Rants, Venting, Complaining, Negativity

Call it what you want but we all do it.  I complain and vent and rage on a lot.  I have noticed that I do it more than often and it is starting to bother me.  I don’t feel I am a negative person, or someone who always looks at the down side of things.  Generally, I am happy with my life and I surround myself with fun, happy, positive things.  But lately, I am finding that I complain about work, co-workers, family members, friends, the weather, all things.  It is exhausting and draining.

I pointed this out to Saturday Night Guys and we decided we’d try to make more of an effort to not be so negative.  Then, two weeks ago, my assignment for school was to go one whole day without saying anything negative and report on how difficult it was or how your behavior changed because of it.  Now I’ve read Citizen Kerry’s post about challenging herself to not complain.  I believe all of this is the Universe’s way of telling me to take it down a notch.  So I am going to try to not complain or be negative during the month of December.

I will probably fail.  But I’m gonna try.
