A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 167

Day 167: “Reinvention”

I’m getting into a new routine

Working out

Eating right

Rinse

Repeat

I’m starting to get the hang

Then I can get back on track with my poetry

Who said you can only become resolute at the start of the year?

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 130

Day 130: “Deep Breaths”

I’m happy to report

That I breathed today

Deep inhales

And exhales

When I was stressed,

I took a deep breath

When I was tired,

I took a deep breath

When I was annoyed,

I took a deep breath

I felt calm, cool, and collected

Deep breathing looks good on me

Day 91: “A New Start”

I saw a video online that jumping 50 times to start your day makes you happier

I will say,

Today it did give me a boost

I’ll let you know how it goes

Boots on and off the ground journalism

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 52

Day 52: “Routine”

I’ve never been good at routine

One low energy day

One low energy hour

One low energy second

And I abandon all that’s good for me

I revert

To old patterns

Even if they don’t serve me

I’d rather

Have my new routines

Be my fallback

How do I get there?

Repetition

And

Routine

Or maybe it starts with intention

I intend to build better habits

There

It’s solved
