Reaction

Typical the light turned red

I haven’t time to get things done

Why does that woman stand and chat instead

of move along the queue, can’t she see it’s not fun

Nobody understands my stress

The kids have left the house a mess

Everyone’s on the road today

Why is my computer slow – it’s causing me time delay

I haven’t time to get things done

These thoughts

add to anxiety and stress

Roil the hormones – nerves a mess

Reinforce the status quo

I am so distressed I knew – I know

There isn’t enough time to get things done

If only there were another way to get things done today

The light is red

Nothing to be done – relax regroup you can’t run

In that queue stand and plan or smile and breath

Relax the shoulders remember time can’t be outdone

Panic just wastes time causes stress

Plans awry then stop and think

What makes the difference between swim or sink?

The true cause of our emotional reaction

to events is our own thoughts.
