You Owe It To Yourself

Peace And Quiet

“The mind

is like water.

When it’s turbulent,

it’s difficult to see.

When it’s calm,

everything becomes clear.”

It is difficult

to stop our minds

from ‘talking’.

When we are going through a hard situation,

our thoughts can go backwards and forwards,

trying to find a solution,

whilst all we get is a headache.

It is at a time like this

that we need to learn to

stop,

sit down

and breathe.

When our breathing calms down,

our whole body will

and this includes our mind.

We cannot possibly think

with a chaotic mind,

but when it calms,

we can start to think

more clearly.

Peace.

Serenity.

Calm.

Once we are all three,

we can begin

to make wise and sensible decisions.

You owe it to yourself.

Stay Calm.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
