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.”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! I think this just changed my life.

NBA Basketball

It’s the best time for any true basketball fan.  REAL basketball is being played before our very eyes as the Memphis Grizzlies look to win their first title will be hosted by the un-aged San Antonio Spurs, while on the eastern side the Defending Champions Miami Heat plan to capture another title as they strive to blow past the Indiana Pacers, a once storied team looking to win their first title in the NBA.  My allegiance lies with Los Angeles and with that said i DONT want the Miami Heat to repeat, even though i am a fan of how they play great basketball.  I personally want whoever wins the west to win it all, however i feel that the Spurs have a greater chance of beating the Heat in the next round than the Grizzlies do.  However!  I feel that the grizzlies may come out of the Western Conference to face the Heat.  I do feel as if the Heat are going to win, but I am rooting for the Pacers to upset the Champs big time.
