Complaint Free World

Many people are stuck in the cycle of negativity. I know I have had times where negativity was affecting me and preventing me from doing what I wanted.

A Complaint Free World has created a challenge designed to break this negativity, thereby creating positivity. It is based on the premise that a habit of gratitude forms when you go 21 days without complaining.

Basically, you put a wristband on one wrist and every time you complain you have to switch it to the other wrist. The objective is to try and keep it on one wrist for 21 days. Sounds simple enough, but much harder in reality.

Similarly, you can apply the same principle with the wristband to other negative behaviours, such as blaming others, impressing others, comparing yourself with others, and being with negative people.

Instead of complaining, learn to relax. Being in a state of relaxation is good for the mind, body and spirit.

I had an experience where I was initially focusing on bad things that happened to me and then I switched my focus to good things that I was grateful for. I noticed how much happier I felt when I was focusing on the good and how much I was swearing and getting pissed off when focusing on the bad.
