Hi All,
I had written this back in February after reading this humorous Self Help book. I did not plan on sending it. I don't particularly like it. Well, not as much of some of my work. I don't really think any of my work is good but if it helps any of you and/or lifts your spirits or makes you smile , than its worth it. Take care and look below.
I had breakfast out and a walk I took,
While at the Village inn, I read a book,
One I began this morning at 3 am,rose with the birds,
Its been inspiring, as I listened to the words.
I wanted something that would not make me go back to sleep for a long time,
But something that would encourage me,as I read the lines,
Or heard the narrator speak.
I have had one of those weeks,
Beginning of the new year ,where I looked at myself,
Was introspective,looked In the mirror, but that,isn't always good for my mental health
At least those of us whom are perfectionist and expect more from ourselves than a family Member or a friend,
I realize that I need to send,
Myself encouraging words and look at my success,
For me, sometimes, that is hard to digest,
, And even, makes it difficult to unwind and get good solid rest.
What is this book I am reading you ask,
That is opening my eyes again and unpealing the mask?
"Just hand over the chocolate and no one will get hurt" ,is the title, it is true,
Its motivational, humorous and teaches you how to get through,
Times of stress,depression and help to obtain goals,
I decided to write now, and soothe my soul.
I was, going to buy some groceries that I need,
Instead, it fed the creativity within from what I did read.
As I sat at the Village Inn table,
And red, the thoughts just flowed and I knew that I would be able
To write a post once I got home and on my laptop,
Later, I can shop,
For the food to nourish my body had to write, do this for me,,
I knew this is where I had to be,
If the words and thoughts were to appear on the page
And arranged
Just so in real time.
This writer speaks of ways to overcome the stress and negative emotion without devouring an entire box of your favorite chocolate delight ,
Enables to shed some light,
And see the full glass ,
And knowing, whatever it is, it too will pass.
I tell my friends this and believe it to be the case,
But often in the midst of it, I don't think it is, with all that I face,
Dealing with and on my, plate ,
And sometimes, I get myself in such a state ,
That I want to retreat and isolate myself for awhile ,withdrawing ,seeing few reasons to smile.
If I were talking to myself like I do a friend ,
Their spirit I'd lift and a positive message I send,
I speak to him or her with love and Respect and be kind,
Assisting to change their own mind ,
And alter their perspective and attitude,
So he or she would not want to dive into unhealthy food,
What, do they then, find?,,Who wants unnecessary pounds on their stomachs and their behinds?,
I don't want extra weight on my butt,
Noone does , but we all, need a friendly push in the right direction to get out of a rut,
Out from under,and sort the pile
To motivate and bring us a smile ,
Even better , make us laugh , at our darkest hour,
we ourselves,don't realize, that we ,already have the power,
Pray,hope and know,
help us, to continue, to go.
Sometimes , I lose sight of my dreams,
That, Things are worse then they seem,
So I think,
I don't want to gamble or drink,
But food seems like my friend or eating nothing at all,
And what seems right,is putting up the walls,
And closing the doors and hiding in my cave,
At moments,its hard to " ride the wave"
And just glide,
Enjoy the ride,
No matter whether the track is going up or down and inside and out,
I don't like it, when unfamiliar is the rout,
Or suddenly being turned upside down, I feel lost and unshaken,
Not like some, who welcomes the mystery path their now immediately taken.
I thought my outlook on life was a positive one, and maybe so?
But, sometimes, that side, I don't think I show.
In this book, they mention,having cheese with that whine ,
We all do it some,realizing,maybe,I do it more then I think with certain friends of mine?
At times?,I go through cycles and maybe somewhat extreme about things?
Doubting self and wondering if I have wings?,
To fly and succeed?,
Thinking that my whining will help,is what I need and that my true friends will listen and understand ,
Sometimes, they will and even lend a hand,
And heart and ears,
And they too, may disclose, their problems, dreams,hopes and fears
But after awhile and too much of this,they will kick your butt in a positive way,
So, you won't continue to play,
The same tape and loop in your head,
Allowing you to think about what they said,
And still motivate you to be your best self,
Improve your mental health,
Abort those negative thoughts and remove that old junk
Stop whining and get out of that funk!
True friends are the best! They are awesome indeed!
However, we all have a purpose, look at yourself, find the seed,
Help the garden to grow,
Take that risk,fill that dream ,
In the scheme of it all, no matter what it is, its not as bad as it seems,
Know that you are special and we all have similar experiences that can help us to relate ,
And when your feelling discouraged,just wait!,
Don't grab for the chocolate ,fries or a shake ,
Do something else, a better decision to make.
I know this is something that I need to apply and follow ,
Sometimes ,News we get ,is hard to swallow
And we sometimes , we eat Things we shouldn't consume ,
But at the moment,its better than the gloom.
Don't stay within your cacoon, look for the butterfly!,
Sore high,
The skies the limit!,reach for the stars!,
You will go far ,
Living your life and making your mark ,take that leap!,
Its your own to keep ,
Walk the Journey, take that ride,
Hang on, go with the tide,
We all are on your side.
