Original Blog Entry: Professor On Negative Thoughts: Classroom Demo Example

Thanks kelli

This reminds me of a story I recently heard about a classroom

A professor held up a glass of water and asked the class How heavy is this glass of water?

Bewildered, the students looked at each other and started to randomly guess 8 ounces? 12? Maybe 16?

The professor shook his head.

The absolute weight of the glass doesn t matter. It depends on how long I hold onto it.

If I hold it for a minute, nothing happens.

If I hold it for an hour, my arm will begin to ache.

If I hold it all day long, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed.

While the weight of the glass hasn t changed, the longer I hold onto it the heavier it becomes.

Negative thoughts are just like the glass of water. If you dwell on them for too long, you will feel discouraged and even paralyzed.

To move forward in life, we need to put that glass of negative thoughts down.

We need to release the weight
