Don’t Think What Isn’t

It’s probably negative

And it doesn’t even exist

Especially if it bothers you

Like what you are worrying about

A worry

Is a good example

It isn’t true

It could become true

But we believe it to be true

That’s the problem

We believe it to be true

But it never is

It doesn’t exist

At the moment we worry

Why waste your time worrying about nothing?

Learn about Anxiety

This Book

Is a Course on Anxiety

Anxiety

It’s a disturbing experience,

A dis-ease,

It can be very uncomfortable.

Most people tend to acquire anxiety,

At least to some degree,

If not to a very uncomfortable degree.

The poems in this book

Are designed to help you understand

And cope better with your worries.

This book is meant to provide you

With insight and encouragement,

And a way out of the valley of distress.

That’s where the anxiety demons dwell.

You don’t want to spend time with them.

They make life miserable.

Your Unique 16 Step Anxiety Reduction Course

Your Unique 16 Step Anxiety Reduction Course

7/30/16

Saturday

As we have said in the previous poem,

You are the teacher of this course.

It’s your own private classroom.

The 16 Steps provide the course content.

You are the guide.

You make all the decisions

On how the course unfolds.

You can do the steps in any order you prefer.

You can skip around.

It’s your show.

You know what you like.

You know what works for you.

Do what feels good,

What gets results.

You’re the teacher.

What makes this course so special?

It’s your own personal journey.

You hold the rudder.

You steer the ship.

You are the captain.

Why does He Get Anxious Repeatedly?

Step Eight

Why Does He Get Anxious Repeatedly?

And especially why does he get anxious

Again and again over the same thing?

What is he trying to do to himself?

Is he trying to torture himself?

I don’t think anxiety is much fun.

But tomorrow he repeats it again.

He’ll punishes himself again.

He’ll allow the anxiety demons

To have their fun,

Because he just doesn’t seem to be able to help himself.

This is the third stanza

Of this poem.

I’ll bet he’s learned by now,

And won’t fall into the anxiety trap again.

Oh no! He fell into it again.

This is the last stanza

Of our poem.

I’m sure by now

He’s learned not to get anxious again

Uh-oh, he didn’t learn

I don’t think this was a very good poem
