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 Mini Mindful Moment of Rejuvenating with the Beauty of Australian Bushland
If one were to venture into the Australian bush in early springtime one would find,
Near every plant preparing to turn the usually monotone blue grey hues,
Into an epic array of a colourful display ~ not limited to shades of yellow and pink,
But an abundance of white/orange/purple/red and even a delightful element of blues,
To entice and enchant all whom pause long enough to take a fragrant breath and notice.
For once cleansing rain storms clear the dust and winter debris from leaf tip through to roots deep in the soil,
Near invisible flower buds start to abundantly grow ~ at times in greater numbers than the plants have leaves,
Akin ones energetic core being rejuvenated and rippling out into ones physical glow as they toil,
Allowing denser elements to transmute into lighter styles cueing seraphic mental reprieves,
After one’s lucubrated time away throwing balance into too tight a stress fueling coil.
Yet soon these buds have filled to the point they’re overflowing their protective ‘shell’,
Radiating their soon to bloom vibes throughout the bushland announcing spring’s to swell,
Like when one walks into a room uplifting it with their presence energetically cell by cell,
The flora’s enchanting it’s way through blooming enticing many an insect and more with its sweet fragrant smell,
As petal by petal unfurls in an outback and beyond perceptually endless bouquet for early springtimes spell.
Allowing those whom can a decadent time to seraphically enjoy a walk through their display,
Replenishing from ones mind to soul given the moment to acknowledge their bud through bloom,
For one can witness their whole melodramatic cycle in mere metres if they care to mindfully foray,
By tree and under where hidden blossoms on often unnoticed ground covers loom,
Despite needing to stay aware of any young chicks and fauna protective parents are watching play.
‘Till eventually the flowers wilt and fall with the help of a warm yet often gentle evening zephyr,
Floating lackadaisically to the ground below reminding all of our physical being mortality,
Though the bushland will soon again bloom in kind ’tis time to prepare for the summers heat,
To prepare to endure the challenges of our lives after reaping from what we’ve tended through stability,
So we can grow/evolve beyond our current best ~ to bloom with increasing grandeur we’re unable to yet imagine…
A Poetic Moment Pondering Releasing the Mundane to Handle Disruptions with Mindful Focus
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
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 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 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 Contemplating Transforming Your Life with the Quiet Thread of Spiritual Awareness
In our world increasingly obsessed with constant productivity and performance many have forgotten the quiet whisper of our souls,
As from the first electronic orchestral decibel of our morning alarms we robotically rise from our comfortable beds,
Chasing the most we can from each moment in time ~ seeking meaning in unread often meaningless emails and endless scrolls.
Amongst an overstimulating rush of notifications and endless to-do lists which leave many of us sensing something missing ~ like an invisible thread once connecting us to a deeper element…
For somewhere between the near never-ending buzzing of notifications/the echo of our own footsteps and forever revolving roles,
Often hums a silent question in the abyss of our thoughts:
“Is this mundane chaos really all there is to this life?”
Surely we were not born to just produce/perform/prove ourselves and repeat.
Thus why weaving spirituality into the flow of ones daily routine isn't just a practice from ancient wisdoms song,
’Tis an essential element to the design of ones seraphic modern lifestyles path to lasting peace/purpose/power,
Creating space amongst the chaos for our connection and alignment to flow in a way we resonate hence belong,
From a part of us that is older than any ambition ~ quieter than any possible fear one may cower,
Truer than any title one can obtain that’s constantly being frayed by modern life’s hectic spiral strong,
The element needed for one to bloom from their core akin to the most fragrant and stunning flower.
Yet what if the spiritual peace we crave isn't found in doing more but in being more mindfully aware?
Maybe it be speaking in sighs between meetings ~ In speckled rays of warm sunlight slipping through a window enticing you a moment to stare,
Perhaps ’tis hiding in the stillness after your last word has been spoken for the day whilst your thoughts fade their tendency to compare.
For from my perspective spirituality shan’t be ones escape rather the resounding energetic return to your core’s alignment even if for a moment rare,
Returning you to presence. To pulse. To purpose. To awakening ALL your senses. To consciously becoming more aware…
Subsequently ones spiritual practise can start being uncovered simply with the breath you remember to acknowledge,
The walk you take without a podcast. The prayer you whisper to no one yet know in your heart is heard by all.
For not all spiritual practises are reserved for sacred churches/temples or mountaintops quiescent ledge,
Quintessentially ’tis the quiet force that can transform our lifestyles flow into a path of purpose/resilience/inner clarity ~ supporting one despite the chaos to stay standing seraphically tall,
As you don’t always need a building to remember and align to who you actually are within your core ~ just your mind and an adjustment in your perspectives pledge,
Essentially energetically you’re body is your own personal sacred place whilst your mind has the needed ability for the conscious element of any chosen ritual…
For ones sacred flame within may dull but always refuse to go out completely no matter how loud or insane the world perceived beyond becomes.
Thus just take a moment {irrelevant how short} to pause. Allow your soul a chance to speak the divine energetic language in silence.
Let your lifestyle become one more of aligned meditative flow rather than of disconnected distance from the world ~ with a deep, connected, fearless immersion in it.
Infusing your unique variant of spirituality into your daily life through an ever evolving practise of reconnecting and further aligning with your inner worlds substance,
Which however, might just be the most revolutionary act in this increasingly disconnected age of constant distraction,
Because ultimately, others remember your energy ~ the way you shine ~ enlightening/guiding them towards realigning hence thriving with their own inner divinity throughout life’s dance.
A Poetic Moment on Achieving Inner Harmony Thru Reconnecting with Yourself
The days may often seem overly chaotic when one is disconnected in their life’s throws,
Yet with a mere moment one can reconnect and create a flow to their mundane,
Harmonising the chaos and creating a more seraphic lackadaisical illusion,
Even though to the unknowing eye everything one may be enduring is still the exact same…
For ’tis purely a case of evolving your energetic alignment and perspective,
Though it will take a fragment of time to fully align into ones everyday,
One will feel it long before it can be seen in their physical and by others when reflective,
Yet once one masters it ~ it will certainly be an element rather easy to have stay.
As when one has concreted the habits of self-mastery into ones lifestyle,
Even in challenging times of disconnect they shall return with greater ease in a brief while,
For one’s energetic paths once sturdy can guide ones realignment through energetic reconcile,
Restoring balance and harmonising chaos from within ones inner domicile.
Thus while lucubrating through learning and implementing ones path to self-mastership,
Remember one will always have moments where one feels they’re a farce,
Though it may only be a human element for one to let challenges now and again have you trip,
Knowing one can rise and restore to beyond ones highest physical self's ability can support ones doubts to swiftly pass.
So with knowledge in a growing abundance and a curious thought on ones side,
Perhaps ’tis a resonant time for one to venture onwards upon ones transformative quest,
Through a guided moment of mindful quiescence like the array upon The Poetic Life 2.0,
In ones seraphic location of choice with beverage and journal at hand as into ones mastery your mind can rest.
A Cleansing Mini Mindful Moment of Natural Renewal in the Outback
Imagine in this moment you’re a tall gumtree in Australia’s Outback,
You’ve endured loosing leaves in droughts where red dust chokes,
Protected an abundance of others through many a blistering summer,
Blossomed beyond what ones imagination could ever possibly evoke.
The world around you is serene though dry ~ grasses have all hayed off,
There’s nothing but the most established flora and luckiest of fauna to be found,
The dust is coating everything again ~ breezes cannot even blow it completely away,
The air is thick with not just dust but ’tis humid to the point theres near not a sound…
For the sky o’er head is not blue but the darkest of greys,
Bringing an element of hope that the dust shall adjourn to memories forays,
As the clouds burst forth needed rains to quench all for days,
A welcome reprieve for all whom have the ability to survive through natures displays.
Eventually the irritating dust settles under a cooling watery mist,
That gradually increases to rinse the dust from heavy almost crispy leaves,
Pacing itself ‘till it reaches the deepest points of even the thickest debris,
Washing away blockages so deeply hidden they’re unknown ~ making space anew for fresh air’s heaves…
Raindrop by raindrop this moment continues with a gentle cooling breeze,
Gently rinsing ‘till refreshed even the most stagnant areas of ones soul,
Revitalising all it seeps into whilst cleansing all whom are upon this area of earth,
So one may enter a cycle of thriving once again within ones beings role.
A Poetic Moment Pondering Ways to Hone a Wavering Focus thru Clearing Your Mind
Trying to complete any task when our mind is pondering other things,
’Tis a challenge unlike any other the universe can throw,
For despite our will to complete the task we’ve at hand,
When our ability to focus flails our productivity follows,
Leaving one with an abundance of extra challenges in stow...
Thus why taking a moment to journal ~ at least when times like these arise,
May support ones mindset towards a more favourable perspective,
Thru the clearing of whatever be ones mental distractions,
That are clogging ones ability to flow through their tasks focused,
Releasing them to written word so one can return to them in more idealistic times reflective…
Yet most know simply mind dumping upon an empty page,
’Tis often not as lucrative as one would desire for minds to engage,
Needing a meditative moment or effective meditative task,
To clear the thoughts fogging up ones focus and hone it upon where one needs it to be cast,
Allowing one greater ability to flow through with added clarity surpassed.
Though still some find their minds continue perceived uncontrollable wondering,
Overflowing with elements of distracting thoughts demanding ones pondering,
With all other attempts to focus flailing to clear ones mind,
Giving in with a cuppa in hand ~ and perhaps some cake in kind,
And just allowing said thoughts a moment may just be the final step to release you from their insufferable bind.
