April / May book:

With the help of a purple bracelet and this book you could be on the brink of changing your life. “If you catch yourself complaining, take the bracelet off and move it to the other wrist. More than six million people have taken up the challenge, trying to go 21 consecutive days without complaining, criticizing or gossiping, and in so doing, forming an new, positive habit. By bringing our awareness to what we say and to the negative energy behind many of our words and thought, we can begin to create our lives by design. People have shared stories with the author of chronic pain relief, relationships healed, careers improved, and becoming an overall happier person. You will learn the steps to eradicate this poisonous form of expression from your life. If you stay with it, you will find that not only will you not complain but others around you will cease to do so as well. In a short period of time, you can have the life you’ve always dreamed of having”.

Our own Frank Brooks is currently mid the bracelet challenge. He says “the author is single handedly shifting the consciousness of the planet by simply bringing peoples awareness to the amount of complaining that they and others around them engage in, and the amount of negative energy that this creates. While yes, it is a super positive in that American kind of sense, the challenge is very effective and very accessible to all”. According to Frank the book is full of great and funny stories of peoples lives changing all due to this challenge while the effect of reading the book is a like an injection of positivity. He claims the challenge is not easy and he is still working towards 21 complaint free days. On average it takes people 7 to 8 months to go for 21 consecutive days without complaining. However the accumulative affects lie in the constant awareness of what you are saying, noticing when you are complaining and shifting your bracelet when you complain.

When we complain, without realising, we create a negative impact on our body, our mind and our energy field. It’s hard not to complain, especially when we lack awareness of our own discontent or moaning. This book will teach you awareness of complaining. We begin at awareness then the really good stuff starts to happen, the shifting of our consciousness.
