Part of Slice of Life by Two Writing Teachers
My desktop sticky notes urge me to write
even though I’m a little
too edgy to write
Pen on the page.
Reflect
What you focus on grows
I went to a mindfulness zoom a week or two ago
(Mindfulness. Zoom. Seems ironic, but maybe for 2020 it’s just iconic)
I guess a half-hour session wasn’t sufficient
to make me mindful enough
Good mindfulness reminders though.
He told us,
“You are being held.”
“Anxiety is anticipatory fear.”
“You have thousands of thoughts a day… and that’s no problem.”
So I wrote myself more sticky notes for my desktop
Pen on the page.
Reflect
What you focus on grows
You are being held
Anxiety is anticipatory fear
No problem
There’s another sticky too
I wrote it down when my
acupuncturist told me to get out of my head
She said,
“You are not more powerful than God.”

Reflect
What you focus on grows
You are being held
Anxiety is anticipatory fear
No problem
You are not more powerful than God
On a Thought 
Love the yellow sticky note wisdom you shared with us. Glad you wrote in spite of current challenges.
I love how your sticky note poem built throughout the piece and you shared how each of the additions came to be added to your desk. This line made me laugh: “I guess a half-hour session wasn’t sufficient to make me mindful enough”. And I enjoyed the thoughtfulness in the rest of the post, too. 🙂
