May Is Book Writing Month

It’s Another Way to Look at the World

It’s another way to look at yourself,

And your life.

What do I want in this lifetime?

What are my goals?

Where am I heading in life?

We all want happiness,

Love and peace and joy.

I do. You do.

We deserve it.

You can make it happen.

Let these poems open you up,

So you can be free to be yourself,

So your soul can breathe,

So you can truly live your life

To whatever degree you wish.

Let the poetry stir your very being

With hope,

And the belief,

That I can find happiness,

Love and peace and joy

We deserve it.

Anxiety Reduction Month

Be Free of Anxiety

This is our goal.

We want to be free of anxiety.

What is it?

It’s a state of uneasiness,

Apprehension and worry

About what’s going to happen.

It can get to the level of being a mental health disorder,

A feeling of powerlessness,

The inability to cope

With whatever appears to be threatening us.

We want to be free from anxiety.

It’s unhealthy.

It can kill us in a variety of ways,

Way before our time.

We can free ourselves

From what we have previously called,

The anxiety demon,

Who’s not a very nice guy.

Our goal is freedom,

Free to be happy and at peace.

Free to love and live

And be ourselves.

This is anxiety reduction month.

A time to discuss

Our anxiety solutions.

That will be our focus this month.

It May Never Happen

And I worry about it just the same

And that leads to more worry

And worry after worry

It’s the Law of Attraction

A negative thought leads to another negative thought

A positive thought leads to more positive thoughts

Choose positive thoughts

It may never happen

But I let it bother me

I have done that

And I am still working on breaking that habit

It’s a habit

Which needs to be broken and can be

It’s time to do so

It may never happen

But I can’t stop worrying about it

But that’s not true

I can stop!

But I must believe that I can

I can find the way

And I can learn to believe in myself

It may never happen

But I let it happen in my head

I bring it to life

And it takes on an existence all its own

It comes to life

It’s happens in my head

It’s anxiety

Habits can be broken

Let’s talk about that tomorrow

Forgiveness Revisited

Forgiveness Revisited 

 

Forgiveness Revisited

Tuesday

Caring for Self Day

In counseling I find many patients

Who have difficulty forgiving

And who would profit greatly

If they learned to forgive

For that reason I am reposting this article on

"Forgiveness"

(Previously posted on 2-5-15)

 

 

 

FORGIVENESS

 

It’s Healthy to Forgive ...

 

Whatever you don’t forgive

You carry with you

It’s your burden

Free yourself of the burden you carry

Forgive

Choose to be free

 

Why carry the burden of another’s “sins”?

Are they really sins?

So what if they are “sins”?

Do we really want to drag them along with us?

 

Is forgiveness a weakness or a virtue?

 

“The weak can never forgive

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong”

Mahatma Gandhi

 

Imagine that!

Only the strong can forgive

Be strong!

 

Anyone can hold a grudge

It takes character to forgive

When you do forgive you free yourself from a huge burden

You are not saying what was done was ok

Or that the person deserves forgiveness

You may or may not continue a relationship with that person

Let go of grudges!

You deserve peace

 

Why hang on to the past?

Forgiveness frees us from a past burden

It gets us unstuck

 

Holding on to a grudge is like drinking poison

And expecting the other person to die

It only hurts you

 

When you forgive

You set the captive bird free

And then you realize

You have been that captive bird

 

It is also important to note

That forgiveness is about

love

If you really want to learn about love

You  must learn to forgive

 

The learning process takes time

You must believe in the value of forgiving

And then experience the fruits of forgiving

It should ultimately make us feel good
 

I’m Free
 

Freedom feels good

Happiness Day

Peace solutions

They are the same as anxiety solutions

Seek peace

And solutions come to the fore

Peace

Is the opposite of anxiety

Choose peace

It is always the best solution

Peace opens us up

To the wisdom within

It  is the source of our solutions

And awaits our summoning

Be at peace

And peace will surround you

It will envelop you

And fill your world

And peace will be yours

And love and joy will accompany it

And God will be there

Because God is love, peace and joy

Peace be with you

And with your spirit

And you will be free

And you will be at peace
