Today is the beginning of the Complaint Free July Challenge over at the Xen Bliss Community on Facebook. I love this community and the ladies who run it. Every month there is a new challenge to make us think and act or eat differently. The support there is amazing. I recommend joining us, not just for this challenge but for all the great reasons this community rocks. I decided to participate in the complaint free challenge for several reasons.
1. We spend way too much time complaining. The average person spends 8 minutes a day complaining. That is 5 whole months in your lifetime.
2. Complaining doesn't change a thing. It would be nice if all that complaining actually changed some thing, but it doesn't. Instead of addressing our problems we seem content to just grumble about them. A 2010 survey done in England showed one third of the people surveyed would rather do nothing and just keep complaining, and one fifth of the people stated they didn't have the time to fix things.
3. Your thoughts shape your reality. That's right, what you think creates what you say, which in turn creates what you do. Complaining keeps you in a negative mindset, and the more you complain the more you will attract to complain about. Remember, what we think we become. Think good thoughts and good things will come to you!
Let me know if you are joining the challenge. What three things are you grateful for right now? I want to know what you think! Comment below.
I will be checking back in through the month to let you know how it's going for me.
Also I am still working towards my hypnotherapy certification. If you feel moved to, please donate here. Every bit helps and is so appreciated!
And as always, Love and Light.
Love this post! I agree with everything you said, complaining is counter-productive and puts us in the wrong mindset. It was a great reminder :(
