The Power of a Nap

When the day has been long or triggers have spiked, your emotions are high.

You find yourself in overwhelm regardless of every coping strategy you apply.

Your mind is racing, you think how you can surely experience every feeling at once.

The present moment is incapsulated by the intense level of distress that is in front.

You are not aware at the moment, but in the past tense you reflect that some parts of your mind were irrational. 

But it’s the power of the brain and heart connection that creates risks unsurpassable.

However, I’ve learned the benefits of actions, words, and responses in the heat of the moment are a gamble. 

Often, emotions overtake the actual need, intention at hand and words formed are a scramble.

So now, when the stakes are high, it’s the small but necessary voice that says take a nap that I heed.

For the clarity, focus, calmness I found after I rested was what my mind and body need.

There is power in patience, waiting and giving your soul essential rest.

You may surprise yourself at how your perspective may shift when you allow your thoughts a nest.
