Stress...

I was scrolling on facebook and found this interesting post...

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 longest 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.

It's important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

That really...how our stresses...our problems in life, are only as big as we make them. The longer we hold onto the glass of water, the heavier it becomes. The longer we hold onto our stresses,  problems and grudges, the more it consumes us and really just takes over our body. It's important to just relax sometimes,or face your problems and conquer them...no point of stressing over things you can't change.
