Stress is a killer, a big one at that and we all know to avoid getting stressed as much as possible (although, I know some people who seem to thrive on stress). The simplest thing to do about stress would be to remove all stressors from your life, but we all know that is never possible, so here is some free stress manangement advice for you. So easy to do.
A Psychologist walked around a room while teaching Stress Management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "Half empty or Half full" question.
Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?" 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, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.
She continued, "The Stresses and Worries in Life , are like that Glass of Water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And If you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
Very easy right? just get all the things that cause you stress out of your head as quickly as possible, don't get weighed down!
