As we have discussed
often, the Foundation for Happiness and Success is Choosing to live your
life with a Positive Mindset. Realizing the wonderful person you are, the
talents you have, and being grateful for these and all the wonderful people in
and outside of your life go a long way towards maintaining a Positive Mindset.
So does realizing that you are in control of YOU, and nobody else - which brings us to complaining...
Complaining (various forms of which are gossiping, criticizing, judging,
etc.) is something pretty much everyone does automatically. One might feel
relieved for a moment but when you really think about it, complaining only adds
to frustration rather than eliminating it, because you control only you -
complaining doesn't change others...
Imagine if the whole world STOPPED complaining? Might the world be a happier, more supportive and loving place? A few years ago, Pastor Will Bowen wrote a book entitled "A Complaint Free World". It is wonderful - in fact, I listen to the book on Audible a couple of times every year. The book talks about complaining as being a bad habit. It talks about Pastor Will's and others' real life experiences, explains the reality that we are 100% responsible for our reactions, and gives us a 21 day process, which millions have used already, to stop complaining. To me, this process can also be used to eliminate most bad habits, period. It uses a prop and a challenge. The prop is a purple wrist bracelet that you move from one wrist to the other every time you complain. The Challenge is to go 21 straight days without switching wrists - without complaining (you start the challenge over every time you do). It is simple (to teach). I won't go into detail here - go to acomplaintfreeworld.org for more information and to order the book (it is a great read) and bracelets.
