Whine Free Wednesday

They should.
He always.
She never.
Why do I have to?
Don’t they see?
Isn’t the solution obvious?
I can’t believe he said/did/did’t/can’t/wont/doesn’t.

You’re so cute when you’re indignant.
So certain you’re right.
And, of course, have the best solutions!

The stories we repeat.
The conversations we replay.
the if only I’d saids.
Thoughts rushing down those worn, dead end grooves in our minds.
It’s all Mental Clutter.

How many of our thoughts are repetitious, circular and don’t move us forward?
How much of what we chew on only keeps us annoyed and hurt?

We want our physical spaces to hold only the things we love,
value and reflect the life we want to be living,
our mental space needs to be as clutter free as possible also.

Which thoughts and stores can we let go?
What judgments get in our way?
How might our lives be different if we spent more time in thoughts of gratitude and thanks?

Funny thing about our they should, he always, she never, etc.:
There is always another point of view.

Just for today, try not whining.
Put down your righteous chew toy.
Replace a complaint with a gesture of kindness.
Do some Mental Decluttering.
