I’ve been listening to A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen and love it. It’s a 21-day challenge to consciously stop complaining. I’ve put a rubber band on, and this is going to be fun!! 🤩
The idea of conscious competence is my favorite. That’s deciding to be quiet until you figure out what to say without complaining.
I’ve learned that complaining is when you want something to change. Neat, huh?
So, I started listening to this book this morning. About midday, I got an alarm that the fire department was being dispatched to my home. My carbon monoxide levels were at 120, high is 9.
I told my parents I had to go. They still haven’t gotten used to me not reacting. And at the house, the firemen said how well I was taking it. Why, thank you!!
I feel like I’ve turned into my late husband. He was so calm. Had an incredible mindset. And lived by the “it is what it is” philosophy.
Before carnivore, I was explosive and angry; most of the time, I had no idea why.
Now I know everything is temporary. And “this too shall pass.” That never resonated before; I even had it hanging on my wall.
So, now I plan to transfer these feelings to CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). It’s an illness I have from being exposed to mold and having the HLA-DR gene. With this gene, I have a hard time detoxing biotoxins. But that is temporary because I am on binders, doing rebounding, sauna, playing pickleball, laughing daily, working on my mindset, eating the “proper human diet,” and building communities.
Why get upset? Everything is temporary.
- Forget something? You’ll get it later. Temporary.
- Traffic issues. Temporary.
- Sick? Have to take antibiotics? Temporary.
- Break your hip? The pain will subside. Temporary.
- Your kiddo is fighting with their friend? He’ll get distracted by something soon, or they’ll make up eventually. Temporary.
- Your car broke down? It’ll get fixed, or you’ll get another one. Temporary.
- Your dog dies? You’ll feel the grief, be sad, understand that everything that has life will die, and eventually, the sadness will fade. Then, you might smile at memories that pop into your head. Temporary.
