POEMS:

"Honey Pot" - Josh Lynott

today,

the honey pot has its own religion.

it is as amberas sugar turned caramel

i stirred on the stove.

i think

of diving in

to slow

and slow

then melt.

i think

of the sweetness inside,

i desire.

as though

in a dream like this

love oozes

round and

round again.

Strategy:

Pre-planning:

• Know what feeling you are working towards.
• Understand the risk you are taking and what discomfort you are willing to choose.
• Build an acceptance plan of/for this suffering.

Future planning:

• What systems do you have in order?
• What appointments can you book in for the future?
• What friends can you catch up with?

Buffer Period:

• How can you be kind to yourself in this time?
• What are your unique pillars of well-being?
• What appointments do you need to book in?

Integration period:

• How can I move slowly throughout this time?
• What is something small I can implement daily to make this change sustainable?
• How can I re-align my "life symmetry?"

Embrace Challenge:

• What are light challenges I can take on that will help stimulate my brain and create new neural pathways?
