My wife and I have a rule in our house they we both believe passionately- our house is a "whine fee zone." What does they mean? It means if there was a big sign on the outside of our house it would read: Caution: Now entering the whine free zone- whining and complaining strictly prohibited. We both believe that whining is unproductive, destructive and disruptive. It is also very un-motivating. So try it in your home and your office by following these guidelines: 1. No whining- replace it with " O.K.- what can we do?" 2. No whining- make a list of options to solve the problem. Reveiw each one and decide to act on the best solution. 3. Whoever is whining call them on it and remind them gently that its not allowed. When you create a whine free zone- it increases motivation and takes you from whining to winning. visit me at www.sldoyle.com Visit Motivation Marketplace.com for Motivational Books, CD's, DVD's and much more!
