Self Care For Stress

Wringing your hands?

Anxiety and Stress…

Turn it around.

Massage your own hands

one at a time.

Fingers, thumbs, palms…

You’ll be surprised

how much it calms…

Then one at a time

do your own feet.

Breathe deep, relax…

and then repeat.

Quick Reset

Hush. Hush.

For a moment, go within.

Close the curtains on your eyes.

Breathe belly deep. Breathe deep.

Stop the strident voices of alarm

in the computer of your mind.

Turn off the programmed brain.

Pull the plug on fear.

Breathe deep. Breathe belly deep.

Plug in to all that’s calm and kind

in a loving heart and mind

to face the World again.

This Too Shall Pass

Worse case scenarios.

We all die.

Well, we do all die. Fact.

Even powerful Sociopaths

with pawns and slaves pass on.

Life recycles its Energy.

Everything passes.

Everything changes.

Life continues on

in diverse expressions.

So find the Life in your life.

Be resilient, wise and strong.

Viral Fear

We can fight viral fear

of things we see and hear.

All that we say and do

spreads to other lives too.

When panic switches turn on

Courage and Caring stand strong

or swiftly move with grace

in calm and measured pace.

All that we hold dear

need not be lost through fear.
