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.
* 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 that person
again, it was probably worth it.
*
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to
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.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance
well. Just get up
and dance.
* 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.
* 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
some one has
thought about you today... I did
