Stress Management

Once a professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see; asked the students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?”

'100gms!' said the students

What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?
'Nothing' the students said

OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.

You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'

Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis; may have to go to hospital for sure!

Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? Asked the professor.

‘No’ replied the students

Then what caused the arm ache; the muscle stress?'
Instead What should I do? - The Professor asked

The students were puzzled. “Put the glass down!” said one of the students.

‘Exactly!' , said the professor.

Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time; they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer; they begin to paralyze you.
You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the problems you face in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That is the only way, you would not be stressed,
That way, you wake up every day fresh and strong and can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

Remember friend to
PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!
That's the way to avoid stress in your life!
