My no complaining fast

As some of you may know, I’ve been working on a no-complaining fast this month. I can’t honestly say I haven’t complained at all, but I can say that I haven’t done it as much.

And let me tell you, it has not been easy. I wasn’t feeling well some parts of the month {sinus, allergies, migraines}, and I really wanted to tweet and updated my FB status with the news. {I’m not sure why; maybe sympathy, empathy, understanding  …I don’t know. But I figured, 1) What’s the point, and 2) No one really cares. I mean, people care, but they don’t necessarily want to hear about my aches, pains and ailments.

But this fast has taught me to be more conscious of my thoughts. For instance, now, when I find myself about to complain or say something negative- in my head or aloud- I stop and think, ‘Why am I thinking this?’ or ‘It’s not that bad/serious/whatever,’ and I try to refocus my thinking on the present or something positive and happy.

Since this ‘experiment’ has caused me to kind of have a more positive + happy outlook and attitude, I’m going to try to continue this no complaining thing…we’ll see how it goes…
