How to manage stress....
A Psychologist walked
around a room while
teaching Stress Management to an
audience.
As she raised a
glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked
the
"Half empty or Half full" question.
Instead, with a
smile on her face, she
inquired:
"How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied,
"The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long I hold it.
If I hold it for a
minute,
it's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour,
I'll have an ache in my arm.
If I hold it for a day,
my arm will feel numb and paralyzed.
In each case,
the weight of the glass
doesn't change,
But
The longer I hold it,
the heavier it becomes.
She continued,
"The Stresses and Worries in Life , are like that Glass of Water...
Think about them for
a while and nothing
happens.
Think about them
a bit longer and they begin to hurt.
And
If you think
about them all day long,
you will feel paralysed –
incapable of doing
anything."
Remember to put the glass down.
