Put your glass down!!
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.
He raised a glass of water & 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
&
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!!
