I’ve read the recent entry about this goal and I think I had the same problem. I was surrounded by other people who also complained a lot, so once I said something about solving the problem instead of complaining but that suggestion was immediately swapped for another complaint. Suppose complaining is a way to direct the blame on anything but yourself kinda thing?
I don’t know if I can do this entirely – its just one of those things that people all do without even knowing sometimes. So I will try to “stop complaining so much”
Then I realise that a lot of conversations especially at work and school start from complaining…
“Argh, this homework sucks!”
or
“Man, I can’t stand this horrible weather!”

I wish I could fill a book up with thoughts alone but I’m not so sure – I STILL keep trying to censor myself from things I don’t want to be caught thinking – even though I suppose lots of other people around the world do this too. What I DO do, is write down the more obvious thoughts that don’t seem to too hard to grasp if I said it out loud.

Am currently participating in the embodiment livejournal community which is sort of like this. You have to make an entry ever day of the year even just a few words. I’m slipping up a bit I admit >< But I’ll try and catch up. I think I’m still censoring myself from my thoughts because I fear someone will try to read the book if they find it …
