20 peaceful poems I wrote to deal with anxiety
set yourself free, you were born to roam.
Late last year I started a daily meditation practice — something that’s now an essential part of my morning routine. The practice originally came as a way to deal with anxiety. Over time it’s become a spiritual practice, one I do whether I’m feeling calm or not.
Through meditation, another practice was born – and I’ve found it incredible for dealing with anxiety, fear, and other challenging emotions.
I’d never read poetry in my life. I still don’t. But something told me I should write. Writing as a way to deal with anxiety has taught me that just beneath the thinking mind, there is peace waiting to be discovered.
These poems came from a meditative place, may they bring you that same feeling.
20 peaceful poems
set yourself free
you were born
to roam.
could you be
one of the few
who’s not afraid
to be you?
you can’t imagine
the beauty of
your soul.
i’m not broken
i’m going through
my chrysalis phase.
