Body Talk 10/8/2023

Upside down
Inside out
Questions about life
Swirl around.

Need to pay attention
To what emotions
Are coming forth
And deal with
The outcomes
In the moment.

Why should we listen
To what the body
Is feeling?
Tis an extension
Of our thoughts
And emotional
Thinking.

What we think
Creates a biochemical
Change
Affecting the body
Telling us whether
It’s right or wrong
For us.

The body’s physical
Reaction
Is our emotional
Temperature gauge
To what is brewing
Inside.

Taking care of
Emotional business
By leaning into
What flares up
Prevents outbursts
And future breakdowns
That will cause
Additional damage
To any parts.

So when your body speaks
Listen intuitively
With your heart
Tis the connection
To happy living.
