Complaining is the opposite of gratitude. Try going on a no-complaining diet.

For 30 days, try not to complain about your hair, about your friends, about the grade on a quiz, or about anything else.

This doesn’t mean that you have to see the world through rose-colored glasses. It’s a fact that there are things about your life that you don’t like.

Just try not to complain about them.

It’s like the old saying, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”

A no complaining diet focuses you on the good – even if it’s a microscopic good – that’s in almost everything.

You might surprise yourself when you realize how focusing on the good improves your mood, your happiness, and your energy.
