Mindfulness Challenge —
If you can take ten mindful breaths —
You have opened the door of stopping.
You have given yourself an opportunity,
An opportunity to stop running.
If you can take twenty more mindful breaths —
You have taken your foot off…
The accelerator of non-stop thinking,
The train of endless worrying.
If you can take another thirty mindful breaths —
You have entered the realm of joyful rest.
The realm of relaxing your mind,
A great badge of mindful breathing.
If you can take a third set of thirty —
You will see the door of a healthy mind.
From this point forward there is a path —
To your healing and transforming.
