Stress; Don’t Give Up On Your Life For It

Got an email from someone in Brazil yesterday talking about stress. In the middle there was a question. How much does a glass of water weigh? Half a pound? A pound? It depends on the amount of water and the weight of the glass. But that is not the point.
Let’s say a half a pound water glass doesn’t weigh much if you hold the glass up for 10 secs. It also doesn’t weigh much if you hold it up for a minute. But what if you held the same glass for an hour? Your arm would probably be sore. Now what about for a whole day? You would probably end up in a hospital with major circulation issues.
So is stress. If you can rest and recharge there are no major consequences to your well- being. But if you just keep on going without replenishing yourself with emotional and psychological nourishment, you will most likely crash.
