Movement for the Mind..

Listless, restless, aimless

Thus wanders my mind

Unfocused, unable to process

Ready to break free from the grind..

*

Be mindful, chides my inner critic

See, listen, focus, pay attention

My mind tries (half-heartedly) every trick

To be present is not its intention

*

Stop wasting time, it’s precious indeed

Admonishes my inner voice

My mind fails to increase its speed

Dismissing the admonishment as mere noise

*

I am being stifled, cries out my mind

I need a recharge, a change of pace

I go for a walk outside, and find

My mind has settled in a better place

*

There intersected my body and mind

My mind was stimulated by movement indeed

Each time I am stuck, myself I remind

That physical activity is what I need..
