Let go of stress

  

Today  I  am going to guide you through how to let go of stress.

Stress , a very common word to hear now a days

Seems difficult? As to how to let of stress?

No it is not. It is a just a matter of choice.

Have you heard the story of a psychologist who was teaching stress management?

Let me tell you, even if you have already heard it or read it before.

A   psychologist once walked around the 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?

Different answers came up of various range.

She replied,’the weight of the glass 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 is definitely going to feel numb and paralyzed. In each case the weight of the glass does not change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.’

Now how does this relate to stress?

Stress and worries in life are like the glass of water. Think about them for a while & nothing happens to me. Think about them for a bit longer and it being to hurt.

And if you think about then all day long, you will surely feel paralyzed- incapable of doing anything.

So now the important question … how to let go of stress?

As i said earlier, it is all about choice.

We all have been given the power to choose. It is all upto you as an individual.

Choose to SNAP out of stress instantly.

The anger, the frustration and nervousness that causes stress can never bring out any solution. On the contrary it causes more damage.

It breaks you down and harms your loved ones.

Please avoid overthinking. It is fruitless.

Tell yourself that lingering to stress for more time will bring only negativity and no outcome.

You will come across people & situations that will give you stress. Take it as a part of life.

Don’t make it your life.

Put all your burdens down. Don’t carry it through the evening and into the night.

Tell yourself ‘I choose not to take stress’.

Learn to put down the glass before it paralyses you. and breaks you

You can do it. This is the power of SELF TALK.

It works.

Remember the choice is yours, ALWAYS.

LIVE A STRESS FREE LIFE. 

God Bless.
