Stay Complaint Free for 21 days

My bracelet hasn’t switched wrists, but it should have, so I’m switching it now.

The most challenging thing to suppress my complaints about is the flu. Being sick feels like I should be entitled to whine a bit more. Maybe that’s because it’s socially tolerated when sick people whine.

Gossip is another tough one. I hate to admit it, but I do gossip. Only when I’m with certain people, but I do get caught up in it.

Tomorrow that bracelet is staying on my left wrist. No switching! :)

There’s some part of me that enjoys complaining. I noticed that even when I sense that I’m about to complain, I still complain anyways because he gives me some kind of momentary pleasure.

Part of me wants to stop complaining, but there is another part of me that is addicted to complaining like a drug.

Why do we do things we are certain that we will regret? In my case, it’s for that quick payoff. My habits and my emotions are more powerful then my good conscience.

Tomorrow is a new day, and I hope to make it 100% complained free.

Today I finally got a pack of purple bracelets from acomplaintfreeworld.org! :-)

Ironically, I was on the verge of writing them to complain for taking such a long time to send the bracelets.

I told my friend and I would pay him one dollar for every time he caught me complaining. Fortunately, he never managed to catch me complaining once, but I on the other hand, caught myself complaining three times.

There was a time when I was doing really good and not complaining. It’s funny how I can become good at something, then by lack of use of that something I lose the skill, and when I try to learn it again later in life, an even worse at it than I was before I became good at it.

As it stands, I mean the unconscious incompetence phase, meaning that I am not very aware of all the complaints that I’m making, and I am not skilled at choosing more positive words over complaints.
