Here it is Day 5 already. How are you doing? What are you noticing about your own thoughts, behaviors, feelings? What do you complain about the most? The least?
I’m noticing that my inner complainer is getting quieter. I have been working on being aware of different aspects of my behavior, including complaining, for many years so this focused week has created more shifts in my behavior. I’m also responding to other people’s complaining differently and with more awareness. Sometimes asking them, “So what do you want?”. Sometimes pointing out that there might be another way to look at the situation or person they are complaining about.
What about you? Is there another way to look at the person or situation you are complaining about? What might be affecting them that’s causing their behavior?
Is there anything positive about the situation?
Most importantly, what can you learn from the situation? There are no failures. There’s always learning.
Your complaints have terrific information for you about what you want and how you’re living your life.
Make it a great day!
