We achieve more When we give support We reach a goal With what we have stored * In the future There is another life We build it all today But we also Live life to the best Because it helps our good energy stay * We achieve more When we find support We get a goal Together we score * In the moment We have just one life We live it our own way But we also Impact all the rest So we hope that what is meant to be stays * Like wishes of riches in justice and wellness Accomplishments made When we have all felt this * Delicious provisions We must win unselfish Astonishment plays And we can all tell this * We achieve more When we feel support We set a goal No one gets ignored
Just some ideas: “Choosing” beliefs impacts our wellness and our understanding of the world. Boiling our beliefs down to truth can help us achieve in life. Patience and gratitude pay off.
Lots of choices Many voices We each decide what to believe * Truth is always How we take it Play it right and we will achieve * Develop a better understanding After first impressions That could be bang on And improve our life Or at least maintain it We have to work it To be feeling fine * Patience rejoices Steady choices When we decide what to believe * Choose our always How we make it If we take our time We will achieve * Much more understanding Or open expression If we are thankful It improves our life With how we explain it We have to work it So we feel alright
What is next? Pass the test Another challenge So complex * What is next? Please no hex Don’t need more chaos So hard-pressed * To get through with no stress is always best * What is next? Just the best We have good balance We are blessed * What is next? Heaven’s quest To get more days off God confessed * We only get through with enough rest Plan each project For the best * We often work through anything And treasure whatever is left Some projects may have no warning Keeping our senses is always best * Top projects involve working With crafts and tunes and rights Projects can be all morning some afternoons and nights Projects can be a sure thing More heavy duty Or light We use all of our balance To help our sun and moon stay bright * What is next? All the rest For much more pay-off Good moods protect
The poem reminds me of award-winning research that I helped with.
In 2016 our multi-University team published on “Effective self-management strategies” (in mental health).
Qualitative research.
Delphi consensus, a panel of experts, (doctors, nurses, counsellors, caregivers, people with lived experience, etc.) rate stategies across multiple surveys to develop consensus on effectiveness of strategies, (drawn from exhaustive literature review, interviews and multi-media research).
We determined the top strategies. We also did a thematic analysis. Many conclusions could be drawn.
Relative to this poem, and a relatively unique finding, to be statistically measured, is that one of the top strategies to achieve mental health is to maintain HOPE. Of course, maintaining physical health and other strategies are also key to mental health, but it was somewhat groundbreaking to statistically identify the value of hope.
Open the door Never close it We have the presence of mind To stay more focussed * Sometimes it’s hard work Just to show up We have to get through the grind So that they know us * Status quo Seems so robust Change is constant The future grows up * Maintaining a vision can be a challenge Developing a system Helps us balance If we put more thought into our choices We can improve perspectives Share our voices * Answer the door Please don’t close it Just keep the presence of mind Because we chose it * Sometimes ideas Seem to blow up But there are some that we find That always show up * Steady flow Never throws us Stage that’s current Each day is hopeful
Just prove our life When they refuse to believe it There is so much to do When they just will not see it * We all have our occupations Some do work harder Some work smarter Some might be on a bright Well-deserved extended vacation * We deserve to retire Or be newly hired * We are all occupied in some way In this big equation Every single day Some concentration To make our way Without hesitation * Improve our life So they will have to believe it There is so much to do We can learn to achieve it * We all have our occupations For some it’s harder Some get farther Some always have to fight To be served By our most fair nation * We can serve the up-higher Not be unduly fired * We are all occupied in some way To avoid frustration Every single day Practice meditation It can be great To avoid escalation * We choose a calm way To embrace The hard day The physical labour And Mental distress We work though it with calm angles To pass the test Then charge through with energy that works out for the best * Find proof of life When we all start to believe it
Most of the time, I maintain reasonable content and acceptance… gratitude.
By maintaining this attitude, I get through with solutions and answers.
Most of the day I feel okay At least okay Making my way * Other times I still feel fine Most always fine Deep in my mind * The world out there Stays out there Until we care We hope it’s fair * We have to care * Most of my life I feel alright Most times alright Finding insight * Other hours I use those powers Most of my powers Current views tower * The stars up there Are always there Sometimes we care When we are aware * Truth be known We are on our own With patient views That consider the angles Build webs that don’t tangle Holding tight We feel fine Most surely fine All of the time
I can hear the birds Waking up the day They welcome us excitedly In a magical kind of way * I work through the day Sometimes through the night I can’t stop yet I can’t stop the fight * In the morning I find courage A new start is all I need Moments without worry A new day takes the lead * I can see the sun making up the day It connects to us infinitely In a transcendent type of way * I work for my pay Sometimes we are tight I can’t stop yet I can’t stop the fight * Raging through time Calm is vital A reset is what we need For moments engines idle A recharge helps us breathe * Fresh breeze is in the air
Save all of the day
Now is an eternity
Time can always go our way * I work just to stay More times in the light I can’t stop it I can’t stop the fight
In idle moments Many perspectives Seem so contrasting Feeling different from Everywhere we are standing * Optimism and courage Can derive from creativity Just like our pure certainty Emerge and see What we have planned so carefully for * Options that encourage Our whole life every single day Just like the most winning way Begin a stage That we have waited faithfully for * We are free to believe in more versions We think and work and heal We aim to succeed so wellness burgeons Nothing could be as real * No idle moments Share our perspectives? We should be asking Feeling way better when We develop understanding
The grease in the fees Seems to be increasing So I am not Releasing Any more than I have to * The score at the store Won’t fill our core more now We should share more support paying forward and be glad to * We work to live Convey what we give For our hard work We should All receive Fair wages and It can’t be about Fear and doubt How can they be allowed To keep stealing our change? It is beyond strange It is always something new * Life is expanding Connection outstanding Modern day We make our way Events in our intense lives And media understanding * Belief in our needs Should now be increasing So that we can Achieve them Don’t ignore That point of view * The core social world Still needs us for more now We only get support being forward when there’s chance to * We live to work Find play and rest first In our hard life We should All receive Good days here and It should be about Care devout So we can work it out And improve as we change It is not out of range It is always something new
