Ok so I read in Cafe Gratitude’s book to try
NO COMPLAINING
FOR 21 DAYS.
Not even once.
If you mess up and complain then start over at day one.
Not complaining does not mean not talking about problems, that’s fine, just no whining or real complaining.
You know the difference.
I am starting tomorrow May 15.
WHO’S IN?
Complaining, like all thought patterns, is not mere observation. Complaining is a creative act. The more you complain, the more you summon your creative energies to attract something to complain about. Your complaints may seem fully justified, but realize that whenever you complain, you are placing your order for more of the same. Complaining is not merely about the past. Whenever you make a complaint, realize you are setting an intention — a goal — for the future.
Note that complaining is not the same thing as having a negative emotional reaction. That first-response negative reaction is OK. Complaining is the act of reinforcing what you don’t want and intending even more of it. It’s the act of dwelling on the negative -Steve Pavlina
