I WON'T COMPLAIN...

Any complainers out there? How's that working for you? Complaining is counter productive. This is something that I have begun to say regularly if I catch myself or hear someone else complaining. It doesn't help anything. It does absolutely nothing for you or your situation. Complaining changes your mood. It actually makes you feel worse than you did before you started to complain.

Sure, we all have times that we are bothered and/or upset about something. However, once you begin that downward spiral of complaining, it just makes matters worse. There are times when we need to vent and get things out. Understand that there is a difference between venting and complaining. Venting gives you the outlet; a feeling of release; getting it off your chest so to speak. So, once you vent, it's usually over. You are not looking for an alternative or for anything else to occur. Complaining tends to linger. It's whining and grumbling about something that you are expecting to change. I personally think that venting is a form of good expression as long as it doesn't hurt you or anyone else. It can be a positive mode of expression. The idea of releasing is to feel better afterward. Complaining on the other hand is negative. There is usually no result accept feelings of defeat, anger and dissatisfaction. That's not healthy for the mind, body or spirit.

Turn your complaining into thankfulness. Being grateful instead of complaining will change your mindset and perspective. It will make you feel good on the inside.

There is a song that says, "I've had some good days, I've had some had some hills to climb, I've had some weary days and some sleepless nights...But when I look around and think things over, all of my good days out-weigh my bad days, I WON'T COMPLAIN... " Rev. Paul Jones. Allow those words to resonate in your heart and permeate your spirit. Yes, we all have had some trials and struggles but just think about all of the good you've had in your life and surely, your good days have out-weighed your bad. If you feel this is not the case, look ahead to your future and be encouraged that your latter is greater than your past. Change your perspective.

I challenge you to turn your complaints into celebrations of life. Take a look at all that is good in your life and around you. When you hear yourself complaining, quickly change it into a grateful thought; a positive thought .

If you must release frustration, annoyance and even anger, try venting instead for a few seconds, let it go and move on.

"I WON'T COMPLAIN!"
