Five Minute Friday Free Write: Collect


Today I am linking up with Five Minute Friday to do something I haven't done in an extremely long time: Free Write for 5 Minute Friday. 

I have always loved 5 Minute Friday. It gets those writing juices flowing--no editing or worrying about writing the perfect piece. Just raw writing--flowing non-stop--for five minutes. Just set your timer for 5 minutes and see how far you get once the alarm goes off. Seeing where your mind takes you and enjoying others' posts linked to the blog. 

Today for 5 Minute Friday, the topic of the Free Write is COLLECT. Feel free to do your own 5 minute free-write or check out the other community members' free writes! Click below to read them:

GO.

Lately I've been collecting dreams.

Dreams that I've never dared to dream before. 

Dreams that will allow me to

---live without fear.

---live without debt.

---live comfortably with chronic migraines.

---live without choosing only one natural healing appointment each month.

---build myself up.

---become stronger.

---become more confident.

---believe that I can do anything.

---push through anxiety.

---love my tribe hard.

---travel to places that I have only dreamed of.

---support and give-back to my family.

---inspire health and wellness.

---help others.

---change the world.

These dreams

---inspire me.

---move me.

---push me.

---build me up.

---are mine to hold.

These dreams will one day be my reality. 

STOP.

Five Minute Friday: Mighty Anxiety

Tonight I'm linking up with Lisa Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday. Every Friday, people from all walks of life from all over sit down and write for 5 minutes about a given topic. Then we share our writing on her blog.

The goal of our writing is to sit down and write without big revisions or editing. We just write. It's fun! Try it; see what happens!


This week's topic: Mighty


Go:

Mighty Anxiety

You, my friend, are mighty.

There are times when you

have taken over

my sight,

my heart, 

my mind.

You have taken away

my vision,

my hope, 

my voice.

With a strength and power

I had never known

how to overcome,

I struggled to

stay afloat.

I gave you my tears,

my thoughts,

my go-with-the-flow,

my too tired to fight.

You, my dear anxiety,

you put up a good fight.

I know you're used to surrender,

but I haven't given up yet.

Sorry to disappoint you, but 

I'm tired of your bullshit.

I am the mighty one,

putting up with your games

day after day after day.

I'm tired of fighting.

Some days, I'd rather not,

but every day I prepare for war.

This girl ain't going down easy.

She never has, and she never will.

Stop.



Let me know if you give it a go!!


Love and happiness <3 Holly
