A Poetic Moment Pondering how Listening to Your Body is a Path to Wellness

Daily writing prompt
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Wellness, ’tis a delicate balance that is often swayed when one looses the rhythm of their life’s dance,
Yet often we get busy and overlook what our whole being needs holistically to maintain our alignment to it’s beat,
Pushing to achieve in a way we were never supposed to ~ disconnected not just from our core,
But from our entire being! Unable to notice it’s cries ‘till they’re symptoms in a viscous and often expensive cycles feat.

For our bodies keep score with scars and lessons guiding our souls script for our lives,
Thus if we choose to refuse to listen to our script we can find ourselves amidst challenges seemingly never ending,
Needing an abundance of supportive elements just for one to continue at least the illusion of being one that thrives,
Despite spiralling into a disconnected whirlpool often accompanied with expenses near never ending.

As our bodies energetically whisper what they need before they scream in physical pain,
Like an alarm that’s gradually increasing ~ hoping to alert our rather stressed and distracted brain,
Irrespective of deadlines/schedules and the to-do lists you may believe are important to obtain,
However if we ignore our body to chase our chosen hustle what do we truely actually gain?

Hence maintaining balance though ‘tis delicate is often not always something one needs to find,
But what one need remember to adhere by listening out for when our bodies notify us that it’s strayed,
Even if it be as simple as following strategies like drinking enough water to quench ones thirst at least in your mind,
Or inhaling a meditative breath taking note that your amazing body has endured everything that your life thus far has parlayed…

For energetically; healing has no destination ~ ’tis a reconnection to ones holistic soul,
Rebuilding fragment by fragment from the centre of ones divine core outwards entwining with all,
Thus remember that first one needs to listen to their body then allow it’s guidance to flow,
Evolving lifestyle and perspective respectively according to the aligning action it happens to call.

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…
