The glass of water.

i saw this text on twitter and could instantly relate to it,

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 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.' 

Remember to put the glass down.

recently, all i wanna do is to laze and mope around.
i do absolutely nothing for the whole day and feel exhausted somehow.
yes, i have been thinking a lot, and i din even realize the stress i am giving myself through all these worries about life.
i kept telling myself to not think too much into the future so far ahead, but yet i can't help myself.
now, i suppose i should put that glass now.
i should let go of these worries and stresses.
i should not let them dictate my life.
i can do better than that, i am better than that.
leap of faith is what i need to do now.
all i can do now is to trust in myself and the decisions i make.
i will will myself to be so much happier.
