I am reading a new book, The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity: A Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance by Edwene Gaines, in which she suggests you take a 21 day break from gossiping, complaining, and criticizing to really open yourself up to new possibilities.
She calls it a life changing exercise and substantiates this with personal experience.
Talk about simplifying your life!
I feel lighter and freer just thinking about it!
Often to make way for the good stuff we have to let go of our old limiting behaviors. So, here I am -- Day One of my challenge to really think before I speak and refrain from negative talk about myself and others -- no bitching, no complaining, no criticizing. The rule is if you do say something negative, you must forgive yourself and start over until you can run a streak of 21 complain free days.
I am really excited about the opportunity to change my behavior in such a positive way. It’s too easy to get caught up in the downward spiral of negativity. I want this year to be different and according to the study of numerology, 2008 represents the first in a nine year cycle perfectly designed for fresh starts and new beginnings.
Is there anyone else interested in joining me in this challenge? I asked my husband and stepson, thinking we could make a little contest of it, but they declined. I invited my mom in a recent email and hope she considers it. Let me know if you want to give it a go. I would love to hear about your experiences and promise to keep you updated on my progress.

I am in the challenge with you...
I was looking for something like this,myself...I have become very negative in my own life...I blame everything on many health issues that I have and the changes that they have forced in my life...I am actually getting my yearly MRI and (finally) a spinal tap tomorrow to determine once and for all if this is MS...I am already diagnosed with several other conditions....
I can't go on in this negative thought pattern...No matter what happens tomorrow, I have to get my better attitude back or all this negativity is going to keep eating at me and there is not much left for it to eat at...I want to rebuild my "soul"... and be more of the person I was..
