About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

On Energy Drains
Prompt:
What drains your energy in your life? And in what ways can you stay grounded in stressful situations?
------
In my life, right now, things getting broken or not working properly drain my energy. I'm not a handyman, so it is quite disturbing to not know where the trouble is. I mean if it is a small appliance or something it is easily replaceable. When it has to do with the plumbing, AC or things like that, I'm at a loss. Then, of course, managing money is also on the table, which I have gotten quite good at, but it still is a source of stress.
Normally, I try to fix most anything if I can, or I try tp find someone to do it for me. If the culprit is not fixable, I try to steer my mind away from such situations.
I guess not taking care of one's physical and emotional needs may have an effect on the energy drain, mostly. I believe, I manage better in such areas than I do with plumbing. Then, with most folks overcommitting with activities or responsibilities can add to their energy-drain, same as unresolved issues and past hurts knocking on memory's door. Negative relationships and family issues can drain a person's energy, too.
Luckily, at the moment, my stress is only the result of the AC's thermostat, which I am sure, will be taken care of soon by the handyman who is going to arrive sometime during the week. I just hope the weather complies.
