Stress Management

Stress Management

The following was sent to me and I saw some areas that fit in us in the Lord.

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a
glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?"

The answers that were called out ranged 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'll
have to call an ambulance. "In each case, it's the same weight, but the
longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

"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." "Relax; pick them up
later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

§ Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the
statue.

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

§ Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

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

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

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

§ Never buy a car you can't push.

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

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

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

§ You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person.

§ Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

§ 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 live in the same box.

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