This time is for rest

Personal space turn inward

A time to be still

A time to reflect

Changes, progress, challenges

What to take away

What to leave behind

What do I need to nurture

What to bring forward

My personal growth

Especially turbulent

Many highs and lows

Also more stable

Than the hard previous year

Emotionally

Physical body

Gone through so many changes

Frustration was high

Unhealthy body

Its hard to love my body

Physically weak

Yet strong in ways too

This is what I was given

This is what I chose

What to leave behind

What do I need to nurture

What to bring forward

What are my new goals

How do I challenge myself

In supportive ways

Ways to heal body

Ways to nurture emotions

Ways to heal the soul

It is up to me

Create my reality

Possibilities

Strengthened clarity

Conviction to do this right

I do deserve this

I do deserve this

My desire to be healthy

My right to be me

inspirational
