Stress Management

A forward, but quite right :D

Stress Management

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked,

'How heavy is this glass of water?'

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter.

It depends on how long you try to hold it.

'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

'In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it,
the heavier it becomes. '

He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management.

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. '

'As with the glass of water, you have to put
it down for a while and rest before holding
it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry
on with the burden. '

'So, before you return home tonight, put
the burden of work down.
Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you're carrying now,
let them down for a moment if you can. '

'Relax; pick them up later after you've rested!
Life is short. Enjoy it!


And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
and some days you're the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet,
just in case you have to eat them.

*Drive carefully. It's not only cars that
can be recalled by their Maker.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.

* To the world you might be one person,
but to one person you just might be the world.

Have an awesome day and know that
someone has thought about you today. . . . .
