I am a healthy,
whole, beautiful
being.
But sometimes I forget that.
When I get in a rut and
don’t workout for awhile;
when I put my kids’ needs
before my own;
when work gets the best of me;
when I forget to stop,
just stop, and breathe;
when I forget to get
outside and marvel in all
the beauty around me;
when I put a clean, perfect
house over having friends over;
when I cover up my natural beauty
with too much makeup;
when I’m running around
thinking everyone needs me
(except me);
when I rush, rush, rush;
when I’m arguing with my family
instead of laughing with them;
when I drink too much;
when I play too little;
when I start blaming
everyone around me;
when I stop learning new things;
when I ignore that little
voice inside me that’s
usually right;
when I criticize myself for
ten pounds here or there;
when I think my ass
is too big,
my breasts are too small,
hips too wide,
or belly too soft;
when I believe naysayers
around me;
when I don’t make time
for myself.
I need a place to
unwind,
unravel,
relax,
be,
get grounded,
get inspired,
take care of myself,
slow down,
breathe,
and remember,
I am a healthy,
whole, beautiful being.
