Mental Chores
reminding myself my goals
and what i have done to achieve them
plan my next step to move ahead
and keep a secure distance
from being wrapped up in other peoples emotions
Like giving myself four compliments a day
as i look in a mirror
to take my negativity of self away
keeping myself balanced
and telling my subconcious what i would like to do
and how to act in certain situations
Looking at the walls i have built
and analysing wether or not i am letting down my guard
wether or not i am ready to open my heart
wether or not the pros outway the cons
wether or not depends on all of my mental chores
Keeping in check I don't hang my emotional baggage on someone else
realising new people in my life have yet to do me wrong
keeping an open mind and defining my personal boundaries
talking myself out of tight situations before they come up
I will not go down the same road to temptation that broke my heart
wrecklessness left behind the wheels before the cart
the hindsight of how to evolve and the truth of patience as a virtue
like leaving a note in my own pocket for me to find in the future
what i need to hear that i have become to believ as true
as my qualities and reminding myself the proof that i have improved
improved my body
improved my health
improved my level of responsibility
for i did not always have thes accomplishments
and the bitterness of lifes start to work to where ive gotten
i need to look back and thank myself
for being soo awesome
