Soothed By The Moon

A blurry moon rise

I use to soothe

how I feel

when I’m not sure

life could be real…

Now I can tell you; it is.

Whenever I can’t tell what’s real and what’s not, nature steps in to remind me.

How about you? Leave me a reply in the comments. 🙂

How Can I Not Overthink? Preparing for the invasi

How Can I Not Overthink?

Preparing for the invasion...I read recently that it’s not actually possible to overthink, only to think inefficiently (Road Less Traveled and Beyond by M. Scott Peck). So maybe instead of trying to rid ourselves of the thoughts we find overwhelming or inefficient, we can prepare for them, plan how we’ll react to them next time they arise.

Do you consider yourself an efficient or inefficient thinker? Why?

From a chapter on Dependency, M. Scott Peck discus

From a chapter on Dependency, M. Scott Peck discusses unhealthy, passive dependency in relationships. He goes on to say: “The only way to be assured of being loved is to be a person worthy of love, and you cannot be a person worthy of love when your primary goal in life is to passively be loved. This is not to say passive dependent people never do things for others, but their motive in doing things (for others) is to cement the attachment of the others to them, so as to assure their own care. And when the possibility of care from another is not directly involved, they do have great difficulty in doing things (for others).” In other words, dependency can feel like love, but it is a form of “antilove,” according to Peck. It actually ruins relationships by trapping us in them. Instead of depending on others, Peck says to depend only on ourselves for happiness. Focusing on our own growth for happiness instead of seeking love and happiness from others will breed healthy relationships, not the other way around.

In Susan Cain’s book Quiet, on the power of introverts, she discusses what happens when we try to suppress negative emotions...they start to infect our lives and perspectives.
I found this quote in my notes this morning and found I am constantly reminding myself that emotions are there for a reason. Instead of holding them in, try taking a step back from them, observing them for a minute and express them. Identify those emotions and what might be causing them and you might see yourself letting go of them more easily.
Are you keeping negative emotions in? Which ones? Why? Let em’ out in the comments! 😊❤️👇 #quiet #susancain #introvertsunite #thewritethroughlife #quotesaboutlife #originalphotography

Whether we know it or not, we tend to make decisions based on how valuable we believe ourselves to be.
Do you consider yourself valuable?

“Spent”

This one’s not up on the blog yet. Actually, it’s my way of attempting to crawl out of this funk I feel so stuck in lately. Sometimes it’s hard to persevere when we aren’t achieving our goals as quickly as we had imagined. I’ve been struggling with this, and with my fear of failure. I think self-worth has something to do with it too. When we fail or when we don’t achieve goals as quickly as we want to, our true self-worth really shines through. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been so focused on what I’m doing wrong that I can’t even begin to think about what I’m doing right, and that’s where my problem lies. It’s made me realize I need to work hard to accept myself and my mistakes every day, no matter how big or small. We are all just human, after all.
I was reading an article this morning on ways to break a self-destructive cycle that really helped me slip back into a positive attitude. Here’s what it said: “Looking for the gift, no matter how small, in each negative experience helps reframe the thoughts associated with the experience.” -Luke Stangel, “Shirzad Chamine: Five Strategies to Challenge Negative Thoughts”

This is what I’m doing today... looking for the gifts! I hope you do too. 🧚🏼‍♂️😊 #poetrylovers #poetrylover #poetryloversunite #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetsinautumn #poeticsoul #personaldevelopment #alwayslearning #alwaysreading #readtolearn

Refill
I was tagged a while ago by the lovely @poetrybymei to do a poem with the word refill...turns out it was a very suitable word for how I'm feeling now that summer's coming to a close. Happy Labor Day everyone! 😊❤️What do you do to refill your soul? #refill #refillthesoul #thewritethroughlife #poetryart #poeticmind #photopoems #photopoetry #poetryisnotdead #poetrycommunity #poetrylover #poetrylovers #wellnesswednesday #wellnessgoals

Judgment

Just put this one on its photo recently...This poem marked the beginning of a transformation for me. It was when I decided to stop letting others deter me from doing what I knew was right for my own well-being all along.

My Worst Nightmare
This is another older poem regarding some of my biggest fears. I'd like to make a unique contribution to the world without money holding me back... my question is, do you work for money first or work for something you love until it turns into money? What do you think?
