Day 93

Day 93: Real Time
Day 2: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


I made another road trip yesterday, so stopped at the local library and checked out Will Bowen’s book, A Complaint Free World, on CD.

Again.

I’ve listened to it twice before, and have also read the book. But I always glean more from it. I was reminded that it takes an average of 4 – 6 months for people to achieve 21 days complaint free. So, I guess I’m not out of the ordinary at 93 days. That’s good, because I feel stymied by my efforts much of the time.

I heard Will discuss that we each know whether a particular statement we make was a complaint or not. I have experienced this myself over the past 3 months. Friends will say they didn’t think something I had said was actually complaint. But I know what I meant and how I felt when I spoke the words. I can't lie to me.

I travelled to Central Florida to get ready to train teachers today on the curriculum I help write each year. I arrived safely, with no problems encountered along the way. I had a great dinner with a friend as we caught up on one another's lives. I spoke in the context of what I wanted to happen rather than how things might have not gone quite the way I wanted or expected over the past 24 hours.

I just have to stay focused on that tuning fork for the universe. Only positive thoughts allowed. All will be fine today, too.

Day 2.
