Breathing For Stress And Anxiety Relief

I refuse to absorb what is not mine.

I stay aware,

But I do not get pulled.

Other people's ego is not my business.

My peace is my business.

I choose when I speak and when I keep my crown closed.

Silence is not weakness.

It's control.

I don't chase validation.

I don't correct fools.

I don't explain myself to the noise.

If a room is hostile,

I rise above it,

Not into it.

I answer what is required,

Nothing extra.

I choose my tone,

My posture,

My energy on purpose.

I protect my nervous system like it's a currency.

I breathe before I react.

I take breaks like a queen,

Not like someone escaping,

But like someone who is preserving her throne.

I do not try to fix people who are still choosing chaos.

I do not shrink to comfort someone else's insecurities.

I hold my standard quietly,

Consistently,

Without apology.

What I don't feed dies.

What I don't react to loses power.

What I don't carry cannot drain me.

I am allowed to be soft and still be untouchable.

I am allowed to be kind without feeling or being a rag doll.

I'm allowed to exist without being consumed by this place.

I walk in and out of this building with my spirit intact,

My mind sharp,

My energy clean,

And my peace is unbothered.

I don't match the room,

I set my own climate.

Everyone else adjusts.
