This is one of my most challenging tasks. I don't think I can change this one overnight. I will have to be very aware of my actions and hopefully I will catch myself before the complaining begins. If I feel the need to complain I just need to shut my mouth and keep it shut.
Here are a few things that may help with this difficult challenge:
- If I feel the need to vent (vent sounds better than complain), than I will write down what's troubling me on paper and start with the words 'I am upset about' and then list what's troubling me.
- Think of at least one thing I can do to change the situation and then write it down.
- Pray!
Most of the things I complain about are trivial, but I know there may be times when something is truly bothering me, and I can't find a solution or it's just eating me up inside; in those instances I think it's ok to vent. Sometimes when something gets really bad it does you more harm keeping it all inside.
