Train your thoughts

to turn from the

self-depriving,

time consuming,

over-thinking,

words that continue to replay

continually in your own mind.

Free yourself

from what you

could’ve

would’ve

should’ve

said.

indulging

in the cares

and concerns

of what others think,

is self-contained

punishment.

Free yourself

from allowing those

racing thoughts

to run carelessly

throughout each corner

of your own mind.

Free yourself…

you have the authority

to command,

anxiety to be still.

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose mind is steadfast, because they trust in you.”
