Whiners,Gossipers, and Complainers Take Heed!

My father in law just gave my wife and I one of those rubber wrist bands–Like the Lance Armstrong “Live Strong” ones of a few years ago.
This one is purple and has a whole different purpose!
The idea is to use it as a queuing device to quit complaining, sniveling, and whining about life–Every time you complain, you must snap or change the band to the other arm.
My wristband is already stretched out and worn….Boo Hoo/Waa Waa!
The website for instructions and ordering is: www.aComplaintFreeWorld.org
The results are AWESOME….and we are having a ball “catching” both ourselves and each other complaining.
I see this working on the same Toastmaster Principle of beginning to catch your own and others non-fluencies such as “um”s, “and’s”, ”uh’s”, and “ya knows”.
Funny how something this simple can break a poisonous habit of gossip, negativity, and permeating pessimism.
Go for it….this a brilliant and easy way to make a fundamental life change for the New Year!
