Day Three

Day Three: Real Time
Day One: Toward 21 days complaint free



I did it!

I made it through my first totally complaint free day! I want to thank my family and friends, and everyone who helped me along the way…..

Well, maybe that’s a bit dramatic.

But, I do think I appreciate how difficult this is, more so than if I had let myself slide with a few minor complaints. After all, you would never have known, would you?

But I would have known, and I want to do this right.

I caught myself a couple of times today, right on the verge of whining, and pulled back.

Day Two is up tomorrow!

Here’s a question for you as we travel forward toward 21 complaint free days: If I complain in the car while I’m alone, does that count? Kind of like, does a falling tree make a sound in the forest if there’s no one to hear it?

I’m just saying.

“Once you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry, or hard-done-by person. You will then ignore, deny or sabotage the positive in your life.” Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
