Winding Down From Worrying

       ~Introduction~
Sometimes our mind takes  us on a wrong turn,
And we find ourselves on Worry Boulevard.
Oh, whatever to do?

   
       " Winding Down"

Well, for starters, acknowledge your mind and thank it, 
for sharing whatever it did with you.
It will keep you in it clutches, if you allow it to!!

Remember the deep breathing?
"Smell the fresh roses,and after that, blow out the candles."
Well, then do it, it's a peaceful meeting.

Soft music that leads your mind on poetic trails, that are magical,
is just so perfect for you.
Women, can ponder some very handsome males in their minds' view.

Remember....God loves you more than the lilies of the field, be 
like them, no toil.
You make things worse with inner mental turmoil

Gratitude is your next tool. Get out your pen, and journal
what you are blessed with. 
Anything from a  warm cup of tea  to that new dress, your loving 
cat or dog~ 
Are breathing,living forms of creation with their loyal, velvet, 
tenderness can blow away the fog.

Learn a new form of poetry and above all remember to laugh!
Don't get engrossed in a worry gaffe!

On days of worry, no news or negative movies.
Find comedy and above all~humor to soothe, thee!

A dreamy, floral bubble bath with a gentle, flickering lavender 
candle.
Just thinking of that bath and beauty is more than I can handle.

Drink your cup of favorite chamomile tea~ 
Coffee may raise stress and your anxiety. 

Positive physical contact with a family of friend.
A hug, an embrace to our hearts, peace sends!

A gentle walk in God's colorful autumn, yoga, or meditation.
Remember to think of others more on these days, that is my 
heartfelt recommendation.

Hi Robert, I don't think I am wise. What I mean is, I am still learning in life. As I told Bob Hinshaw,,just share my experienceces from what many noted people taught me. I am far from a finished product and always open to learn new things. But you and I have had plenty of rough spots I. Life's journey...that sharpens our senses.......Panagiota with love xxx

If we all went through life with an attitude of gratititude, wow, Life would change, Being grateful is a purposeful act, it doesn't happen on its own. But no....humans are terrific at judging everyone but themselves. They point fingers at leaders instead of their own hearts. No person is perfect. I do include myself in that. Anyone can journal..right? Writing down what you are grateful for is the best! Of ourselves, we are nothing. Who we are in relation to others is huge. Hugs, Pangie xx
