S10 EP24: Does Venting Actually Make You Feel Better?

Let’s get this right out there..venting IS complaining. Same
thing. On average people complain 15-30 times per day. Imagine if
we laughed 30 times a day? Ask yourself: does venting really make
you feel better? Venting has been called a healthy behavior but
we are going to challenge that today with some neuroscience. We
agree venting is a behavior…a practiced one! You are practicing
every day who you want to be. Venting carves deep neural pathways
in your brain and shrinks your hypothalamus, which has a direct
correlation to your lifespan.


This episode is so important because it’s about how you interact
with yourself and the world and the energy that you bring and get
back in your relationships. Want to share your experiences? Be
heard? Feel understood? You can do all those things without
damaging your brain. Don’t miss this opportunity for growth.
We’ll tell you how to identify your feelings and release them
with purpose for positive outcomes. Listen for tips on how to
rewire your brain and practice at the person you want to be!
