山石Stress management: how heavy is a glass of water?
) v# {: |' u4 F iWhile explaining stress management to an audience, the lecturer raised a glass of water and asked 『How heavy is this glass of water?』 Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.9 `5 v8 h `- j- ?; b8 K' K
The lecturer replied, 「The absolute(adj.絕對的) weight doesn』t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that』s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I』ll have an ache(n.疼痛) in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you』ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it』s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.」# V, ~3 N0 A$ g" I2 d, O& _/ I8 D
He continued, 「And that』s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won』t be able to carry on.」, t+ Y0 ]# |) w% E( ]) O; s
「As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we』re refreshed(v.精神振作), we can carry on with the burden.」3 X+ g$ T( G. R# C; f5 q
「So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don』t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you』re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.」7 }2 N8 g! Z- R7 e' _
當演說者向聽眾解釋壓力管理時,他舉起一杯水問:「這杯水有多重?「 得到的回答從20克到500克不等。
% X- x7 ^% P) D$ d( \4 X0 S演說者的答案卻是:「實際的重量並不重要,重要的是你想舉著這杯水多久。如果一分鐘,沒問題,但是如果要一個小時,那麼我的右手臂肯定要酸掉。而如果要一天,那你們得幫我叫輛救護車了。水是同樣的重量,我舉著它的時間越長,它就越重。」! S$ L2 T1 y6 @0 w
他繼續說道:「壓力管理也是同樣的道理。如果我們一直背負著我們的負擔,那麼隨著這些負擔越來越重,我們遲早要崩潰。」
* ~1 c8 T: a: @1 a, }$ |4 M 「對於那杯水,應對方法是把它放下休息一會再拿起來。當我們恢復精力,我們就能繼續負重前行。」& i5 F5 V0 D! C3 A/ T# F; m
「應此,當你今天晚上回到家後,將身上的工作擔子放下別帶回家,所有的事情明天再說。無論你現在承受著怎樣的負擔,先盡可能的忘記它們一會兒。」 |
