Eat as if you love yourself.
Give nutrients and love
to the most precious of gifts you’ve been entrusted with.
Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of food
for without, you wither away, like the flowers in the fall.
Be patient with yourself.
You’re a work in progress
and you don’t have to have it all figured out.
Enjoy the labyrinth of life.
Observe and appreciate each stone you step on
as you wind in and out of the paths.
Not one singular path is the right one.
Be flexible with yourself.
Let the past be free.
Release that bird from the cage
that you’ve been holding hostage for years.
It’s place is not inside your home
where you can be with it any time you choose.
Watch as it flies away into the distance.
Say a cheerful goodbye
for when it leaves, you will have less clutter,
one less thing to clean up after or worry about.
Take a break.
Go for a walk, and enjoy the moment.
My dear you have all day to live inside your head.
Clarity comes in these moments
when you observe the wind
the air
the smell of fresh cut grass.
Life and the demands can wait for a moment.
The stressors of life can weigh you down.
It’s ok to step outside every once in a while
and appreciate all you have in life.
The most important of all is this:
Treat yourself like the valuable jewel you are.
Life As I Know It
