OT: stress advice ......

[Guest guest]

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. "

He 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. 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. "

" So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of

work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up

tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let

them down for a moment if you can. " " Relax; pick them

up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the

burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some

days you're the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in

case you have to eat them.

* Always read stuff that will make you look good if

you die in the middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be

recalled by their maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency

to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person

again, it was probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is

simply to serve as a warning to others.

* Never buy a car you can't push.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same

time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up

and dance.

* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the

bird, sleep late.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way, you're in the

wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have,

the longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world, but you

may also be the world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

* 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 colors, but they

all have to live in the same box.

* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the

scenery on a detour.

Have an awesome day and know that someone has

thought about you today..........I did.
