Stress
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water ?
'Answers ranged from 8oz. to 20oz. 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 aproblem..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 carryour 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/life 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! Close
