Why all the hustle-bustle

don’t kill the peace inside

It’s unnecessary to

work, work and work

Just relax in whatever

Don’t keep doing things

Sometimes, you shouldn’t

do anything but

just breathe!

Start living

both physically

and emotionally

It’s time to turn

a new leaf

and keep it properly

Don’t do this to you

Make life match

your needs

Start being

Relax, unwind and decompress
