“Complaining is the absolute worst possible thing you could do for your health or your wealth. The worst! ... For the next seven days, I challenge you not to complain at all.”

complaining is too automatic for me. happens before i even realize i’m doing it most of the time. i want to try to practice selective complaining and being aware of what i can do to fix the problem instead of automatically complaining.

I think that if people complain less then they’re more fun to be around. It makes you a better friend if you’re not constantly moaning about your problems and listen to and help other people. With less complaining there’s more time for fun!

still doing okay I think.
still don’t find myself complaining just to say something. I admit that I am still complaining when something is truly wrong, but I think i’m still on the right track!

woo hoo!
go me!

ok. this week was complaint central for me.
it was really aggrivating and too much work so unfortunately the complaints just came spilling out as i pulled an allnighter to finish the assignment.

but now that it’s over, i’m doing okay again.
helps that i just seem to be in a better frame of mind these days :)

Well, i think i’m still doing alright. and when I do find myself saying something negative that might be interpreted as complaining, I try to add on something positive on the end of it at least. :D
yay progress!

I don't have a bad habit of complaining, but... 5 months ago

By complaining I give away my power to whomever or whatever it is I’m complaining about. Maybe something happened at work, but there I am after hours still giving away my time and energy by rehashing the complaint. Not only do I give away my power through complaining, I also make myself less happy than I would otherwise be. Complaining gets me focused upon the negative. Surely, I can find better things with which to occupy my mind. Starting right now I am going to complain less.

Oh hey, wow – I really don’t consider myself to be a big complainer anymore. :) I can’t even remember when I would have last just complained for the sake of complaining, so to speak. I do still complain, sometimes, but I think it’s not bad anymore. It’s just that normal sort of humane complaining now. :D And I’ve learnt to put a positive spin on things.
I even asked my mother about this over the phone just now and she agreed with me. There, we have confirmation! :D Goal achieved!

I’m marking this as completed. I think I complain less than I used to. At least, less vocally, and I don’t post quite as many self-indulgently whiny rants on LiveJournal. Of course, I don’t post much of anything on LiveJournal, because if I’m not complaining, I don’t have much to say.

I can’t say I don’t complain at all. In fact, compared to other people, I’m probably more of a complainer than most. But, as I said, I believe I complain less than I used to.

Besides, I’m getting tired of looking at this goal on my 43Things list.
