I just found this channeling I did in 2009!

It was amazing for me to hear something I don't remember because it was channeled... and to be surprised and educated by the content.  Whoah.

I love the idea presented here because it takes the time between having an idea and the manifestation of it and it gives that in-between time meaning.

How powerful to have the WHOLE process be worthwhile, not just the results! :)

_Last year around Christmastime I read the book A Complaint Free World: How To Stop Complaining And Start Enjoying The Life You Always Wanted by Will Bowen.

It's a sweet book written by a minister who realized that by not complaining his entire world shifted, and so too did the lives of his congregation. (Law of Attraction, anyone? :)

To help people achieve 21 days without complaining (the length of time it takes to form a new habit he says) he passed out purple rubber bracelets to his people.  The instructions were simple:

Every time you complain, switch the bracelet to the other wrist.  Do this until you've gone 21 days without switching your bracelet once.

The book shares success stories and the struggles people faced during the challenge.  It also outlines what a complaint is and how you can still work through problems or state something you don't like without complaining (super helpful!)

Throughout this year I started and stopped going 21 days without any real commitment to going the distance.  I felt so much better during my "on" days, true, but other things were pressing on my mind.  Now that those things are shifted and the New Year is coming around again I am inspired to make this a priority.  I'm excited about it!

I'll be blogging about it here.  Want to join me?

It doesn't matter what you wear on your wrist.

You can use a rubber band.  You can use a bracelet you already have.  Right now I'm wearing a white rubber bracelet from TUT.  It says "Thoughts Become Things...Choose The Good Ones."  You can order an official "Complaint-Free World" purple rubber bracelet from the Complaint Free World website.

It's not what you wear or do exactly, it's the physical act that helps build the new habit.  (You can even move a stone from one pocket to another.)

And yes, they have a widget for this! Woo hoo!

As I was about to cut out little pieces of paper and number them to keep track of my days I saw they now have a widget you can download to your computer to keep track with on the Complaint Free Website.

The geek-girl in me is jumping for joy!!!

Why do you need a system to keep track, you ask?

Well... the range varies greatly but some people have taken eight months to go a full 21 days.  (Whaaa?)  But don't let that stop you - just imagine all of those complaint-free days in-between.  Talk about being the change you wish you see in the world... :)

_When I first heard about the Law of Attraction – that we create our own reality – I disagreed.  I couldn't believe that I had created the pain I had felt in my life.

I know I didn't ask for my heart to be broken and I certainly could not believe that children would ask to be hurt or that people would create things like 9/11 on purpose.

Therefor, Law of Attraction must not work.  I ignored the teachings for years.

But in a time of desperation I gave it another shot because, what could it hurt?

Come to find out it does work; I had just been misinterpreting it all along.
