Ever since Ive made a conscious choice to be positive thinking I notice complaining a whole lot more.  Ive put in the work to recognise negative thinking and because I no longer take anti-depressant drugs (yay me!) I have to work extra hard at catching those little blighters that try and slip in through the back door.

However, Im finding that I seem to be surrounded by complainers.  Granted, I do live in a country where complaining is jokingly called the other national sport, but when you’re trying to create a mental environment of zen positivity while everyone around you is moaning about everything under the sun, it gets frustrating.

Some people just love to moan and I wonder what they would do with themselves if they suddenly weren’t able to gripe about anything.  I certainly wish I had the power to bonk some people on the head to rid them of this annoying habit, for their sake and mine.

So I devised a plan.  Did you ever have a swear box in your home or office?  Well, if you didn’t, it works like this.  Everytime you swear, you have to pay a fine.  It’s supposed to stop you from swearing and if done right, eventually will.

My plan is to transform complaining into something positive and functional. You can do this at home or at your office.  Just get a jar or money pig and each time someone wants to complain, they must instead write the complaint out on a piece of paper and put it in the jar or box with a monetary fine.  At the end of each month, send the funds collected to a charity of your choice and burn the complaints.

Being so mindful of your complaints will help put things in perspective and paying for your complaints will help those who have a right to complain.
