How to Handle Stress
Advice by: Catherine
Place: Toronto, Canada
Somebody just narrated a simple story to me today. Thanks to that "somebody". Its definitely something worth reflecting over what the story speaks.
A college class was waiting for their Biology session. The class saw the Professor enter with a glass of water. The Professor raised the glass he held and asked the class what they could see.
Prof: Well, girls & boys, what do you think is the weight of the glass?
(The class broke its silence and they yelled out their frustrations after the long wait for the Professor)
Class:500 gms!... No its a 100 gms! 325 gms!
Prof: (He smiled at them as they calmed down and curiously waited to hear what the Professor wanted to Preach that day ...) Well, honestly, even I don't know unless I weigh it myself. But my question is: What would happen if this glass is held up in my hands for a couple of minutes?
Class: Nothing! (They shouted in unison... but still curious)
Prof: Hmm... What if the couple of minutes became an hour?
Some Student: Your arm would probably start trembling with pain.
Prof: And if the hour became a day?
(The curiosity in the class grew at what the Professor was getting at...)
Some Student: You would go numb!(The class burst into laughter)
Prof: Smart...(he smiled yet again) But the glass still weighs the same! Doesn't it?
Class: Yeah!
Prof: Then why am i gonna be numb? (The class remained puzzled waiting to hear his answer. They mumbled among themselves...)
Prof: All right! What do I do to come out of this pain?
Some Student: Put it down Mr. Professor!
Prof: Bingo!
That's exactly what I was getting at. We have a zillion troubles in life. When they occur, they automatically just shoot right to our brain. You can't do much about that. And that is okay too for those few moments for the mind to handle them.
But, when we ponder over them and keep them there for a long time, we start to feel "stressed". Now, keeping them with you even longer only paralyzes your life completely. You are barely able to concentrate on the worthwhile things in life, things you can do that would keep you joyful. Ignoring your problems or running away is not the solution to those problems really. You need to face it and you need to mend things.
But for you to sort your life out and live joyfully, you need to be in the right state of mind. You need to put those problems down for some time. Enjoy your life. Get a great sleep without thinking about them. It only wakes you up stronger the next day with even greater energy and brighter mind to tackle all the stress.
That was a real beautiful story. It forced me to think how we escalate all stress & trouble all the time by letting it dwell on our minds. At least give it a shot the Glassy Professor Way. There is nothing to lose, right?
A Lesson for Women & Another for both Sexes
Advice by: Natalie
Place: Birmingham, UK
Lesson 1: For women. If you want him
If you give a man everything he wants very easily, you can be almost sure that he'll move on to another woman if he gets his chance. Men want excitement, men want sex, men want love without a commitment and men want all that what is fun. If you women spill all the fun in a jiffy, then he's gone baby gone!
You need to make him wait. You need to get what you want out of him every time you give him something. This may seem cheap because we are talking of "love", not "trade". But try to understand that a man moves to other women because its evolutionary, similarly, a woman needs to practise such tactics with full consciousness to keep her man with her.
Take things slow, have fun. Show the guy that you really can be fun to be with and he must long for your company. Tease him a little by making him wait for the next dose of excitement. Keep this going as long as you can; give & take, give & take, give & take. The guy will be madly yours! Trust me, just take this as a scripture from your Holy Book and practise it:
"Your man will be yours and only yours if you give him what he desires only in parts and not all at once. Keep him excited and each time you do that, you can demand what you desire"
Lesson 2: For both sexes in the age group of 18-25.Quite often you may come across a situation where you are going through a rough patch in your relationship and at the same time you have work/academic/domestic/some other commitments.
These are real difficult times when you have to fulfill your commitments with sincerity and at the same time ignore the rocky moments of your love life. Well, its at these moments that you have to make your decision about whats more important. Is it possible to put your commitment off for a while? Can you afford to lose what you may lose if you don't adhere to your commitment? That's what you gotta answer.
On the other hand, you need to gauge how rocky and unstable your relationship is at that moment. If you feel that its an SOS situation for your relationship, then you need to pay more attention to it. If its not really SOS, let time pass and by then things get cooler and easier to sort out.
Most often, there isn't an SOS situation in our relationships. Its work/academic/other life that needs your attention more. You can usually mend your relationships even if its a little delayed, but when time flies away for your other commitments, its usually irreparable.
So you really need to keep this last paragraph in mind whenever you encounter trouble in this form. You need to separate your love life from your other commitments. You really have to do it. You need to give your other commitments more importance and ensure that you see them through right till the end. If you are settled with work, there is a calmer mind that can sort out stupid love life issues more easily.
Trust me, just take this as a scripture from your Holy Book and practise it:
"Its really not worth blowing up your work/academics/other life commitments because they don't come back. Love can wait for a while and still be yours again."
