A Great Lesson On Stress

A Great Lesson on Stress


A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and
explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water.
Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half
full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she
inquired with a smile.
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, 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." She continued, "and that's the
way it is with stress. 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 - holding stress longer and better each time practiced. So, as early in
the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the
evening and into the night... Pick them up tomorrow.

1 * Accept the fact
that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

2 *
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.


3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
middle of it.

4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be
recalled by their Maker.

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the
decency to be vague.

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that
person again, it was probably worth it.

7 * It may be that your sole
purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8 * Never buy
a car you can't push.

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same
time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

10 * Nobody cares
if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

11 * Since it's the
early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12 * The second
mouse gets the cheese.

13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in
the wrong lane.

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the
longer you live.

16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.


17 * 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.

18 * A truly happy person is one who
can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

19 * Have an awesome day and know
that someone has thought about you today.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY


20 *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!*
