy. Try to notice when you complain or when those around you complain. How do you feel? You can think unhappy thoughts and the emotion will follow so do the opposite, think happy thoughts so that emotion will follow."
