How long could you do it?

[PRINCESS VIJA]

On the news they talked about the new purple wristbands. (Like the yellow Livestrong bands) They are meant to remind you not to complain or gossip. The goal is to go 21 days without any negative comments. 21 days because that is how long they say it takes to break a habbit. Supposedly the people that have been successfull (sp?) at it are becoming happier people. Do you think you could do it for 21 days???

I actually am going to give it a try and see what happens...

not gossip??? What would we do at work all day long???

I've got more than my share of bad habbits, thankfully gossiping doesn't seem to be one of them.
I really don't think it would be too much of a problem to go a month without gossiping or talking bad about somebody.
Now, if we're talking about__________, then that's a different story.

If everyone gave up gossiping and complaining the DIS would cease to exist!

This is what I gave up for Lent, instead of giving up chocolate. I decided that instead f giving something up, I was going to try and be a nicer person, more patient, and not gossip.

Lent is a week old, and chocolate would have been easier.

I don't really gossip now so that wouldn't be a problem.

However, the complaining I'd have a difficult time with. Besides the normal stuff, I have a cold and even though I have to be at work, whining makes me feel better.

My ears hurt.

No complaining and no gossiping? So, what, 21 days of complete silence? No, really, it sounds like a great idea; I'm going to give it a try!

I don't like to gossip. I will tell you what I think to your face.

No complaining? That may be a problem

wow-I think I'd make it from the bedroom to the kitchen in the morning without complaining, but after that.....

I wouldn't be able to do my job without complaining. That's the only way to get some departments to do something about issues.

Can't do it. Complaining is an official sport here in Celebration. And with everything we've got going on right now (the fight about incorporation being the main one) we can't slack off right now.

This is so interesting! I'm not a big gossip, but at work I do "participate" in gossiping amongst the girls, and I feel bad about it. Have some other issues with my family as well (not my household, but my mother's) and I'm sure there are things that I could definitely keep to myself. It will be hard to be positive with my family though...tough times right now, and I seem to be the only one with common sense and I'm the mediator between them all! I can always try to make things "glass half-full" whenever people come to me...I usually am a natural optimist! My DD5 has been making bead bracelets and necklaces for about a week now, so I think I will tell her to make me a purple one and I'll keep it on!
