New research reveals that constant complaining does more than annoy those around you—it can actually weaken your brain.

Every time you focus on what’s wrong, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which interfere with neural function and reduce the brain’s ability to adapt and learn.

The impact is not just mental. Elevated cortisol levels can impair memory, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.

Over time, a habit of negativity can make your brain less resilient, affecting emotional regulation and overall cognitive performance. Essentially, the more you complain, the harder it becomes for your brain to handle challenges effectively.

Shifting your focus from problems to solutions isn’t just good advice—it’s backed by science.

Practising gratitude, positive thinking, and constructive problem-solving can lower stress hormones, strengthen neural pathways, and help your brain remain agile and adaptable throughout life.

Fewer cases were submitted than predicted; many were submitted without documented symptoms. Cases may have been missed as symptoms were not documented or misdiagnosed reducing the calculated incidence.

Progesterone used with cerclage associated with a 30% reduction in ptb. Simple and safe, probably should just use it? https://t.co/PyGtf6kbJA

Women and girls are being targeted with horrific violence in Gaza. Over 28,000 women and girls have been killed over the last 2 years. Violence against women and girls should never be weaponised. This crosses every red line. Join Red Line for Gaza https://t.co/Xtx6NCxned

Today, we've written to @DavidLammy calling on the Government to take immediate action to prevent famine in Gaza.

As Israel continues their blockade of humanitarian aid, 1 in 5 people face imminent starvation and hospitals are running out of medicines fast.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Hatred and violence are our common enemies, not each other. I strongly urge leaders in India and Pakistan to take steps to de-escalate tensions, protect civilians — especially children — and unite against the forces of division.

I send my deepest condolences to the loved ones of all innocent victims in both countries.

I am thinking of all my friends and family – and all the educators, advocates and girls we work with – in Pakistan during this dangerous time.

The international community must act now to promote dialogue and diplomacy. Peace is the only way forward for our collective security and prosperity.
