A Poetic Moment Pondering How to Surrendering to Tasks Supports One to Find Clarity

Daily writing prompt
What’s something you believe everyone should know.
Sometimes when we’re struggling to focus on any given task,
’Tis not a case of we need to practice techniques to hone our mind,
But rather that we’ve too varied a collection of tasks upon our to do list,
Scattering our thoughts vastly ~ too far afield from our core’s alignment to find,
Prohibiting our focus from easily holding this moments selection in the way we desire.

Thus as our mind delves from element to element often straying from where we’d like,
Mentally hastening to comprehend the task at hand then going to the next ‘fore we’re done,
Akin a bee tending flower by flower and venturing to the first step in the next while dodging a kite,
Our thoughts struggling to maintain stability if we’re forever bouncing on the run,
Tasks swirling rather than decompiling awaiting their selection in the next moments plight.

For even if one were to light a candle and practice watching it’s flame,
One may observe it’s dance with the slightest of unfelt breeze far from tame,
As our world can be perceived to be in a constant state of varying styles of chaos’ reign,
Each being in a constant state of doing even if their doing is currently slow and serene,
Or a faster paced moment supporting others as a component of an out to win team…

Hence remember this: Tasks will forever be as plentiful as stars in a clear nights sky,
All differing and lying in wait for their moment of observation in your minds focus,
Thus while one need allow themselves to just flow as unobstructed as they can in the moment that’s nigh,
Surrendering to the task at hand can at times do more for productivity than other types of hocus pocus,
Promoting one’s flow rather than increasing burnout and tensions already unideally high.

A Poetic Moment Contemplating how Embracing Fears can Help You Overcome Procrastination

Daily writing prompt
What have you been putting off doing? Why?
When we dare to undertake something new the ashes of our past experiences often cloud our minds,
Whispering within our perspective that we’re not enough for what ’tis we feel called to delve,
We need to anchor our perspectives to our driving element ~ our ‘guiding star’ ~ so it can remind us,
Of our reason ~ our motivation ~ to not leave it collecting dust wherever we happen to this something shelve,
Whilst remembering all our fears/doubts/distractions are all elements upon our paths with purposes paramount…

For amidst the silence of our seemingly relevant doubts ’tis the areas our core’s revealing to us to strengthen,
Even if ’tis just a subtle reminder one need strengthen wavering self-belief within their scattering mind,
Refining ones perception of what they can do as they venture beyond their comforts limits that constantly lengthen,
Allowing themselves the opportunities to thrive rather being entangled in stagnations confining bind,
Long before they’re challenges towards their personal evolution become a mere topic awaiting contemplation.

Hence when ones primal fears arise amongst the lucubration of your rather perfectly constructed plan,
Taking a moment to ponder their relevance to ones situation my be the easiest way to toss the smaller ones in a metaphorical pan,
So one only faces the challenges larger fears tend to construe hence allowing your mind by fearful thoughts to not be too overrun,
Remembering why you set out upon this path can be a great grounding element from whence one began,
Thus easing navigating ones way forth a fragment in the unique way ’tis only possible that you can.

Therefore why every fearful challenge one overcomes becomes a solid step upon ones path to climb,
Enhancing ones journey with inner remembrance on one’s ability to rise with each energetic step,
Supporting ones foundation as they shed the weight of perceived challenging elements in their time,
Quintessentially allowing one to evolve before the next perceptual moment they begin to prep,
Released from the energetic shackles feared in place holding you back within their near debilitating confine.

Furthermore as one’s path spirals expansively from your comfort zone just remember;
No path is ever as perfectly smooth as anyone would like ~ we all stumble over challenging elements,
Thus ‘tis in what style one perceives hence reacts that can make the difference in their adventure,
Evolving rather than retracting always increasing ones eventual likelihood of journals filled with successful toned contents,
And a respectful positive legacy happily passed down gratefully thru generations and descendants.

A Poetic Moment Pondering Releasing the Mundane to Handle Disruptions with Mindful Focus

Daily writing prompt
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
We all know those days ~ the ones that shove our schedules epically into the bin,
They’re the ones that shake up our lives in ways we can find rather annoying,
For even when we know in advance of them happening we still can struggle within,
To integrate them seamlessly into our preferred flow of our lifestyles undertow,
Long before even an element of their preparation can remotely be pondered to begin…

Yet try as we might days that throw us off course deter the mundane from stagnating,
Like long awaited road trips that take all day with children trying not to be challenging in the car,
Can have moments ones mind can find rather inspiring even if ’tis only noticed later when contemplating,
How one’s evolved through their handling of chatter and the hum of rubber to roads soon afar,
Despite todo lists screaming in the back of ones mind the whole time of what they’ve at home awaiting lucubrating.

Despite all our known tools and how much we try to apply to take moment by moment,
Surrendering to challenges can be mentally impossible despite seeming a helpless component,
If one cannot turn off their mind to what still awaits their attention when returning to said opponent,
They could miss experiencing what may lie in wait to enhance their entire life within this particular segment,
Leaving them to flail alongside with merely a snippet of potential via a much lighter fragment.

Thus casting one’s unfinished tasks aside when off on an adventure ’tis paramount,
For one to fully align to what their journey is to bless their development with,
Knowing that the divine shall allow tasks completion when they’re supposed to surmount,
As having completed every single possible task before leaving so to clear ones mind is a myth,
As one’s mind can always find an element to replace what’s done often once ones en route…

A Mini Mindful Moment Embracing Serenity through Relaxing in Nature

Daily writing prompt
How do you relax?
Envision in your mind a groves clearing ~ serene, untouched, seraphic.
With trees too thick to walk through and blooming,
Creating a delicate, earthy, sweet element for ones senses…
The ground you see yourself standing upon ’tis covered in leaf litter,
Creating a dangerous element if one were to completely lower their defences.

Irrespective this thought breathe deeply ~ invite the breath to reach deep within,
Energetically clearing debris from your body as you ground yourself in this spot,
Birds singing nearby providing a melodic aspect as this meditative moment shall begin,
Resetting one’s mind to a place of calm ~ relieving unnecessary densities that thwart,
At least until ones day prevails thus take a slow sip of your favourite beverage and mentally relax for a moment herein…

Notice the trees: the texture of their bark, the flexible strength with which they stand,
How they’ve adapted to their location in a way they can thrive in complement to the land,
Standing tall enough to provide space for an abundance of others akin to supportively holding ones hand,
Protecting the younger whom seem to giggle at the prospect of a proud future far from bland,
As they grow and strengthen their place the deeper their roots delve into the sand…

Like the trees we too must allow our energetic tendrils to spiral out,
Finding their way through the plethora of debris and others to secure our place,
Deeply entwined within the energetic elements of our stunning mother earth we need maintain a route,
Ensuring we’re grounded as we flow through each moment at a divinely timed pace,
Connected in a balanced, aligning way that’s increasingly freeing our path from doubt.

Hence as one’s relaxing moment grounding here amongst the trees draws to a close,
Ensure you’ve noted how you’re feeling ~ the weight of your hair that tangles as the breeze blows,
How your breath cools your nose/throat/deep into your lungs and how your spine may tingle,
The positioning of your stance whilst your legs hold you ~ strong and flexible much like the trees trunks,
Whilst you note the sound of the leaves and twigs you crunch underfoot with every step you mingle.

A Poetic Moment on Navigating Life’s Detours to Return to Vocational Endeavours

When we’ve truely found our aligned vocation life can shove it aside,
For any amount of time and we can pick it back up with relative ease,
Like we’ve not taken an extended moment away from it’s lucubration,
Whilst another element of our lives demands the majority of our attention,
Until we can return to our curated flow after a touch of personal recalibration.

As the time we believe we’ve lost isn’t wasted ~ ‘tis a detour to gain life experience and wisdom,
To evolve our vocational endeavours into more than they’ve ever been able to be before,
And although in the moment we may be worrying that we’re not allotting them necessities to become,
We’re actually at least subconsciously gaining additional inspiration for our creations galore,
Allowing us when we return to our lucubrating to retune our efforts with a sweeter toned strum,

For whilst we may be under the illusion that our flow may seem to be misplaced for a time,
The melody of all we’ve previously created remains ~ like background music to life sublime,
Throughout each moment we venture be it overly challenging or flowing ajar in a seraphic rhyme,
Our abilities tend to often only grow and evolve into something greater as we continue to climb,
Irrespective of our perception on when we think we’ve hit the pinnacle of our projections prime.

So when life throws one’s flow off course remember this ~ even stars appear to loose their way,
When cloaked from our view behind clouds and when the sun shines ever bright,
Yet they always return to our perception shining seemingly brighter once obstructions cease to play,
Twinkling away at their own vocation whilst inspiring many spontaneously with their light,
Effortlessly enchanting us with a reminder that even after the darkest storm passes all can still be okay.

Thus life may wander but the thread between our vocational gifts and our days flow never snaps,
It just stretches and simmers awaiting our eventual return ~ cracking yet somehow rarely actually breaking,
‘Till we find a way to follow it’s path again in sync with all that vies for time in our overflowing day,
Balancing akin an elephant on a spiders web, often teetering though unfailing our destined return,
For all aligned with our inner core stays true to our being ~ forever awaiting its moment to join in life’s foray.

A Poetic Reminder that Finding Balance Includes Embracing Rest in a Chaotic Life

On the days one finds their flow a little clunky ~ a little dull, near hazy yet ironic…
It may just be a simple ebb to the flow of ones chaotic norm allowing one a moment to rest,
A simple lull though it may leave one feeling like there is something missing ~ something off,
As if an element has been overlooked within this current moment upon ones lifelong quest,
Yet even once one uncovers this balancing perspective and convinces it to your mind,
It may still be a challenge to be a touch lackadaisical despite knowing in this moment ’tis rest that may be best…

Hence rather than resting one may start adding elements to the void the lull’s created,
Often things irrelevant in the long term or necessary for a different future moment,
Causing a type of procrastination in a style that seems slightly destructive when later debated,
Irrespective the importance of the side quest ones chosen to undertake instead of a replenishing component,
For even the most delightful aspect of what ones chosen to do that leaves one adequately elated,
Still drains ones being further ~ rather than energetically recharging one’s being for their next task style opponent.

Thus if one cannot ‘switch off and allow their being time to replenish with any element of ease,
Perhaps finding a meditative task to balance ones flow with a relaxing style of task may bring a greater please,
As sprinkling ‘tasks’ akin to disconnected yet mindful tea time can be enough to sway ones mental load to appease,
The stresses that weigh one towards burnouts grasp threatening one to be crawling into bed completely quanked on their knees,
Wishing they’d taken that lackadaisical moment when life’s load was light to read ‘neath the trees,
Yet when the next lull arrives they will probably once again find a way to push rather than chill leaving replenishment once again a thought upon the breeze…

A Poetic Moment Pondering The Importance of Listening to Ones Subconscious Needs

Desire, ’tis but our perception of a need often dictated by our subconscious,
Our perspective mixed with core requirements akin to wearing rose tinted glasses,
Too often swayed by what we believe to be what we’re allowed,
As so many struggle to listen to their inner voices passes,
Squashing it with believed societal rules near always irrelevant.

For when one is contemplating say buying a perceived expensive lotion,
But in their mind is a monotone ‘what about your budget/kids need new somethings/have you washed the door?’
And perhaps an; ’Others will think your selfish/neglectful for buying yourself such a potion!’
Whilst the reality is it’s highly unlikely any other soul actually cares what cream you adore,
Our minds still filter it through an unnecessary array of conscious commotion.

Thus whilst ones need in this example may be needing a balm for dry skin,
’Tis transferrable to anything one needs going through such a mental din,
Pondering if something that should be any easy it is needed let it win,
Is unnecessarily severing away at ones connection to their core voice within,
Which has the potential to ripple into allowing an abundance of disconnection challenges to begin.

As the more we don’t listen to our own voice the less we can hear it’s spin,
Loosing guidance not just on needs but warnings that can support our very survival,
For the voice of our core selves is akin to being our compass guiding our life from within,
Thus each moment we shush it with conflicting thoughts results in another severed thread to it needing revival,
And each one we don’t repair with haste leaves us with less to turn to when we try to listen therein…

However, there seems a part of our core’s always awaiting our return like a beacon,
The moment we decide to reconnect being it’s element of hope to grasp for fuel,
Despite knowing the longer it takes to commence the longer it takes to heal ones soul,
And that the process can be perceived at times as an epic internal duel,
The seraphic lifestyle once realigned and connected to one's core though delicate is never not worth the plight.

A Poetic Moment Pondering How to Dissolve Task Overwhelm for Better Focus and Mental Ease

Think of all those things you wish you could get done in each day,
That regardless how hard you try you cannot get to function the way they’re ‘supposed to’?
Whilst most have a lot ’tis not a case of ‘how to fit them in’ that this is about,
As there’s already plenty on that note in an abundance of variations to embrue,
From time management to habit support etc. the options are near endless,
But what to do with what we can’t fit in? That is what we shall be now pondering through.

For these tasks don’t just stay on to-do lists waiting their turn to be done,
They weigh on us energetically which if never released can eventually evolve into physical dramas,
Adding to our stresses and wearing away at our stamina to endure ‘till once easy things are no fun,
Slowly creating a plethora of mental/physical and energetic styles of traumas,
Which tends to grow deeper into ones being each unchecked moment once their unravelling has begun,
Until you’re needing others to care for you/an entire retreat to heal or worse all stuck in clothes like pyjamas…

However, like most things, there’s usually a simple way to tend to tasks yet completed,
So we may continue on with our high vibration strong and undefeated,
Through the process of releasing them ~ letting the energetic weight of them go as if deleted,
Which is rather super easy once mastered to be at any needed moment repeated,
Simply bring that you want to release into the forefront of your mind to be treated,
Ponder it’s weight like a rock that if held too long would make one rather depleted…

Then visualise the rock of said task being dissolved at the edges as if ’tis dropped in water and effervescent,
Fizzing and bubbling away from it’s outside to centre ’till fully dissolved,
Then closing your eyes if they’re not and imagining pouring the dissolved task down a drain is the next component,
‘Fore taking a few replenishing breaths to blow away any debris still unresolved,
And making like a tree with energetic visualised roots winding deep into earth as a grounding element,
Then returning to what you can in this next moment ~ a tad lighter knowing the weight of what you truely cannot do today is solved.

Now whilst at some point you may HAVE to do said thing you can’t fit in today,
With practise this technique shall effectively weaken it bearing a heavy load upon your mind,
Allowing you to stress about it only when it’s moment to be undertaken actually arises,
Rather than twisting you more than energetically into a horribly messy bind,
Thus making space for one to focus on the task they have to prioritise and do right now,
Even if it’s just making a mindful cup of tea, smiling to oneself and remembering to be kind.

A Poetic Moment of Reflection: Navigating the Educational Chaos of Guiding Three Boys Learning via Distance Education

As the roos find their spot to go to sleep for the morn,
’Tis time not for rushing out the door with one shoe untied before the bus drives away,
But time to tune in ~ not just to whichever teacher’s online but to the rhythm of each other,
For when you’ve a schoolroom with preschool, upper primary and high school boys going about their day,
And you’re the one guiding all three ensuring all learn to their potential,
It can be an amazing bundle of fun! Though not without challenges that can easily throw everything epically astray;

For all may be harmoniously blissful of a morn whilst everyone’s simultaneously learning a form of literacy,
However, even noise cancelling headphones struggle to eliminate distractions for a pre-teen participating in an online class…
When say an enthusiastic preschooler delves into craft whilst a teen learns to play ukulele…
Making an element of self-awareness and being extra considerate of each other becoming an essential added lesson not to bypass,
Evolving the resilience levels of all so their focus wavers from their task at hand minimally,
Until such moments ease into a needed break to recalibrate ‘fore into a more seraphic lesson combination they surpass.

Though when your classroom is at home with gumtrees and emus out the window,
Flexibility to flow and adjust in alignment with expectations ’tis a necessary skill to bestow,
So when side quests/life/sibling events take learning out into the world there’s minimal impact to educational flow…
Allowing a greater chance for all to participate in school based events without throwing others into productivities undertow,
As when classes from alternate locations ~ often in the car ~ become a normal way for adventures to go,
Lessons find themselves set up in interesting ways with clipboards, laptops and bare necessities in tow.

Thus since setting up our original schoolroom amidst the first covid lockdown,
We’ve rarely had a day one could label boring/overly lackadaisical or mundane,
For someone is always creating an element even amidst the craziest challenges to dissolve a frown,
Without jolting goals off-course or adding to stresses prominent strain,
Often bringing all back into alignments zen with an observation creating a rippling lown,
So all can achieve their days tasks irrespective of aspects like tech glitches adding a splash of mental pain.

As even if it’s a day where you’re the one bouncing from reinforcing an alphabet recital to supporting a PDHPE lesson online to assisting a teen with algebraic fractions,
If in a schoolroom of your own creation with your kids all day is where you find you’re in your element,
Chances are like me you enjoy the harmonised chaos that allows you to constantly witness your children learning new ways to thrive,
In spite of the moments you may think your perception of fun is more than slightly bent,
’Tis truely an experience that has an enchanting aspect that cannot be denied even when the wildlife try to join in sports outside,
Thus for those whom can whilst raising their offspring in the dusty Australian Outback ~ guiding them through distance education is always time well spent.


Hence for all whom think they need it: my probably controversial words of wisdom on this quest to educate ones children are as follows;
Whilst you may be a mum with a moderately reliable modem trying to guide your children’s education from the schoolroom at home/dining table/van/car,
’Tis essential you find YOUR FLOW ~ don’t stress about following timetables but create and manifest manageable DALIY GOALS,
In the end ensuring each child has a one on one session each day is more important than a strict 9-3 by far,
For whilst it may take your time in the schoolroom to exceeding say 10 hours a day,
It supports them through any aspects they’re struggling with so they can academically shine like the star you believe they are!

And Remember: We may not always climb the way others understand or design; but if we’ve the resilience to try enough, we can find our own way to the top; and as tomorrow is a new day full of endless possibilities ~ release your tensions lingering from today and recalibrate your perspective so you can start tomorrow morn afresh! 🙂

A Poetically Mindful Moment Rejuvenating Your Spirit through The Watching of a Flame.

When one feels drained ~ quanked to the core thus needing to recharge their spirit,
Discovering a way that works perfectly for your whole being,
May be as simple as taking a moment to sit with a beverage in hand,
Whilst watching a flame flicker for a stilled moment though fleeting,
Irrespective it be with others around a campfire or watching a candles flame solo,
The effects of taking a deep breath by a flame ‘tis an act of self care many a soul find replenishing…

For when one’s struggling to concentrate the simple seraphic strategy of regularly watching a flame,
’Tis an enchanting mindful practice enhancing ones mental focus and stamina to endure,
Increasing in turn ones ability to concentrate on ones task at hand with greater cognitive game,
Allowing ones ability to lucubrate to evolve quintessentially far from the lackadaisical and obscure,
Though while in the moment it may be a polar outcome from one’s intentional replenishing aim,
Energetically recharging one’s being by a campfire’s flame is never a dull or wasted overture.

Thus eventually with practise one can transform fireside moments into a mindful journeys path,
Incorporating it into one’s lifestyle as a wellness necessity for mental self care like many an empath,
As when one’s mind is clear ~ by the warmth of a flame we gain an element of clarity allowing us to be more present in the moment than walking a strath,
Free from the stresses and chaotic challenges of life’s ever continual and demanding wrath,
Whilst we bask in the deepening effects of a fires intense debris burning energetic bath,
‘Fore we return to our lives to endure once again as a glowing, replenished/restored being ready to face the aftermath.

Eventually, the continued practise of watching a flame will bring one immense peace within,
Enhancing the more spiritual aspects of ones lifestyle through it’s meditative qualities once reaching a level of mastery,
Allowing one to reflect even deeper into themselves and life beyond through a new found focus’s spin,
Though not all shall deliberately endeavour such an outcome it may still have accidental elements align adequately,
Cleansing and reconnecting one energetically to themselves and our planet each time they do opt to watch a flame therein,
However, the more one practises the stronger their abilities grow ~ ‘till they don’t even need a flame just their mind to undertake this rather thoroughly…

Hence next time you find yourself entranced by the warmth of a fires flickering flame,
Allow yourself to just be and see the outcomes you personally get to obtain,
For unless you happen to get too close a flame can only energetically replenish and clear your path,
And watching anything in a mindful manner ’tis increasingly known to support the function of ones brain,
Thus do enjoy the seraphic peiskos and reap the quintessential affects from initial sparks ’til the coals glow and flames wane…
