Finding Joy in the Hard
Finding Joy in the Hard is a testament to how incredibly powerful we are.
In this daily podcast, I offer two-ten minute episodes: words of inspiration, thought provoking questions to shift from rigid thought patterns and actionable healing tips.
Once or twice a month, I'll offer interviews with people who have found joy in the hard of life. Those who found their way to light, no matter their circumstances.
I'm your host, Suzanne Andora Barron. I've been teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness and mindset for fourteen years. As a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, I teach students how to use the placement of their hands and breath to ease pain and discomfort in their body, support themselves emotionally and balance mind, body and spirit.
Welcome! I'm so excited you're here!
Finding Joy in the Hard
#150 Do you complain a lot?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us don’t think we complain very much — until we actually pay attention.
In today’s episode, I share what I discovered when I started noticing my own complaints, and why these seemingly small moments matter more than we realize. Complaining isn’t just a habit — it creates a subtle contraction in the body that makes it harder for joy to land and stay.
You’ll hear:
- why we rarely notice when we’re complaining
- how complaining tightens the body and shifts our emotional state
- the surprising things my students discovered during a “no complaining” experiment
- why stopping the cycle isn’t about being positive — it’s about giving the body room to feel something new
