Today, I want you to set the intention to have a “No Complaints” policy. Watch, with awareness, your language and be on the lookout for negative or judgmental expressions. Remember, when we indulge in complaining we give power to that life experience. These negative thoughts gain control over you if you choose to let them. Instead, recognize you can release this pattern and decide to stop the “victim mentality” and choose empowerment.

Decide today that you will use positive thoughts and statements that convey what you truly desire. Feel the power within you when you do so and notice how others respond with a greater sense of positivity.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.” -Maya Angelou

Listen to this brief guided exercise to support you on this topic to release negative thoughts:
