Stresss 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.
> 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
>
> * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle
> of it.
>
> * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
>
> * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
>
> * If you lend someone $20 and never see them again, it was probably worth
> it.
>
> * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning
> to others.
>
> * Never buy a car you can't push.
>
> * 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.
