Bored, Relaxed, or At Peace

Is this what serenity feels like?

When your mind is quiet

And the to-do lists
Have stopped whirring

When you can take a deep breath
And your mind isn’t spinning

Your body feels
Calm

Your heart rate feels
Steady

You are off the roller coaster
For a second

Breathing isn’t labored

You’re not beating yourself up
Or thinking about

What you could have done
Or should be doing

Worries are a thing of the past
Anxious thoughts
Are gone

Feeling safe
And serene

This is the new you
The one who believes in themselves

The one who knows
They’ve got it

The one who laughs at fear
And trepidation

The one who
Walks tall
And feels free

Confident and peaceful
Lighthearted and fun

People love
To be around you
Your joy is contagious
