How to Deal with STRESS
Stress and Tension in Life...
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”
The students’ answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.
It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.
It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.
What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden periodically so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. Pick it up again later when you have rested.
Another Valuable advice by Professor on life .....
One of his message to us was similar to the above example..........Worth reading-
A group of friends visited their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaints about 'STRESS' & 'TENSION' in Life.
Professor offered them Coffee & returned from the kitchen with Coffee in different kinds of cups! (Glass Cups, Crystal Cups, Shining Ones, Some Plain Looking, Some Ordinary & Some Expensive Ones......)When all of them had a Cup in Hand, the professor said: "If you noticed all the Nice Looking & Expensive Cups are taken up, leaving behind the ordinary ones! Every one of you wanted the Best CUPS, & that is the source of your STRESS & TENSION!
What you really wanted was "Coffee", not the "Cup"!
But you still went for the Best Cup.
If Life is Coffee ;
Then Jobs, Money, Status & Love etc. are the Cups!
They are just TOOLS to hold and contain Life.
Please Don't Let the CUPS Drive you
Enjoy the COFFEE ......!!!
What is life?
They say its from B to D...from Birthday to Death...But what's between B and D?
It's a " C " Choice ...
Our life is a matter of choices...
Life is short, try to enjoy it.
