Complaint-free me, Day 11: Thinking about my brain

It’s entirely possible I’ve slipped up and complained somewhere, about something, maybe something so slight it didn’t register and the person I spoke to didn’t know I had sworn off complaining and didn’t highlight the complaint to me.

Maybe, but I’m leaning more toward no, and the reason why is because, especially at work, I find when I am discussing a subject with someone and something comes up that could be easily complaint-worthy (eg. the weather) I fond myself thinking more about how I choose my words and what I say. If the other person complains, I automatically reply with something either putting a positive spin on things or I move on, I don’t nod or agree or say something like, “GOOD GOD YES WHEN WILL IT STOP RAINING? RAIN GRR!”

I can still slip up, of course–it only takes a moment and I’m back to Day 1. But I’m edging closer to believing I have a good chance of making it now to Day 21.

However it goes, I’ve made it past the halfway point at least once as of today. Woo.

Onto Day 12.
