A young lady confidently walked around the room while 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 things that will make you feel good.
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 anything you cannot afford
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 move your feet
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 colours, 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:
STAY STRONG, HEALTHY, SAFE AND PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCE. KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES
IN CLOSE CONTACT. STAY IN TOUCH WITH FRIENDS, NEIGHBOURS AND KEEP THE FAITH
THAT WE WILL SURVIVE THIS. WE CAN ALL BOND TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
WORLD.
