Stress Management

Kinda went of at a tangent i think....

Stress Management

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

Answers 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."

The lecturer continued, "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. 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.

I'll be surprised if at the end of the course they can even get their name right.

Name: *how do i know my name is actually what they say it is* "uh oh times up"

Please tell me you're only joking and pretending to be a narrow minded, uninformed, judgemental... person?

And I'm a philosophy student so think before you answer ¬_¬

i read it again. but idont think thats link with my previous comment, i read it again today and never realised i ever read it, twas like it was all new. i wish it was longer. can we be serious and talk about Ocean's question. how dyou put down the diffrent burdens when you dont need them and pick them up later e.g: put down workburden until you go back into work.

ahh..i'm so glad i read this article again, JazakAllah Bilan.
