I recently started the 30 day no complaining exercise created by Sibyl Chavis (Her link is below). I can tell you, that one of the things we are really not aware of is how much we complain. Even with my daily practice of affirmation, prayers and spiritual treatments, I found that there were still remnants of little things I could let go of. I mean, these small things that we are not aware, of adds up.
I have to admit, that there were times when I felt that I needed some duct tape over my mouth to stop me from calling people out. I listened to friends complaining about all manner of things and decided that I did not have to participate. I just listened. No 'oh wow' or anything, just listened. I didn't know I had those skills! LOL
Alas, I can report, that I am on day 15 and I am doing very well. I can now auto correct. I am now intuitive and I can hear when a complaint is coming on. The hard thing at the beginning was how to judge if I was genuinely expressing my opinion and not just complaining. It took practice and I can now see when it's not necessary to respond.
So what's the point to all this?

So, remember, all you have to do is be aware of the complaining trap. Another good tip I have for you is to aim for your "highest and best" perspective 3 times during the day.
When a situation comes up that you would normally complain about or if someone does something that pushes your button, (even if you have every right to complain), think to yourself ... "What is the best way I can look at this situation so that I don't have to be distracted or weighed down by the things happening around me?" "How can I see it in a better light?"
