My wife and I periodically try to engage in a "complaining fast." For a week at a time, we try to refrain from all whining and complaining. . . . Doing so makes it easier to become conscious of things that are going well in your life.

Joseph Telushkin in The Book of Jewish Values by Joseph Telushkin

 

To Practice This Thought:
Commit to a complaining fast in your household.
