Yes, I know it’s hypocritical for me (of all people :D) to make a post about making this a complaint-free world. But hey, you have to start somewhere and I do agree with the general consensus that complaining leads to a bad mood all round – even if unintended.
I was inspired by the site of Christ Church Unity Kansas City. You can also order a bracelet on that site – which I am not providing a deep link to, as to avoid having this become a fashion item instead of a statement – so take a peek over at their site.
Having started just a few hours ago myself, I already had to swap my own bracelet twice. However, I hope to keep this up. It does feel a lot better when you actively try to stop negative thoughts or comments. By simply rephrasing what you want to say, you can get your point across without complaining and thus making the other person(s) feel negatively impacted or offended.
I think it is great stuff and food for thought. I’ll try to keep up with this and keep you all informed on my progress.
In other news, I just cleaned the bathroom-floor and one of the toilet-floors again. And strangely enough, perhaps due to the above I am ‘OK’ with it. I am not going to say that I’m happy, but at least I am not disgruntled about it. Let’s hope that the cleaning schedule gets organized soon so that I’ll get some help with keeping this place nice and tidy.
