How Learn to Love?

How Learn to Love?

We start by going slowly.
We’ll take our time.
We’ll do it one little step at a time.
That’s how we’re going to do it.
We’re never in a hurry.
It’s the one step approach.

Let’s start with what we know about love.
Will take little steps.
Maybe we can start with telling people we love them.
That means you are becoming aware of love.
That’s the beginning – It’s good!
It’s just one little step.

Learning to love – That’s what we’re doing.
Then you’ll come up with your next little step.
Maybe it will be a smile or an hello,
Or maybe you’ll start looking at someone,
And listening to them.
That’s love!

Now we’re loving -- one  little step at a time.
It’s so simple.
It’s so easy.
It’s just one little love step.
You’ve got it!
And you’re already making this a better world.

And what a beautiful world yours has become.

My Anxiety

My Anxiety

My anxiety
There’s something unique about
It’s mine
It may be similar to other people’s anxiety
But there is a difference
It’s my anxiety

It’s uniquely mine
I need to talk about it
Or write about it
If I can’t find someone to talk to
It’s mine to be examined
It’s mine to be understood

My anxiety
By becoming familiar with it
I will eventually find solutions
Uniquely my solutions
But first I need to get familiar with
My anxiety

It is truly mine
And uniquely mine
I will take ownership of it
By  understanding it
It’s different than anyone else’s
It’s mine

If you need help
See a counselor

More on Overreaction

More on Overreaction
12-15-15

Overreaction
It’s the prelude to anxiety
Which is a worry about what might happen
Not just a concern
But a worry
Followed by another and another…

Worrying 
It’s a troubled state of mind
It’s anxiety
It’s distress, it’s uneasiness
It’s not a healthy state
It’s not helpful

Overreaction
It leads to anxiety
But anxiety doesn’t build up
All by itself
It takes me to fuel the fire
Which I cause by my overreaction

We fuel the fire
It only burns as hot as we make it
It may first be just a flicker of a flame
Don’t overreact
By adding a new worry
That will make the fire grow

Stop the fire of anxiety
Don’t add on another worry
It will only make it worse
Stop!

What Is Anxiety?

What is anxiety?
12-8-15
Tuesday
Child and Family Day

What is anxiety?
It sounds like a monster
It seems to really shake people up
And sometimes it can be scary
Yes!

Worries
They may have to do with anxiety
A racing mind
I feel lost
I’m a mess

The future
It doesn’t look good when I’m anxious
I feel helpless
I don’t know what to do
Or what I am doing

Concentrate
Are you kidding?
I don’t know where I’m at, or where I‘m going
And you’re trying to tell me something
Help!

And I can go on and on and on
There’s no end to it
Help me!

That’s my job
