Complaining: another perspective of unconscious manifestation

While cleaning out file drawers, I came across this important concept and I want to share it with you as food for thought.

When we can become more conscious of when we are complaining, we can change the way we look at things, even when we can just let go.

I do not know where I got this. My apologies for not remembering or writing down the name of the author.

We hear complaints every day. In Minnesota, it is now the weather and traffic. In looking up ‘complain’ in the dictionary, it is to express dissatisfaction or annoyance about a state of affairs or an event; state that one is suffering from a pain or other symptom  of illness, state a grievance; to express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, grief or to find fault.

“The fourth lesson to stop unconscious manifestation. Unconscious manifestation thrives on complaining. We keep our childhood programming in place by complaining to willing listeners that we’ve been victimized. When people challenge us to take charge of our lives, we often get defensive and argue that our limiting beliefs are valid and necessary. If you want to stop your conscious patterns cold, stop complaining. Put yourself on a radical complaint-fast for one day: Don’t let a single complaint out of your mouth. Then go a second day then a third.

“Many years ago, I went on a complaining-fast and my old patterns started to stop effortlessly. I soon found I could go days and weeks without complaining about anything. Eventually my complaint-fast stretched into years and by then the miracles were unfolding so rapidly I could scarcely believe it. The circumstances of my life improved so radically that there was nothing to complain about.

“Your first task: Discover the people you complain to, the listeners of your complaining. When I started these discoveries thirty years ago, I found to  my horror that I complained about lots of things, and my ‘friends’ were exclusively people who would willingly listen to my complaints over and over. I put ‘friends’ in quotes, because I now realize that they weren’t friends at all – they were my co-conspirators in the slow sabotage of my life. We were all sinking together, barely noticing our descent because we were having such glee complaining all the way. Will you commit to a life completely free of complaints? If so, speak the following sentence aloud, from the bottom of your heart:

“I, ___________________________, commit to a complaint-free life.

“As you flow through your week, float this affirmation through your mind and body: Blessings flow in the areas of my life I used to complain about.”

Complaining is talking about something, over and over and not figuring out a resolution or letting it go if there isn’t a way at this time to find another option. My friends and I talk about frustrations that affect our lives. Then we offer loving affirmations that we are on the best path; we bless the situation then let it go; we ask for clarity for the next steps and directions to take. We also look at the inconvenience as an opportunity for what is unfolding. When things do not work out the way WE planned, it is likely the universe has the bigger picture and idea. Let those things we cannot control go, take action on the one’s we can then ask the universe what surprises are in store for us today (thanks, Flip, for that nugget). Let’s get out of our own way so these blessed and wonderful gifts can come our way. Let me know how you are doing and how we can support each other in this transition.
