Got this in my e-mail today . . .just some stuff to think about, meditate on. . . .


Hope y'all have a good weekend . . .


Stress Management - Put the Glass Down



A professor was giving a lecture to his students 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.



Rest and relax. Life is short, enjoy it!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WORDS TO LIVE BY


~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.


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


~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 put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don't have a leg to stand on.


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


~The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.

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


~Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you're living.



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


~Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.


~We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.


~A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on an unexpected detour.


And finally....
~Have an awesome day, and know that someone has thought about you today....

And he sees you again, it probably wasn't worth it, either.

I've been noticing some positive posts this week, and your "put the glass down" analogy is one of them. Way to go, Sheia...We all need a little reminder to just cool it once in a while. Thanks.
