Assalamualaikum wbr,
For this week sharing – stress management
Thanks and Regards
"Before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home".
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..
Ways to deal with the stressors of life
1. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4.. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
5. If you lend someone $20 and never see him again, it was probably worth it.
6. Never buy a car you can't push.
7. If you put both feet in your mouth at once, you won't have a leg to stand on.
8. Who cares if you can't dance? Just get up and dance.
9. If everything's coming your way, you may be in the wrong lane.
10. You're just one person in the world, but you may be the world to one person.
11. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
12. Kids 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 live in the same box
