It's Time to Stop!

I was reading a blog tonight that dealt with whining. I was glad I stumbled onto this post because I have been thinking a lot about the subject and how much of it I do on a daily basis. I thought the challenges were worth repeating -
“The two steps to stop whining so much:
  1. Make it a priority to notice every time you complain or unnecessarily criticize. This includes judging others. Now, every time you catch yourself complaining, just stop and notice it.
  2. After you’ve noticed yourself complaining, ask yourself this: Is there anything I can do about what I’m complaining about, or it outside of my control? If there is something you can do about it, do it. If there is nothing you can do, let it go.”

I think I am going to keep a tally of how many times I complain tomorrow and I’ll let you know how I do. I encourage you to do the same and we’ll see how we do. Ok. Now, on your mark. Get set. Go.
