13 days into the challenge!

So how are you doing with this challenge?

I have used up all of my get out of jail free cards! I think we do complain more then we realise! The hardest thing is to decide if it is a "complaint" or a "stated" fact? I kept saying, this isn't a complaint, it is a fact. But, sometimes I believe that they are both! The best part of the challenge is by sharing that you are doing this challenge, your friends then kindly point out when you are complaining. (Mine have all done it in a nice way!)

So, how is your complaining on a scale of 1 - 10? I find mine gets closer to the 10 when I am in the city and trying to park or trying to find where I am suppose to be. Amazing how your patience just goes right out the window! Will this month's challenge make me a better person? Will it make you a better person? I don't know, but I do believe that by listening to how we talk, what we say and our body language, (I was all hunched over and tense, when I was trying to find a parking place!) we can control the outcome. By allowing yourself to complain, you can ruin your own day. Do you really think that the guy at the Post Office that wouldn't let you out, did it specifically to you? The guy that ran the red on a left turn, so you missed your light, did he do that on purpose, the one meter you found, was broken, was that against you? Yes, yes, yes..., I can hear you all say! Ok, I feel like that at times also, but I find that when I shift the way I think, change my mindset, and don't let things like that effect me, instead I try to make it an adventure, I am happier and more energetic.

So keep up the good work, take it one day at a time, give your self a little more time to get where you are suppose to be and force yourself to smile when instead you want to complain, and who knows, you might just have a great day!!
