Thanksgiving Day Fast: Is it what you think?

Over the next week consider fasting on Thanksgiving day.

Don't worry this kind of fast is not a fast from food or drink but rather a fast from complaining.

Yep, a fast from complaining.

Sometimes we don't even notice we complain. Here's an example of a complaint we might not even notice we have made, "Ugh! This computer program never works when I use it. This always happens to me!"

Both unconscious and conscious complaining manifests a discordant energy in our lives. But positive thoughts and refocused thoughts manifest an energy of acceptance and balance in our lives.

We can take back our power and harness our positive and creative energies the moment we realize we have been distracted by negative thoughts or influences. In that moment we can remember what Louise Hay teaches, "It is only a thought and thoughts can change."

Co-founder of the Hendricks Institute http://www.hendricks.com/ , Gay Hendricks, offers a free e-mail Manifestation Course. Lesson number four of the course, presented here, recommends that we take a complaint fast.

"HOW 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 unconscious 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, and a third. Many years ago I went on a complaining-fast, and my old patterns started to drop away 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 what you complain about.

Your second 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. Thank you for the gift of your participation in my life.
