Water Poetry, Closure, and Summer Self-Reflection

Summer self-reflection is necessary especially if you need closure from past experiences, past friendships, and past relationships. As well as helping you to relax and to manage emotions for emotional healing. Drafting poetry about water or other themes can assist you in improving your communication and practice self-expression. However, if you constantly get hurt easily, worry, or have a tough time in coping with closure; Do consult with a therapist for further support for your overall wellness. In addition, using poetry, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, or other techniques for relaxation can be practiced together for grief and closure. 

Finding closure can be difficult at times especially if there was no explanation about ending the friendship or relationship. Do acknowledge it was not your fault. However, to find closure, it is essential to accept it and not make assumptions. Avoid expectations, apologies or explanations from a past relationship or friendship. Do mute, unfollow, or block them if necessary for your social and emotional wellness. 

Have a list of boundaries that remind you to follow it when socializing. Another tip is to manage your emotions without denying your genuine feelings. Also, practice self-acceptance and self-understanding. Daily self-reflections through journaling and poetry can help you reduce stress and help you with the process of closure. Do your daily activities and routines without ignoring your repressed feelings. 

Poetry about water can be relaxing and help you to concentrate on your emotions. Look at pictures of water and write anything that comes to mind. Draft a poem about water and read it aloud. Read poetry with water themes to help you draft your poems. Lastly, identify your emotions and write everything before drafting your poems.

Next, listen carefully to your thoughts. Identify if your thoughts are being motivated by emotions or by spontaneous random thoughts. Wash your hands and feel the water sensation on your hands. As you relax, practice one nostril breathing or counting meditation as you concentrate on your breathing. Write your mindful experiences of water into a narrative poem, a Haiku, or another poetry form. 

Journaling with poetry can be inspirational, informative, and can help you with self-reflection. It can be helpful to practice mindfulness with water by using your senses before writing your poetry about water.
