Opening her eyes it took a while for them to adjust to the surroundings

feeling too tired for the morning wake up

she reached for her phone to check the time, hopeful she could still in bed remain

the clock told a different story – her body complained

manually pulling her legs over the edge of the bed she got up

today was going to be different she’d made a plan

one that was fool proof and would stop those thoughts creeping into her head

she knew just what to do to be mindful, be present,

to shake things be something else instead
