I very strongly dislike stupid people
I very strongly dislike people with shady agendas
I very strongly dislike anyone feeling as if they are being railroaded
I very strongly dislike feeling like I have a target on my back

Tested

I was just presented with a situation that could've easily been a "bitch-fest". I am happy to say that I conveyed my concerns without bitching, without making specific attacks. I told this person about my 21 day crusade to conquer complaining. Based on other bits of information he had received, he was expecting something completely different from me. I know that I have been part of the problem, I admitted that. But I am done picking at the wound and ready for it to heal. I cannot control anyone else... taking care of me is enough work.

And right now, I am proud of me.

ahhh

It's soooo much harder than I thought. Deep breathe and start again.

It starts now

I saw a story this weekend...
No complaints for 21 days
Which has lead me to A Complaint Free World Org
Your thoughts create your world and your words indicate your thoughts. When you eliminate complaining from your life you will enjoy happier relationships, better health and greater prosperity.


It's all about attitude
“Complaining is not to be confused with informing someone of a mistake or deficiency so that it can be put right. And to refrain from complaining doesn’t necessarily mean putting up with bad quality or behavior. There is no ego in telling the waiter your soup is cold and needs to be heated up—if you stick to the facts, which are always neutral. ‘How dare you serve me cold soup…?’ That’s complaining.”

—Eckhart Tolle, “A New Earth”


I've allowed myself to fall into a HORRIBLE habit of bitching, whining & complaining... not gonna be easy to break it. I'm up for the challenge though. Spring & Summer are my favorite time of year. I intend to use that to my advantage. Now, what to do about a bracelet or visual totem...
