Holidays “wrapped” with old usual,
Can make me feel quite confusional.
Made quiet and spare,
With things that show care;
Holidays can be quite beautiful!
Accepting an offer, a Help-Gift,
Can open the way for a big shift.
A task that gets done,
Or something that’s fun.
Surefire route to a mental lift.
My body and mind had conspired,
Which made me feel achy and tired.
I found that the best,
Was hours of rest.
Seems just what my psyche required.
With things feeling heavy & funky.
An outlook that’s all dark & gunky.
A giggle or two,
Will help you renew,
A viewpoint that’s lighter & spunky.
What’s true about riding in the heat,
It drains you and leaves you really beat,
It pays to hydrate,
Then you tolerate,
The miles without facing your defeat.
When motion becomes automatic,
When thoughtless, it is problematic.
So, keep your mind clear.
Then actions, my dear,
Will show up as nothing dramatic.
at covers your need.
When really your deed
Is getting some help with your brave ask.
If rather than moving, you’re stalling,
If couch-time is what you hear calling,
Think what you can find,
To spark up your mind.
An outcome, completely enthralling.
My “intention phrase; my “prism phrase” for 2022 is
TO NOTICE and APPRECIATE.
So much swirls through my day,
Quickly and sometimes fleeting.
Figuring out how to stay walking upright
Is pretty important.
I’m talking about the actual, physical upright
Of walking in winter.
Generous listening.
A few hours later, I’m feeling Melancholy.
Natural season changes coming soon,
I’m resisting.
Positive possibilities haven’t yet grabbed me.
In that way, I’m sort of a “Grump-Slump”.
Have you ever been in that spot?
