In response to the Six Sentence Story Weekly Challenge
Centered
Careful to stay on point, I choose the place to position my focus
Everything around me has faded as I center my thoughts on the focal point
Not to be sidetracked, I fight the urge to look about and mind wander
Telling myself this is for a purpose I try my best to stay on point
Eventually, I loosen up, letting go of intrusive thoughts as I gain clarity
Releasing my anxieties, focusing on the point, breathing naturally, I am centered

I remember doing meditations along such lines. I find myself now reading the Bible.

Excellent acrostic Six, Lisa. It is about choice and though not always easy, persistence pays off.

As Mimi says, it’s important to clear one’s racing thoughts. I find myself centring myself more an more, and it works. A cleverly done acrostic, Lisa.

Nicely crafted. I’ve been practicing breathing techniques for a long time now for grounding, and lately for helping to sleep.
