Put on your positive pants

I’m a single mom and the complaint that most often comes to my head is “there’s no one to help me” (imagine that said in a real whiney voice and you’ll get the picture). 

Complaining doesn’t help anything. It does not improve my mood, it makes it worse. It does not get me the help I need. Also, it’s not even TRUE. I DO have help. 

Today’s tip is to “put on your positive pants” and not complain. As I tell my kids “you can think it in your head, but don’t let it come out your mouth”. Notice when that complaint is there, but just let it go without saying it outloud. 

Try it for an hour after you read this message. Then the hour after that. See if you can make it all day and notice how it affected your mood.

Reply back and let me know how long you’re going to try to make it without complaining, and you’ll be entered in to win the positive affirmation t-shirt or tank of your choice from Spiritual Gangster (I wish I could win, I really want the “trust the universe” tank!!) 

PS Bonus points if you put on actual positive pants, aka pants that make you feel great.
