A poem about stress titled "Taming the Beast":

In the hustle and bustle of our daily grind,

Stress tiptoes in, uninvited, unwinding the mind.

A weight upon our shoulders, heavy and severe,

It lurks in shadows, whispering words of fear.

In the chaos it creates, our productivity wanes,

Clouding our thoughts, disrupting our reins.

A fog of worries, a storm of dismay,

Stress taints our colours, turns skies to grey.

But fear not, dear soul, for there's a way,

To tame the beast, to make stress sway.

Embrace these tools to soothe the heart,

And from the clutches of stress, you'll depart.

First, breathe deeply, feel the rhythm of breath,

In mindfulness, find calm, release the stress from death.

Yoga and meditation, they'll anchor your soul,

In serenity, you'll find, your worries will unroll.

Next, connect with nature, let its peace be your guide,

In forests, on beaches, let stress subside.

Find joy in hobbies, creative pursuits anew,

For they'll lighten your heart, paint skies in blue.

Lean on loved ones, share burdens and strife,

A support network strong, a balm for life.

With shoulders to cry on, and ears to lend,

Stress will lose power, its forces to fend.

Engage in laughter, let humour be your friend,

For in joyous moments, stress comes to an end.

A chuckle, a grin, laughter's healing embrace,

With stress out of sight, you'll find inner space.

Remember, dear soul, you hold the key,

To manage stress, to set your heart free.

With patience and kindness, face stress with a smile,

For in its defeat, you'll find strength all the while.
