Hey ,

I have a confession...I used to be a chronic complainer.Seriously!I used to complain about being tired, having too much on my plate, my kids, my husband, my job… and the list goes on.And the worst part:I believed complaining was actually helping my situation.I mean, at least I was focusing on my issues!The problem was, complaining didn’t give me resolution and it was bringing everyone else around me down.I knew it was out of hand when my husband finally asked me to stop.  So I made him a promise: I was to BE happy with my life.That promise has greatly affected me personally and professionally.Learn how to make a promise in Module 3 of Inner.U Life!

You just wouldn't think so by hearing me talk about it.Part of the story: I didn’t want to let anyone to know that things were going well because I didn’t want them to stop trying to please me or give me more to manage.Being unhappy and complaining about little stuff was a way to hide, control, and stay small. I sincerely wanted to change, but I didn't know how; I had been this way for much of my adult life.Therefore, I had to take a deeper look into the things I complained about and the way I felt when I complained, and then evaluate the areas of my life where I wasn't as happy as I wanted to be.That is when I came to a huge realization: instead of expecting others to please me or playing the victim so that I could control or blame others, I had to work at pleasing myself and showing it. Here's how I did it, and how you can do it too...
