De-Stress the Dis-Tresses
Watch the multi-tasking drivers talking on the phone.
This is a story of our daily life-style that we overlook and condone.
Recognize the familiar a.m. and p.m. rush-hour cast?
Could this be you in traffic on the 405 Fwy? Or Sepulveda Pass?
We’re a self-selected group of L.A people here,
Chasing “The American Dream” with Gucci, anxiety and fear.
Caught up and concerned with the invincible fountain of youth,
We end up adding on years to what is already the truth.
Sleep deprived while under or over exercised,
Cortisol levels are on the rise.
Cares and worries conquer your thoughts.
Moments of anxiety like these, definitely come easy no matter what you were taught.
The only person who makes the rules is you to measure.
Value the now and don’t succumb to the daily grind and pressures.
It’s a good time for meditation, yoga, or tai-chi
So stop texting, get off your blackberry, leave alone the cell
Open your heart, spirit, and TRUTH to “Living Well”.
From Bad Hair Days to Burnout HAIR
Is the teachings of the HAIRESS and her Tresses.
One attains their dharma path to de-stress from 21st century distress.
