A Great Lesson on Stress

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass ofwater. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'halfempty or half full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is thisglass 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 howlong I hold it.If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for anhour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call anAmbulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I holdit, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it iswith stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, asthe 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 andrest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry onwith the burden - holding stress longer and better each timepracticed.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...
