I wanted to shout “stop complaining,” but I held my composure. Standing in line at the market, I heard two women complaining about the cost of food. They went on and on about how much they spend out on groceries each week and how little food use to cost in the past. They talked about how they couldn’t afford the organic foods and went on and on about how organic food may not be better than any other food. I could have screamed, but I decided not to participate in the madness. I realized in that moment just how much we blow things out of proportion to the point of being just a lie when we engage in complaining. And what happens? Before we know it our complaints become the truth of our reality.
So, today in order to be productive and progressive and not let the goings on of the market experience draw negativity and non-productivity into my reality, I decided to share today a few tips on how to STOP complaining and enjoy life as you co-create your reality. I believe these tips will help us all remain in a state of happiness and live the inspirational lives we truly desire to live.
First, we have to decide to be grateful. An inspirational life is filled with gratitude. Again, we have to decide to be grateful. Huh? Yes, gratitude is a decision, an emotion, and a state of being. Gratitude is synonymous with appreciation. When we are grateful, we increase. We increase the quality of our lives as well as our own vibration. By way of the law of attraction we draw more things to appreciate in our reality. As co-creators, even if we are “bothered by a situation,” we can always choose to create something different in our reality through our language. If we repeat the language enough times, our subconscious mind accepts it as our reality. For example, instead of complaining about bills and food prices, say to yourself or aloud, “I am so grateful that my income is increasing and I am able to buy good nutritional food for my family and me.”
Now, some among us may say, “but my income may not be increasing.” My answer to that is how do you really know that? Because when you choose to co-create a different reality with the Universe, you are “calling and drawing your true desire in existence” instead perpetuating the reality you have created thus far with your complaining. Just by changing your language, your subconscious mind becomes more open to a different reality. Eventually, each time as you go to the market, your subconscious mind will become more and more accepting to this reality. Then, it becomes your truth. Once it becomes your truth, the Law of Synchronicity works with the Law of Attraction to set in motion a reality where your income is increasing and you are able to buy good nutritional food for you and your family.
What has happened? You are no longer concentrating on lack, instead you are acknowledging that more income exists for you as well as the ability to buy nutritional food. It’s not a one day type mentality which is the same as concentrating on the lack of a thing and it’s not a wish upon a star mentality either, it is acknowledging that this reality really does exist for you.
Second, if you find yourself in the company of complainers all too often, it is time to find some new people to hang-out with. Your subconscious mind is listening to this crap and if you hear enough of it, you will find yourself complaining too. There is a universal law called the Universal law of Group Effort and Group Life. This law contends that when two or three come together agreeing upon the same thing, then they give “life” to that which they agree upon. This applies to negative agreements as well as positive agreements. So, decide now, today how you want to live your life. If you want to enjoy life as you co-create your reality, then you can’t hang out with people who won’t stop complaining.
Third, accentuate the positive. Now this may sound like a rap song by Lil’ Wayne or JayZ, but I am totally and completely serious here. Discover ways to accentuate the positive. When I say accentuate the positive, I mean bring the positive things to your attention while other folks are complaining. For example, if you are listening to someone complain, find something positive to say or think. I didn’t know the ladies in the market so I didn’t intrude, but I decided in the moment that I would go to my hotel and blog about “how to stop complaining and enjoy life.” So…this is exactly what I am doing. I found a way to accentuate the positive. But there are other ways if you are not a blogger or writer. In that moment, someone else could have thought: “Yeah, but the great thing about this market is the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables you can find in season.” It is always a silver lining. It is always something positive or productive you can take from any situation if you choose to focus on the positive.
Really friends, in every moment we have an opportunity to co-create our reality in way which would bring enjoyment, peace, and love into our reality. Complaining is not the way to accomplish a life a joy, peace, and happiness. If we want joy, peace, and happiness, we’ve got to stop complaining. Remember to be grateful, co-create the reality you want, appreciate life, and accentuate the positive. Be the lighthouse. Be the voice of hope.
Until next, remember to…Live well. Live Wise. Live wealthy…and let the Creative Spirit move you.
