Emilia Young - When Stress Arrives...
When stress arrives <br />Tell it to back off <br />Assess the precise situation <br />Evaluate the best possible response <br /> <br />When stress arrives <br />Breathe deeply <br />Collect ourselves <br />Address the problem creatively <br /> <br />When stress arrives <br />Compose ourselves <br />Attack the most mundane task with vigor <br />As if heaven and earth depends on it <br /> <br />When stress arrives <br />Pause and reflect <br />Upon our capabilities <br />Reset our minds using our internal clock <br /> <br />When stress arrives <br />Take our focus away <br />To a far off pleasant scenario <br />Be detached... <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright ~ Emilia Young <br />February,2008<br /><br />Emilia Young<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-stress-arrives/
