I am out for today. It’s simply impossible at work. I only say: formatting in Excel.

I failed miserably. I complained about my messy house and my husband who’s a slob. I honestly couldn’t find any words to turn it positive. Here’s to a new day and starting over.

I totally think this is true. We tend to get in a complaint train so to speak when we are in a group setting.

November 10th day 3
No complaints today but I did get short with my mom for a minute. We both apologized and patched it up within minutes but I need to also work on my quick reactions (warranted or not).

Work is a tough one. I have teammates that come into my office just to complain, and it’s very easy to get sucked in. My day just started but my intention is to encourage positivity. We’ll see how it goes.
Btw…I love excel 
I’m such a nerd.

Had a good day yesterday and no complaints that I could recollect.
Thought some of my workout was going to kill me, literally, but decided whatever doesn’t kill will make me stronger.
Wife is home today so we’ll see how that goes. Lol. We are used to being mostly separated during day then I go to bed early… I will not complain about our differences in tidiness and accept she will get to things at some point, or not

I have been in a rotten mood all day long. I already managed to yell at my daughter and rant to my ex about his communication skills (yeah, I know 
).
So I am in. I really need this challenge.
I don’t think it is possible to completely eliminate negative thinking and mental complaints just popping up.
But:
The very moment I realize I am in complain mode, to switch it up, instead of following it. Instead of going on, I will put my energy into trying to find the part I can smile at, or at least trying to breath through the emotion.
That is what I am going to focus on.
Thanks again for posting this challenge. I need to find a bracelet now.

Ok my friends… I have experience from long ago with some success. I accept the challenge…Day 2 today for me… I reread the rules…
Catching myself complaining aloud but thinking I WOULD BE COMPLAINING IF I SAID SOMETHING I think is a positive action…
Also thoughts that another is complaining and voicing it …negative so should not be judgmental of another’s complaints.
Really in my opinion… keeping mindful of your words is so beneficial to my attitude and mood. However I do find myself saying I am making a statement not a complaint… This might be a gray area and I have to work on…
I love this exercise… 21 days to create a good habit is so rewarding…
Here’s to no complaints!

I have been reading this thread and thinking about joining. I would like to be more positive. I feel I am a seething pit of resentment a lot of the time recently. I wonder how I would balance setting and keeping a boundary and not complaining, and how to deal with automatic negative thoughts even if I don’t voice them as a complaint?

Yesterday went better then I thought I would.
Changed wrists for 2 times and that was it. But it makes me wonder how on earth am I going to get a stretch of 21 days?
So today is my second day 1, here we go!
