Venting decompresses negative emotional energy but also trains the mind to continuously think negative thoughts without addressing the root problem, causing a cycle of venting. To tackle this, it is crucial to take action after venting even if it's small. Identifying Vassanas - habitual thought patterns that hinder problem-solving by creating fixed negative beliefs like 'I've tried, it doesn't work' - is essential. Observing these mental habits and allowing them to run their course without stressing can help break the pattern. Venting can be healthy if it leads to action, but mindlessly venting can solidify negative habits, making it harder to address issues effectively as the mind gets habituated to venting instead of problem-solving.
