Remember science class?
Remember learning that energy does not disappear?
Funny, isn't it, how often we forget to remember
That energy is constantly in a state of flux
Meaning that ...
It doesn't take much for one kind of energy to change into another...
Each time my energy turns toward creative (productive) thinking
Less energy is available to feed frustration or fear ...
Since frustration and fear have a tendency to spike
With less provocation than most tend to think
It's good to know that positively focused support calms spikes of emotion
Which tend to simmer 'neath the surface of conscious awareness
If asked why my spirit perked up, so quickly ...
During my strike, I'd reply ...
While watching the members of my family
Doing their best to pull together to captain our sinking ship
The frustrated side of my mind had good reason to smile
Once I felt smiley and perky all of me re-energized, naturally
As these next few chapters unfold
I'll offer up examples of doings that caused
My spirit to actually laugh out loud ... repeatedly ...
So, get ready to watch light hearted laughter producing ...
Endorphins, which catalyzed my sense of well being
To feel well fed ...
With endorphins intertwining with rest
I felt so revitalized
As to naturally jump off that bench
Where, for good reason
I'd chosen to retire
All aspects of my exhausted self, until ...
A sparkling sense of enthusiasm renewed itself ...
Naturally ...
And as positive focus had had reason to strengthen ...
Naturally ...
I was able to cheer my team on without feeling the need to
Reclaim a lick of work ... as of yet :)
If at this point
You ask me to choose an insight
Which led to a new awareness
That stood heads above the rest
I'd reply:
It made no sense to expect others to respect me more than I'd respected myself
