This is really hard right now since the daily news is unstintingly negative. But it is so worth the effort. Go one day
without complaining, even better, go a week. If this is hard for you to
accomplish, it’s time to make some changes in your life. Think positively, live
in the present, and appreciate where you are and who you are. Today is a gift,
accept and embrace it. Author Mark Bowen wrote a fantastic book on this very
topic which I have turned too when I need a reminder, as all of do now and
again. My copy came with a bracelet, a simple way to monitor how often you complain
and helps you track your progress toward becoming “complaint Free.” Put the
bracelet and every time you complain switch it to the other wrist. The goal is
to go 21 consecutive days without complaining or switching the bracelets. It is
harder than you might think and I was a bit shocked at what a complainer I
turned out to be. It was a really good
exercise for me and I highly recommend it. I benefited enormously and I suspect
the people around me did, too!
