June 17, 2009PowerPhrase: Your complaint reflects a yearning
After Jody finished complaining about a friend she was having issues with, Evan told her,
* Your complaint reflects a yearning. Figure out what that yearning is and then see what you can do to fulfill that yearning in the most nourishing way possible.
This reminds me of one of my PowerPhrase Principles: to talk about what you want more than what you don’t want. My new book Speak Strong tells you how to do that.
Evan’s next question is,
* What are you doing for you?
Many complaints dissolve when people take better care of themselves.
