Karma is the effect of posing an action. You seem to define karma as a punishment for your sins, or as a consequences to wrong doing. No, quite the opposite. Read my post again. Karma is not negative. It is simply what it is. When one purifies his past karma, nothing will happen again because of his own past actions, but still, karma remains, as every new action brings a new reaction. Karma is not evil. Never said, implied or stated it was..... I've always said that it simply 'is'. Don't put words in to my mouth, please... Thank you!  BACK TO TOPIC.

ah, well. I have totally forgotten about the no whining rule. It's been a tough fall and I am trying to get back to some kind of routine with life. I don't know when I will be in the mood to attempt the no whining thing again.
Is anyone else still trying to be mindful about not complaining for 21 days?

Okay, today, i am starting my not complaining bracelet again. So far I moved it once. I feel like I am ready to tackle this once more.

I haven't been wearing the bracelet - I type all day long and having something on my wrist tends to interfere with that. However, I do try to be aware of complaining. I wonder if there is something else I could do, maybe just move something from one side of my desk to the other since I'm here most of the time. I'll have to give that a try!

Mine is a plastic band so it's not really in the way. maybe try a hair elastic?

I think I've become overly sensitive about anything on my wrist - my wrists get SUPER sore because I'm on the computer all day every day and any tiny bit of pressure on them now seems like too much. So I will keep my non-wrist methods I think, the "desk object" seems to work well for me for now at least!

well that makes sense. I am glad that is working for you. As for me, I do not have any days in a row to report. I keep forgetting to not complain. But I really want to make this back into a habit. i was much happier when I was actively working on retraining my mouth in that fashion.

It's time for a new year! We can all start the new year fresh with a renewed effort to be constructive in what we say!

I fell off the wagon again. But interestingly enough, all the practise has really made me aware of how much negativity comes out of my mouth in a daily, casual way. And I have noticed how really negative DH is - i never noticed before. I have somehow become the positive one! Which is cool. but it also may be b/c I am so excited to transition to my new life step of living fulltime in an rv and traveling, granted.

I used to tell friends and family to apply peanut butter to their mouths and see how much they can say with it in there. They couldn't. This is the analogy I've place on myself in many situations and it helps me to not whine so much and even helps me to recognize when I'm doing it. Put that peanut butter spread on ev'rybody.  It's good to have another year to grow and improve on a lot of habits.
