Chicken Soup for the Soul

Chicken Soup for the Soul

A Poem by Saffy
"

A recipie for emotional wellbeing

"
First of all, remember to check your base ingredients,
Without these, you will go hungry.
Take equal portions of sincerity, curiosity and compassion.
Mix well over heat allowing the ingredients to blend.
Please don't rush this step, a simple broth can sustain you, but without it you will have no soup.
Next, add at least one close companion,
Take time to choose this ingredient wisely,
Companionship will need to be cultivated, and well nourished.
Without this things may begin to sour.
Heat three tablespoons of creativity, recreation and interesting activity to pass the time.
Now take some time to wait.
An ounce of idleness encourages imagination and innovation,
Let your soup simmer, but don't watch too closely,
Be mindful, appreciate the ingredients you include.
Notice your thoughts, discard those that are no longer useful, add those that are nourishing to your soup.
Don't forget to taste your soup before seasoning,
Choose your seasoning wisely, a little spice can be invigorating but too much will spoil the broth,
Now take some time to taste your soup,
Distance yourself from distractions and be mindful,
Notice the mixture of flavours, and the texture that your ingredients bring.
Love your soup but don't be afraid to change the recipe from time to time.
