We all seem to have it lately . . .


We all seem to have it lately . . .

I guess it is that time of year when everyone has so many things going on in their lives that things build up for everyone.  Maybe it is that Late Winter/Early Spring time of year that we are all starting to go crazy waiting for the snow to melt and get breakup over with here in the far north.

I saw this story on Peter Kovacs wall and wanted to pass it on as it shows us that many times we look at something from the obvious perspective but it we change our focus or gaze just a little bit it opens up a whole other thought process which can give us new insight or attitudes about things going on in our lives.

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 from the class 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.”

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!

Open your mind to the endless possibilities . . . Find that place where you can alleviate stresses in your life and live fully letting the abundance that your life offers you flow all around you.  Realize what you have and be ever mindful of those who may need your positive influences in their lives.

We are all in this world together so drink it all up everyday and do not waste our time here!
