Stress 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 ranted 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 will have to

call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the

longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes/ " He continue, " 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, why not take a while to just simply Relax.

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.
