Stress Management

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 enquired: "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."

Remember to put the glass down.

7 Cardinal Rules For Life

1.Make peace with your past, so it doesn’t spoil your present. Your past does not define your future – your actions and beliefs do.

2.What others think of you is none of your business. It’s how much you value yourself and how important you think you are.

3.Time heals almost everything, give time, time. Pain will be less hurting. Scars make us who we are; they explain our life and why we are the way we are. They challenge us and force us to be stronger.

4.No one is the reason for your own happiness, except you yourself. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.

5.Don’t compare your life with others’, you have no idea what their journey is all about. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we would grab ours back as fast as we could.

6.Stop thinking too much, it’s alright not to know all the answers. Sometime there is no answer, not going to be any answer, never has been an answer. That’s the answer! Just accept it, move on, NEXT!

7.Smile, you don’t own all the problems in the world. A smile can brighten the darkest day and make life more beautiful. It is a potential curve to turn a life around and set everything straight.

Life Humbles You
