Stressing and complaining will change nothing. Take action, make a change, and never look back.

My older sister once scolded me about complaining and said almost exactly this. I’ve remembered the concept the entire time since. Do you struggle with complaining? How do you fight it?

It is soooo easy to complain, which escalates into negativity. I hear my complaining and try to rein it in by following it up with a positive comment in hopes of neutralization. It’s even harder when complaining is the norm in the work environment.
You’re right about environment – it’s much easier to complain when everyone else is. Suddenly it becomes the acceptable thing to do.
I came across a saying in someone’s blog today: don’t complain unless you can be the change. Kinda like the Ghandi saying of be the change you want to see.
