Day 47: Real Time
Day 2: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey
I walked my road without complaining yesterday. Just for the day.
And I made it successfully to the next junction…..which is today.
I had a morning conversation at my office with someone I respect and admire a great deal, a person I’ve known a long time in several capacities. We were catching each other up on our schedules and lives in general, the kind of interaction so many of us have as we settle in at work.
And I almost fell off the cliff again into the cesspool of negative conversation. BUT….I pulled myself back from the edge just in time. I actually saw myself do it, the visual image was that strong.
I kept that mental picture close to me all day as a reminder when I was tempted to begin the loop of complaining that has become so familiar and, unfortunately, so comfortable for me in recent months. Whatever it was, it worked.
Day 2 stretches in front of me with much to do, the beginning of a holiday weekend.
Only 24 hours to maneuver, complaint-free.

Don't know if this is in your book, but I keep hearing this on the radio: Someone did a study and concluded we spend the minimum equivalent of 15 full days a year complaining. So, you only have to spend the equivalent of 6 more days not complaining than you are sure to spend complaining, if you are an average person. Maybe that will make life a little easier for you now. Everyday you don't complain, you are reducing the amount of time you spend complaining each year, even if you slip up. Factor that in too. Just trying to help. Bye!
