Today I’m starting the 21 day complaint free challenge again.
And this time I’ve upgraded from a rubber band to the official™ Complaint Free World bracelet, as seen on my freakishly thin wrist here (click if you really want to see the pores of my skin):
I’m starting again because while I can’t point to a specific time or incident, I know I have sinned complained since achieving the original 21 day goal and figured it was better to just wipe the slate clean (which you’re expected to do if you complain, anyway) and use the official bracelet as further motivation. It’s easier to just acknowledge that at some point I let loose the complaints and declare myself complain-free again (hopefully).
For Day 1 I was fine. The bracelet is much more noticeable than the rubber band, so it is perhaps a more forceful reminder to keep my trap shut when the urge to complain arises.
We’ll see how Day 2 goes, especially if I run tomorrow in this heat-blasted, smoke-choked weather we’re currently experiencing.
