Self Leadership by Intent; My Emotional Growth Status Report

This my original version of the poem. June 29th 2024

I can’t think of anything to say right now.

My intention, when I do think of something to say, is to speak as my authentic adult self.

When I do speak, I hope to effectively communicate my true thoughts and values and feelings and emotions and intuitions and observations to anyone, or to no one.

I am human. I exist in the same body system as you and everyone else.

Like you, I have strengths and weaknesses.

When I am under stress my decision-making is reduced by my emotions.

When I am under stress I have made bad decisions.

I am working to grow my emotional self management. I am still learning.

I am learning both internal and external meanings of stress.

When I feel stressed I intend to communicate this as an adult to anyone or to no one.

I intend to adapt my decision making to my stress in an agile manner.

My intention is to continue to learn and grow as a human being.

When I may observe you or others deciding under stress, I will speak in terms of your feelings.

I will ask, “How are you feeling?”

I will suggest, “How do you feel about this decision?”

I will carefully listen to your answers.

My intention will be to support your decision as my authentic adult self.

Self Leadership by Intent; My Emotional Growth Status Report

In this moment, silence surrounds me.

Yet when words find their way,

I will speak as my true, integrated adult self.

I will share my thoughts, values, feelings, emotions, intuitions, and observations

With anyone who listens, or with the quiet air alone.

I am human. In the same body system as you, as everyone else.

I hold strengths that lift me and weaknesses that weigh me down.

Under stress, my emotions cloud my judgment,

And I have stumbled, making decisions I regret.

I am on a journey to master my emotions,

Learning to navigate both the internal storms and external pressures.

When stress tightens its grip, I aim to voice it,

Speaking with the clarity of an adult, whether to someone or to the empty room.

When I observe you or others deciding under stress,

I will speak in terms of your feelings.

I will ask, “How are you feeling?”

I will suggest, “How do you feel about this decision?”

I will carefully listen to your answers.

My intention will be to support your decision as my authentic adult self.

I adapt my choices to the rhythm of my stress,

Moving with agility and grace,

Intent on continuous growth, learning with each step.

My intention is a beacon guiding me to evolve, to be more human.

In the echoes of past mistakes,

I find lessons, pieces of wisdom to carry forward.

With each sunrise, I renew my promise to grow,

To understand, to be kinder to myself, and to others,

On this shared journey of being human.
