Today’s Challenge: STOP COMPLAINING FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.
Today’s exercise requires you to monitor your own complaints and replace them with something more productive: gratitude.
Step 1:
Take your Reset notebook around with you today and write down every instance where you complain about something no matter how inconsequential it may seem.
Step 2:
For each instance, write down a statement of gratitude to combat the complaint. Think about the “silver lining” in each of your compliant.
I complain a lot, didn't
realise that till today, although I wasn't with my book every step of today but
I remember some complaining I did.
- I complained about standing
up this morning; I slept at 4am and I was tired.
Silver lining: I woke up
today, and am grateful to God
- Complained about my stolen
jeans, as I would have worn it today
Silver lining: All my cloths
are not stolen
- My new students are so
playful, annoying and dull (Pardon me)
Silver lining: *Searching*
Ok! I get to impact knowledge :D
- I had this emergency
clearance today, so I had to rush back and forth from home to work before I
could sign *phew*
Silver lining: A lot of other
corpers were not around for the head count. So, :D
- It rained, and I had to go
back to work, didn't get a bike early, my hair was wet, I was cold..........
Silver lining: This raining
season is waaaaaaaaaay better than the hot weather
- Complained about not having
what to eat, not having the time to go to d market, not having more options of
food to eat *sigh*
Silver lining: I still have
food and I'm not starving
- Complained about the light
when I got home
Sliver lining: **Still
Searching** I mean its NEPA, can there be a lining??? :/
- Complained about the
snoring coming from the next room, since my neighbour had this visitor, there
has been snoring coming from the room at night
Silver Lining: I have loud
music. I sooooo don't envy that guy that has to sleep in the same room with the
snorer!!
I know something I didn't
complain about. How sweet my food was :D I tried sisi yemi's party jollof rice
and I let it buuurrrrrnnnnn and my pot is still soaking, it was gooood, I was
so proud of myself!
Although I complained a lot
today (Some I can't remember) but am reminded that there can be a silver lining
for every complain and we just have to pay attention and be thankful.

I had tears in my eyes, I
didn't realise till it fell out, its so hard watching a very very close friend
go through stuff and you can't do anything about it, especially when its
changing the person and everything they used to believe in. Sometimes I wish I could do more. I really was sad and I said a prayer for him and hopefully he
won't slip away. If you find yourself reading this, please don't slip away. I
do care!!!
P:s: What do you do when your
visitor can't stop snoring???????
