Stressed? Yeah. Me too.

Stress

By: Erin

“Kill me now”

“This is impossible…. HOW?”

“I will never get this done.”

“I just want to be in the sun.”

Sweating bullets

Beating heart

I don’t even want to start

I can’t do this

I’m not good enough

This is going to be sooooo rough

Stop

Just stop for a moment

Breathe in breathe out

Let the oxygen work throughout

Make a list

Chug through it with time – persist

Take breaks as you need

Then continue on and proceed

Don’t forget to breathe in air

Stretch, stand or say a prayer

Then keep going – you’re almost done

Then you can play in the sun

For things a list won’t help or relieve

Remind yourself and try to believe

This stress will not last forever more

So ride it out as you’ve done before

Apply self-care

Here – there – everywhere

And don’t forget you are not on your own

We’re right here – just pick up your phone

Stress is real

We have to deal
