By exaggerating first-world problems into absurdity, we expose their triviality.
Lo que dice la ciencia
Cómo empezar ahora mismo
- Identify a minor annoyance (e.g., slow wifi, too many snacks).

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
My 'reverse complaint' journal started as a joke but became transformative. Writing 'I hate how my fridge is too full' during financial stress reminded me I wasn't going hungry. Now I do it whenever I feel complainy.
