Pod #5 - Spreading Positivity And Being A Team Player
Sucky Moment of the Week (1/5) Nicole and Vic went on a camping trip with a big new tent, but setting up camp didn’t go quite as smoothly as usual. Inspired Action Sometimes you just have to stuff that pride in a pocket, admit when you need help, and listen.
Major Topic: A Complaint Free World We talk about something Angela’s used in her trainings for years – A Complaint Free World – and why we and everyone around us can benefit when we quit complaining (expressing pain, grief, or discontent) and gossiping and start speaking with thought and intention. Nicole sums it up beautifully with this inspiring quotation:
“Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve the silence?” – Sathya Sai Baba
Try This! The (abridged) Complaint Free World Challenge. Try to go one week without complaining or gossiping. Wear a complaint free world bracelet or use any bracelet you already have, and switch it to your other wrist every time you catch yourself complaining or gossiping.
Nicole SHOUT Out The woman picking up trash during her daily walk in the park reminded Nicole of the importance of helping take care of the places that we love (because, after all, we’re all on the same team).
