It can be an awkward time when I'm feeling down and low, Yet I know I'm feeling worse than the situation actually is. Unpacking this takes a lot of energy. I ask myself, Do I want to go there? Do I want to turn and focus on why I'm feeling worse than it is? What fears are driving this? What worry is taking over? And how can I safely release this? I turn my eyes to the bigger picture. I point my mind to messages that support me. I move my body to adjust my emotional state. I reflect on how I can help myself. I choose the form of self-help that fits right now. I befriend myself. I make gestures of self-compassion. I take my time as I turn the corner to reducing stress, To helping myself mentally, And to simply feeling better. I let the feelings speak, And I speak to the feelings. I'm caring for my emotions. I'm hearing them out instead of pushing them away. I draw strength from my support system. I give myself breaks from the emotional heavy lifting. When I'm feeling worse than what's happening, I make sure I get the feelings out, I bring them to light, And I release them into the sunset.
