Bilateral Stimulation
By Steven Bates 15 November 2023
When filled with angst or trepidation
Here’s a thing for contemplation
Not too fraught with complication
Try bilateral stimulation
When looking for things to help you free
Your mind from stress, anxiety
It’s really simple as can be
Easy as a one, two, three
Just tap your fingers to your chest
Make like drums, give it your best
When fingers tire, give them a rest
And move your feet to your behest
Rotate your ankles to and fro
In opposite directions, make them go
That’s really all there is to know
Just move your body, head to toe
You’ll find your mind will be distracted
By all this movement you’ve enacted
Your angst and worry will be impacted
Your troubles will even be redacted
Just try this simple trick at home
No need to travel, no need to roam
Find what’s best when you’re alone
And angst will end just like this poem!
