Yep, that’s me. I’ve been a bad blogger. Haven’t posted a thing in days. Why you may ask? Well, I’ve been sick in RL and really haven’t felt like writing anything. I’ve also been busy doing other things. What other things? Oh, you’ll all find out at some point. Just not now.
Back to blogging though. I’ve missed it actually. One of the blogs I read had a link to this website and the premise sounded pretty good so I went to check it out. Of course they want you to buy the video, the book, the tapes etc etc but the basic premise I like. Here’s the idea, stop complaining and criticizing for 21 days. If you catch yourself doing it, then start over for 21 days.
What an incredible concept no? No complaints, no criticisms, no gossip, no drama for 21 days. Have you ever stopped to think about how many times you complain about something in your day? Being home sick for three days I’ve done a lot of complaining believe me. But I’ve been sick so I decided to not even try this until I felt better. I’ll start this weekend. 21 days, I think I can do it.
What about you? Can you go 21 days without a complaint about someone or something? 21 days without criticizing someone’s behavior, clothing, attitude? 21 days without talking about someone negatively?
I’d love to hear what you think about this and whether or not you think you can do it. I’ll post everyday to let you know how I’m doing. Yes, I’ll be honest and not cheat! Not that most of you would know if I did but I won’t.
I challenge anyone who wants to do this with me to comment here or drop me a note/IM in world. Most of my IMs go to email and I’ll respond when I get it.
Even if you choose to not try this little experiment with me, think about how many times you’ve complained today. It’s only 7am for me and I’ve ripped our building maintenance apart for not sanding the parking lot or handing out ice skates. It’s a valid complaint granted but instead of complaining, I should call them, which I did. I won’t tell you what they told me. It wasn’t nice.
