Overcoming Despair by John/Inner Strength/Self-Confidence/Positivity/Good Mental Health/Awareness



Overcoming Despair

 

I feel as if I am drowning,

my face forever frowning.

My mind slips into despair,

and hope feels all too rare.

Each negative thought,

is so expensively bought,

costing my feel-good factor,

making me my own detractor.

Yet if I allow my emotions to settle,

I realise it is mainly me testing my ‘mettle’!

By breathing long, slowly, and deep,

I realise the road to peace isn’t so steep.

Then I find a sliver of my inner sunshine,

and I allow it to be strong, for it is MINE!

Negatives change to positives in my mind,

and it is now only positive change I find.

Automatically banishing those shadows and blues,

is for me the most welcome HEADLINE NEWS!

This subliminal meditation is here.


 There is a selection of my art on canvas and other 

mediums available in my

Bonanza Shop here.

 
I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?
 
You are most welcome to visit my self-help youtube
 

And you will find an excellent read in this story by my son Colin, and it is here.

The Tides of Life by John/Recognising Inner Power/Knowing/Strength of Purpose/Self Empowerment


 The Tides of Life

 

In seeing problems as challenges,

and recognizing good and bad

as the “tides of life”,

one can look forward

with joyous anticipation

to navigating a positive, happy future.

Every Step of the Way by John/Words of Comfort/Hope/Inner Knowing/Determination


 Every Step of the Way

 

The Great Eternal Spirit speaks thus:-

 

“When you are cold,

I will warm you.

When you are upset,

I will comfort you.

When you are angry,

I will soothe you.

When you feel alone,

never forget, I am with you.

Remember,

you need only ask,

and I am with you,

every step of the way.”

Interictal Dysphoric Disorder by John/IDD/Epilepsy/Good Health/Healing/Calming


 

Interictal Dysphoric Disorder (IDD)

 

It often feels like an energy overload,

or at times like a car crash on a busy road.

My whole system seems to go haywire,

as my senses are consumed by blazing fire.

And afterwards there is no calm after the storm,

as my energies crash and I feel irritable and forlorn.

Help me please is my determined and hope filled cry,

and that to this condition I can then bid, GOODBYE!

Beauty and Simplicity

 

There is great simplicity,

and a great beauty,

It is beautifully simple,

Indomitable Will by John/Being Assertive/Self-Awareness/Self-Determination/Self-Confidence/Focus


Intermittent Explosive Disorder

 

It hits me like a streak of lightning,

and before I know it, I feel like a-fighting.

The blood is pounding in my head,

and my veins are popping, and I see red.

The cause, real or imaginary, doesn’t matter now,

as I face them with aggressive stance and heavy brow!

A part of me knows this me, is not who I want to be,

but unfortunately, common sense has gone and deserted me.

I regret this overwhelming rage and being so mean,

and I must now train myself to be calm and serene.
