Never thought of things this way before. Made me stop and think before I kept on carring the stress from day to day.
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.'
>> So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right
>> now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.
>>
>> Here are some great 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.
>>
>> * Always read stuff that will make you look good
>> if you die in the middle of it.
>>
>> * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
>>
>> *If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
>> it was probably worth it.
>>
>> * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to
>> others.
>>
>> * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
>> because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
>>
>> * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
>>
>> * The second mouse gets the cheese.
>>
>> * When everything's coming your way,
>> you're in the wrong lane.
>>
>> * Birthdays are good for you.
>> The more you have, the longer you live.
>>
>> * You may be only one person in the world,
>> but you may also be the world to one person.
>>
>> * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
>>
>> * We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are
>> pretty and
>> some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors,
>> but they all have to live in the same box.
>>
>> *A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
>>
>> Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you
>> today...
>>
>> I did!!!
