Whirlwind Mind
July 20, 2017
Always in motion
I cannot seem to sit still
Rest- foreign to me
Use meditation?
Attend more tai chi classes?
Return to yoga?
These are some options
But will not help in moment
Mind in hyperdrive
Is this how I'm wired
Like energizer bunny
A walking whirlwind
As long as I stay
Grounded, somewhat in control
Perhaps it's okay
Made some good choices
When eating out with my mom
This was a big first
Who was the most shocked?
Granted, not all went so well
Hard to ingest food
Challenging to buy
Items that I need to live
Even at the store
Deserve some credit
Going out to eat is not
What I often do
And to a new place
Unfamiliar; on a whim
Out of comfort zone
But isn't that what
Recovery is about
Learning to live life
In new, better way
My old patterns keep me sick
WIllingness to change
