Axe the grind

Days can get long when feel like we are stuck in the weeds
Extending effort to others in exchange for meeting our needs
 
Yet we can reframe our mindset to help manage through the stress 
As there may come a time when we look back and miss the mess
 
Altering our approach allows us to find meaning in the moment 
Soaking up the sweetness of the chaos by stepping up to own it 
 
May even discover that our needs can be filled in along the way 
Transforming what used to be a drag instead to a boost everyday
