Complaining. Argh.
It is so easy to go through the day complaining about all types of things-the weather (it’s always too hot or wet or cold), the clients, the computer system, the staff, the management.
But complaining, and getting others to join in with you, is a way of continuing to keep yourself tied down to negative thoughts and emotions.
For today, I challenge you to not complain about anything!
If you feel the need to complain, stop, take a breath, try to recognize why that situation invokes your need to complain and find a way to breath through it and let it go. Make a list of the things you really want to complain about and see if there is a common underlying thread. Maybe they are situations in which you are feeling powerless. Maybe they are situations that challenge beliefs about the world or yourself.
Sometimes finding the common thread helps you to be able to play with ways of changing your beliefs so those situations do not irritate you any longer. We will be discussing ways of changing those irritating situations/thoughts into better feeling ones as we move forward. The first step is noticing what you want to complain about and what is the underlying belief.
So for this week, try noticing what situations cause you to complain the most. When you have some quiet time, see if there are any common threads to the areas.
What sets off your complaining mood? I’d love to hear from you.
