***excerpt from the book Peek A Boo: My Thoughts, My Life, My Soul by Ra'Mone Marquis coming soon on March 8, 2023***
Worrying about what may happen
Causes me not to enjoy what is happening
I want to let peace wash over me
I want to relax
Wherever I am
Whoever I’m with
I want to enjoy my time there
I want to be in the moment
I fought to reduce my stress
No choice but to accept what I can’t change
I found the strength with every negative thought
Replace it with a positive one
Realizing my strength
Internalized
I am strong enough to handle it
Energy is contagious
Everyday picky
Mindful of who I am allowing into my space
I want to be peaceful
I want to be positive
I want to be grateful
I can only focus on one thing at a time
Reminding myself
Focus on what I want not what I fear
Tasking myself
Giving myself the responsibility
Free myself from all doubt and fear
Clutter and chaos occupy my mind frequently
Learning every day to silence my mind
Life keeps going
Pause
Reset
Ensuring to give myself a break
I am owning who I am
Breathe
Exhale
This is freedom
Over thinking is like quicksand
Engage in it more
The more I’m stuck
Training my mind to be calm
It’s quick to become an outstretched hand pulling me out
Peace that passes all understanding
Peace
Retraining my mind to process life as it is
Rather as I want it
Rather as it should be
My mood is my body’s warning sign
Attention
Caution
Water, sleep, peace
Tuning into my body
Modifies my mood
Peace is essential
Discipline and inner peace
Gauges my success
Avoiding life won’t lead me to peace
To achieve a calm peaceful mind
An obligation to have a calm peaceful environment
For I can’t calm a storm
But I can calm myself.
