Regret, Anxiety and Healing. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Regret, Anxiety and Healing.

Rating: 5.0

I should have done
this or that is a thing
of the past.
What will I do if my
job goes or I fail
creates embarrassment.

Nothing can be done if
our minds dwell in
the past and future.
Living in the present relives
us from past regrets and
future anxiety,
the best cure.

Serotonin(the feel good
hormone) , cortisol(the stress
hormone) decreases and
increases respectively with
increasing stress.
Body becomes unwell,
the natural course of life
is adversely affected,
causes pain and
emotional distress.

A snake molts old
skin several times
in its life span.
Similarly casting aside
the past unhappy events
may fail to detail
our life's train.
