Therapy Thoughts: Planning the day

 Planning my day

What shall I do?

So many activities to think of

Or is it so few?

Cleaning and cooking

Caring and creative working.

Shall I go out or shall I stay in?

Can I exercise enough

To lose a bit of the bulge?

If I wear generous clothes, then it hardly shows

How much I have indulged!

What should I eat to keep boredom at bay?

I miss my friends and family too

What is on the box?

I hear a voice say

No, not doing that yet!

Do not want to feel that this day has slipped by

With nothing to show of my planning and intentions

My excellent, outstanding

New Year’s notable mentions.

I am just going to give myself space

Spend a moment now

Just for a moment’s grace

To gather my thoughts and structure this day

Call it meditation, mindfulness or just that I pray

But now I am still

Calm and tranquil

Letting out the stress and the panic

Feelings of lockdown going

No longer frantic

I can see my way through

That is it, I am ready to show

I welcome this day now so ready, steady…Go!
