When I find myself complaining in daily life, I see it as my Judge-Your-Neighbor worksheet.
Most of the time, I notice it as it happens, make a note of it, and later explore it either informally or more formally through The Work.
As I notice complaining happening, or just the impulse to complain, I chose to either switch out of complaining mode, or I chose to allow it to unfold further so I get to see more of what is left to explore and digest.
Doing this has another side-benefit. It allows me to recognize the complaints of others as their Judge-Your-Neighbor worksheet, and it reminds me of the clarity and innocence that is there waiting for them (and me!) on the other side of the confusion.

It may happen on its own, especially with people I feel comfortable complaining to….! And I may also notice it happening, and chose to either switch out of complaining mode, or continue so I get to see more of what is left to explore and digest.
