One of my friends, Sue, is retiring...we celebrated her and RG retiring at our coach meeting a few weeks back. I wrote her a poem about something inspirational she taught us when we first learned about brain based instruction. She taught us that looking down allows access to your emotions. If you ever need to stop those emotions from coming out, stop looking downward, and look up to the sky instead. Draw something like the outline of a guitar with your eyes to keep your emotions in check.
So, I wrote her this poem as a sort of reminder of something special from her...dedicated to her:
Draw Your Guitar in the Sky
By Amy Rudd
When you’re feeling sad,
Looking down deep is bad…
Accessing your emotions is not a good notion!
Hold your head high,
Look to the sky,
Use your eyes to escape,
And outline the shape,
Brighten your day,
Give your sadness away!
PS It really does work...
