a complaint free world


I just saw this really cool thing on Oprah.....a challenge to stop gossip and complaining.
You can order these bracelets for free on the below link. I just ordered one....I wonder if I can do this....I want to try. You wear the bracelet on one wrist if you catch yourself complaining or gossiping you have to switch it to the other arm.....and start over....the goal is to go 21 days without negative comments or gossip because it takes 21 days to change a habit. Have a great day!!! Michele

"How Does it Work?"

Scientists believe it takes 21 days to form a new habit and complaining is habitual for most of us. As Twain said, we must coax our old behavior down the stairs. The bracelet(s) you receive are a powerful tool(s) to remind you of how well you are creating your life with positive intention. Here are the suggested rules:

1. Begin to wear the bracelet, on either wrist

2. When you catch yourself complaining, gossiping or criticizing (it’s ok, everyone does) move the bracelet to the other arm and begin again.

3. If you hear someone else who is wearing a bracelet complain, you may point out their need to switch the bracelet to the other arm; BUT if you’re going to do this, you must move your bracelet first!

4. Stay with it. It may take
many months but when you reach 21 days you will find that your entire life is happier, more loving, more positive and more abundant.


***How do I know if I'm complaining? 

To "complain" is defined as "to express pain, grief, or discontent." Surely,
it makes sense to express pain, grief or discontent occasionally but most
people do so a lot. In so doing, they are talking and thinking about what they
do not want in their life and, thereby, attracting more pain, grief and
discontent. Instead, think and talk about what you are grateful for. Talk
about what you DO want and not what you DON'T want.




Here is an article about it.
