Weight of Water

Water

It’s not about empty or full.. it’s letting go. It does more damage to hold on to something, anything for more than a moment.

How heavy is your glass

I learned that in life holding onto something that stresses you will cause it to become heavy and hurt you more than it should.

Bread

Life is much like bread. It will eventually go stale and start to rot, and it is your duty to throw that bread in the bin when the time comes. Not continue to eat it just cuz it’s there.

“The Weight of Water”

learn to let the stress, negativity, and anxiousness go at the end of the day.

Heavy glass

I learned that you let things bring you down you have to let them go before they become to heavy

Weight of Stress

When you let go of your ties that are holding you down from enjoying life, you realize you have so much to be grateful for. And you shouldn’t let your stress or worries take that away.

WEIGHT OF WATER

I learned that even though my anxieties may only seem light at the moment as they continue to grow and spread they are getting heavier and heavier

Stress

I heard a new way to tangibly illustrate the effects of stress on us. This perspective gave me another way to understand and relate to just how heavy holding on to our burdens can become. Forgive, let go and renew. All part of remembering who you really are and what you are here to do. Every moment of every day is a chance to choose differently.

Weight of water

This story is a great illustration of how stressful thoughts can weigh us down-I know for me I have done exactly what she was saying-carrying the stressful thoughts with me on & on-& it does weigh me down. Put down the stressful thoughts like you put down a glass of water. I am definitely saving this story as a reminder for myself to let go of thoughts that are not helpful.

Weight of Water

I learned that if you hold a grudge for too long, it will soon stress you out. You should never hold on to grudges for they can destroy you.

Water story

Why should I keep thinking about the bad situations and keep stressing over the little things when I can just “drop it” and let it all go and enjoy that moment.

Mind set

I learned that life is like holding a glass of water. It may be easy or light, but over time it gets heavier or harder to hold on to. You have to learn to deal or to manage the weight of your problems and deal with them.

Stress

I learned to push away my stress as early in the day as I can and as much as I can throughout my day, to have an overall better and happier day.

That was very amazing

I learned that if you have a bad day don’t let it distrubt the other days What happened yesterday happened, don’t carry it dor the next day You have to be optimistic, especially about up coming days

Reflection

I learned that it is important to let go of things that trouble me. It’s not the weight of what happens to burdens my thoughts but rather the weight from carrying around the thing/things that troubled me.

Weight of Water

I learned that life is like a glass of water. That holding on to stress, sadness, pain, problems, etc for a short time isn’t that bad. Now if you hold it for a long time you get tired and wore out and even feel numb. You need to “drop” your weight and move on. It’s not worth the pain.

Subjective

Yes, the weight and pressure of my burdens may be but a trifling to another, but I’ve been carrying them for a VERY long time. They weigh a TON!

This actually made me feel great. Drop that glass of stress you’ve been holding onto

I feel good. I need to drop this glass of stress I’m holding

Burdens

May your burdens be easily discarded, your joys ever lasting and your purpose be true. Live your days with the knowledge that we are not born with troubles but we accumulate them. Do not let them weigh you down, learn from their lessons they offer and freely release them as they are no longer needed for your growth.

Letting it go..

I feel so much better and learned that holding on to your issues does nothing but cause you more pain. So instead of holding onto problems either solve them or if there’s no solution let it go. This story actually helped a lot with my anxiety right now because it made my mind realize that everything going in all of my small issues I feel matter don’t. In ten years from now I won’t even remember them because it wasn’t an issue I needed to care about so remember just let it go!

New point of view

I never thought about my problems that make me anxious for long like I do now. This story made me think differently of how I should handle my hard times.

Reminder to take it easy

An advice for everyone that constant stress could do much harm. Take it easy and leave everything unnecessary!

Stress

I learned that it doesn’t matter what makes you stressed it’s how you deal with it because if you don’t deal with them soon it they will all take a toll on your body and mind.

Weight of water

Let go of your stress and your worry. Your quality of life depends on it. The stress will increase over time if you let it. Instead put it down, get on your mat and just breathe it away while meditating. Instead focus on yourself. You are worth the effort. There is only one of you on this earth. Do not squander your life away by letting the stress rule you!

Stress

Great analogy, made me think twice about how I handle things.

Calm. Relaxed

The glass of water was a great analogy for stress management. I can look at stress in a different light

Glass story

This story made me realize that stressed and worries shouldnt be carried on for days. I need to let it go and shouldnt let things burden me for days or even hours.

Understood

I learned that holding a grudge can affect my whole day if I don’t forgive.

Day one

I started crying a little bit when it started talking about letting go of your worries. That’s all I want to do. I tired to let go and it was extremely difficult but I think I let some go. I still have a constant fear that my anxiety will come back and never leave but I’m trying to think of something else

I liked that story because the speaker had a nice, calming tone of voice and the story was happy.

It had a good message to it and I think it was saying to me that I need to let go of my stress because soon it will take over me and I do believe that can happen so this was a nice, calming reminder. :)

4/4/18

I felt calm with the speakers voice and felt sleepy. I learned a great metaphor when it comes to stress too. I learned that I need to let go and not hold onto situations

Simple

With this simple story and example my brain started to think of all the things I hold on to. They are not heavy but I make them so. If I just let go, also the weight lifts off.

Stress Management

I realized that although I may make mistakes and poor decisions, dwelling and self loathing isn’t going to serve me in anyway. Rather to let go of the past and move forward. Always moving forward and learning from your experiences whether they’re bad or good.

I do that.

I hold on to things until they push me over the edge. Makes me cramp up and my chest hurt. I didn’t know I needed to hear that.

Calm

I actually am calm enough to fall asleep. I had doubts but this actually worked.

Knowledge

I learned that if you hold onto your thoughts it will create a weight, just like when you are holding your arms up for a while. If you pay attention and feed into your demons then they will not shrink, but grow, it’s like muscle growth, if you keep exercising those thoughts. Then they will grow stronger, larger in quantity and bigger in size. Overall, if you neglect those thoughts they will shrink, if you pay attention to those thoughts they will grow worse and worse, the prime example being a glass of water and it’s weight.

It was great

I loved the metaphor about the glass, I am now thinking in a different perspective than I was four minutes ago. How you can control and let go worries to feel better and full. The problems are the weight of the glass, but it doesn’t matter if it is 5 ounces more or less, if you carry them on your back for long, it will end up hurting.

Weight of water

If you continue to hold on to the glass it will become heavy = let go of your stress

I couldn’t go to sleeep because I had so much things to do and I was always streeed until I found th

If you have any weight on your shoulder jest let to go and think about it anther time

4/9/18

I felt really stressed and then I listened and was a little bit less stressed than before.

Let go ..

Let the glass go. Let go of the stress and worries of yesterday. And make the most out of your new day.

Truth

Stress comes In many forms. How we deal with it is all that matters in the end, life brings out the best and even the worst in us, it’s human nature to worry and try to change things we know we have no control over. At one point in this path we call life, we must let go , and realize that all the worrying and things we have no control over only serve to weigh us down. Let go, and take each minute as Thoe it was our last. Enjoy the path it’s not a race after all.

Weight of worries

I need to just take a break from everything every day and take time to myself and time to spend with God. I need to gain perspective that my worries aren’t very heavy, but the more and longer I think abt them and try to deal with them, the heavier and worse they feel to me.

.

We have to notice and acknowledge the stresses in order to let them go.

Let go

We all have things that we hold on to that we don’t even realize that we are holding on to the. Once we let them go we find that we feel a little lighter. That we are a little happier.

Weight of Water

I learned that you might feel like you can’t do anything when you think about your worries

Vocalize

I learned that vocalizing your problems is important and you should clear your mind of stress

Letting Go

I really needed to hear this & it gave me a sense of calm after i realized that the professor was right; its time to let go of the negativity.

I loved this

Listening to this I feel the weight of the glass being taken away from me. This was a great tool for me because I tend to hold onto all of my stresses and worries until eventually I finally just break into a deep sadness or deep anger.

Weight of water and stress

The longer we hold onto stress the more wear and tear it has taken on us. Our bodies don’t enjoy holding onto something so ugly

Stress

Something I need to let go but it’s is very very hard for my age

Glass Down Now

Being a high school student in college has not been easy. I pray that summer will allow me to put my glass down for a while. 11 more days. 🤞🏻

Thank you

I learned that I have to start working harder to get my work done so I don’t have to carry the weight of knowing I’m neglecting responsibilities around with me all day.

Weight of the Glass

I learned that I shouldn’t carry yesterday’s stress into my current environment. “Put the glass down.”

I thought about teaching my students this.

I learned that analogies are powerful teaching tools. I want to focus on setting my stress aside before bedtime

The Weight of Water

I learned that sometimes problems that seem so little at that moment, can cause a big effect later if you don’t let it go.

Stress

Stress is self inflicted. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Learn to let it go or it will control you.

Let it go

“The cold never bothered me any way.” The point this story tries to relay to listeners on how you can just “put the glass down” is difficult for me. I’m very familiar with the competition in this world. The stress alone is difficult to deal with so when we try to not carry our stress there’s a danger of forgetting or becoming oblivious. So what if your stress is based off being worried that you’re not worrying enough?

The Weight of Water

I had a very stressful day. And I always love LOVE hearing new perspectives. This is one I've never heard before but one I'll try to always keep in mind

Stress

I learned that I need to set aside some of my major stressors so I can heal.

Persoective

Stressful situations, worries, & past situations can be metaphorically thought of as a glass half full, half empty or how much it weighs but what matters is how far you're willing to carry it & who will you be spilling it on.

Session 6

I acknowledge that stress is a slow burn toxicity. The longer you hold on to negative thoughts, the more it/they embed(s) itself/themselves into your psyche. And the more you allow that to happen the more miserable and drained you become. The best thing is to just “LET GO” of certain things especially if they are related to or if they are the root of the “stressors”. Try to let go, but don’t give up control.

Stress

Stress is a weight you carry. You can deal with your problems right there and feel all of the emotions you are supposed to feel. Or you can carry it and continue to worry about it, which will never solve the problem.

Don’t hold on to long

I learned that the longer you hold on to things like regret, guilt, mistakes, you start to hurt emotionally and mentally.

Afterthoughts.

I was listening to this as I glazed over the images in José Roosevelt’s art book and it was interesting. This is one of those things that I won’t forget. “The weight doesn’t matter to me” and when there was mention of “...how long you hold the cup changes how heavy it may feel but the true weight of the cup never changes...” it was kind of a revelation. I never thought of stress in that sort of way. I should tell my friends this story one day. My question now is: how do I let this cup down gently?

😍😍

This taught me the longer you hold onto stress the heavier it will be the longer you hold onto a situation the more likely it is it weigh you down. Let it go

Interesting

I felt it was a very insightful perspective on how to view stresses

Well then

Stress is just water I guess, you gotta let go of water at sometimes. It’s always changing, shifting, moving.

Weight of water

I learned that If you hold in your stress and anxiety it will “push weight on your back.” So just talk it out or do some meditation

Don’t Hold On to Stress

I learned that the glass of water is like the things that bothers us during the day but we shouldn’t hold it in. When you leave work, leave the stress and annoyance there. Enjoy life because stress just ages you and make you sick.

Relieve yourself from all stress

Only you may know when its the time. Make a change. Don't the stress or worry define you. Open that trashcan and put it in there.

Relieve yourself from all stress

Only you may know when its the time. Make a change. Don't the stress or worry define you. Open that trashcan and put it in there.

Heavy

This is something I struggle with. I will hold on to something that's bothering me for weeks months even years. I need to learn to let go because the extra weight of things that don't even matter anymore aren't doing me any favors.

Today 05/06

I realized that I need to continue to leave yesterday there and move forward. I learned to let go. I learned not to put others above myself.

It hit hard on an emotional level making understandable

The weight of the stress might not be that bad at first but the longer you hold that stress the harder it will impact your life

Stress

I learned that whatever you are stressed about, you have to let it go and if you don’t let it go the stress you feel will only get worse.

ფიქრი დამანგრევრლია.

მთელი ჩემს ცხოვრებას ნეგატიურ ფიქრებში ვატარებ. ფიქრი ცხოვრებას მირთულებს, მიმძაფრებს სიტუაციას და ხშირად სავალალო შედეგამდე მივყავარ. ვისწავლე, რომ დროა ნეგატიური ფიქრები დავივიწო და მივყვე ცხოვრებას.

Put it down!

Great lesson! I learned that stress is like holding a glass of water. While the weight of the glass doesn’t change, the length of time we hold on to it makes it feel like it is heavy and can even make us numb. Stress happens, but we can either reflect on it and let it go or hold on to it until we are numb. I choose to put it down!

good

I felt very relaxed after listening. the calming music and her voice just made me very calm.

Help

But how do i put the glass down? Because i know my stress and problems but i can solve them

The weight of water

I feel like this was a true relatable thing. Personally I do hold onto things from the day before

Weight of Water: Review

I learned that you shouldn’t hold onto your stresses. You should instead, try to focus on other things because, if all you think about, are the things that stress you out, you will be overcome by that stress. So just take some time to breathe and it will all work itself out. :)

Weight of My World

This story goes into gives an interesting twist on the glass of water question. And I get the reason for this twist: instead of focusing on how much of something is in a person’s life, we should focus on whether or not we truly want to hang on to something. Honestly this story has given me an idea for a spell that deals with cutting negativity out of my mind and life. This is definitely a story I’ll carry for the rest of my life.

How I felt after listening

I felt as though I was getting more sleepy. But I wanted to keep listening because I knew the story had a moral behind it. This story made me feel a lot less stressed as well!

I didn’t feel sleepy at All!! It just reminded me of how I’m stressing out a lot about so many rhinf

And it’s just wrong so I felt bad for myself that I don’t deserve this!! It felt so bad but it’s my fault

Glass is heavy

I really need to empty the glass and put it in the cabinet.

Oh a great story

The point in this little lesson is huge. When you have stress just check if you carry a cup for nothing

Weight of water

I honestly really liked this story, it gave a really good viewpoint of how important letting go of stress is. 10/10

Stressors so light

I learned in that story that I shouldn’t stress so much... I need to let go and just do me. I have to be happy while I can and not let the negative get to me. I realized my stressors were just like the glass of water, light. Just put it down and move on.

The weight of water.

My worries and troubles are as heavy as that glass of water is after days of holding it up. And drop by drop the glass is getting fuller as the stresses of my life accumulate.

Weight of water

Put down that stress cup. Dont overthink into oblivion. Write it out.

I learned

Your stress can only control you if you allow it to. It doesn’t force itself onto you or barge in without you allowing it to, so you have to learn to separate yourself from it and turn it off. Just like you’d set down the water and not allow it to make you ache.

Day 1 - story

I found the story hard to relate with when it’s soooo hard for me to let go of things. I don’t know how to let go of things.

Letting Go

After listening to this story, I definitely gained a new perspective on what it means to let go and what it does to the mind, body and soul. I’ve always believed that letting go of negative thoughts or feelings or stressors is good for you. This is what I’ve told to people who feel like maybe they’re a bit overwhelmed. I never practiced this myself oddly enough. The more you hold on to something, the more it’ll affect you. Whenever I’m feeling anxious or stressed out, I find myself attempting to deal with it but it never really goes away. And then I feel more anxious and more stressed and then I begin to physically and mentally feel different. I’m angry but want to cry. I ache but I want to move. This story helped me to take the time and say “you know what, the longer you hold on to something, the more it’ll consume you and affect you.” It’s okay to let things go, even if it is to the side for another time. You can’t think with a clear mind if you’re distracted by something that is overwhelming for you.

Weight of water

I learned to let go of stress. I would even say to do something toward resolving it then and there. If you hold on to it, it will weight you down like the example she gave of the glass of water.

🧘🏼‍♀️

The mind, though tangible, can become solidified by patterns of thinking. We have to establish a time to focus on problems/solutions and not carry these thoughts throughout the day.

Don’t hold so tightly...

I learned to not hold onto bad feelings too long. Let it go... I believe in moderation and the extremes either to not care at all or to hold on for a long time are both not good. Really appreciated the glass of water analogy.

I can handle any thing for a brief period of time

Really good analogy- it’s all relative. I’ll try to remember this if I wake up with the weight of yesterday on my shoulders, to lay it down, rest, recharge, then pick it up again if I have to. Namaste

Hit home

This story hit home! I’ve carried the same worries that don’t tell me much other than stressing me out and keep me from enjoying the time I’m spending with those I love. I need to train my brain with these tools, like meditation, to just let go and be in the moment. I want to be able to enjoy my time with my boyfriend without these worries getting in the way anymore.

Eye opening

Not that I don’t intuitively know this, but the story spoke new light into current struggles in my life. Time to make some big changes.

Beautiful analogy

Let us all put our stresses and worries in a cup and then put it down for a while. It will feel very good. Awesome!

Stress relief

I have listened to this story several times. It is a great reminder when needed. Stress has made me physically ill from time to time, because I have allowed it. With the strong stressors I have in life, including an extremely ill daughter, a toll is often taken on my own health. I need to be reminded of the weight of the stress and this wonderful story helps me to remember to put it by the wayside at the end of my day. Not only do I sleep more soundly but I awaken much more capable of handling the upcoming day in a much healthier and happier mood, which is good for all. I listen to this frequently.

Stress management

I learned that the more we think of our stress, the greater the burden becomes

Perspective

I was reminded that as I have become more adept at leaving my worries and stress at the curb, I am focusing more on actions to take to move me toward where I want to go. Put the glass down.

Loved this

I find that I go to bed with the exact same stressors every day and then wake up with them as well, carrying them around all day in my mind, thinking and talking about them, and letting them frustrate me to the point my head is hurting (literally). This analogy was awesome, and put into perspective just how much I need to set my own heavy cup of water down for a while sometimes.

Weight of pressure

I learned that I need to take time to let go of stresses. Acknowledge them and remind myself that they are worries of future possibilities. I need to be here now in order to function properly that’s the way the body and mind were made and I know the consequences of not doing so.

Weight of water

I love this analogy. I also love - ships don’t sink because of the water around them- they sink because of the water that gets in

Made complete sense

After this tale, I began to think a lot about my life. It has so much relevance with something as simple as water in glass

Weight of water

I learned how good this story was so relaxing and comfort. It made me realize that nothing stronger tougher than we are today .

Forgetting...

This is a great story and I saw myself putting all my worries in a box and setting it down somewhere before I went to sleep. And then waking up totally refreshed and happily forgetting where I left them... thank goodness!! 😌

I felt so much calmer and less stressed

I learned that it’s best to let go of your stresses. I learned to breathe.

The story

This story really made me realize a lot not just about my relationship but about life as a whole

Weight of water

This is a good reminder not to hold onto worries or things that annoy you. When something really bothered me, I used to say, “The more I think about that, the madder I get!” One day, a wise friend replied, “Then, don’t think about it!” I was speechless at the time. The thought had never occurred to me to make it easy on myself and just put it out of my mind. Sometimes, I still forget, so I’m happy with this story as a new reminder.

I liked the metaphor of the heavy glass and do think worries are like that.

But it’s not that simple and he definitely oversimplifies and makes it seem like people with anxiety or sadness choose their situation. I don’t believe we do.

I felt

very impacted by this story. For so long, I’ve held all my worries for years and they’ve begun to warp my state of mind, steal my happiness, and even affect my physical health. I have to put the glass down, my arm is shaking with pain.

New perspective

It made me realize why I constantly feel more weighed down every day my stress continues

I learned

I learned that stress is all about perspective and how we see our worries.

life is what you make of it.

there will always always be stress and there will always be things there wanting to drag you down, shaking things off and moving on with a smile on your face is exactly what you need to do. the quicker you shake them off the better you feel, the more positive your life will be, and you’ll be happier.

Let go and move forward

The message was simple but powerful, I often see my stress and holding on to something as a sign of power, and self discipline. But many of my problems likely stem from my inability to focus on what’s important in the moment because I am distracted by the stress of something that has already past

Great Track ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

I felt a sense of stillness over come my body & mind.

I learned the importance of breathing and not holding your breath.

Feeling the Heaviness

I feel the stress when I wake up sometimes. This story helped me a lot, and it has been relaxing me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Uh

Is there a way where I can just listen to the sound effects for as long as I want?

Helped me reflect and have self realization.

If learned if I hold something in too long that’s when it starts to feel heavy; don’t bottle things up, let them go.

Letting Go

I really enjoyed this one. It helps me understand why something that seems so small can ultimately weigh me down. Now for the tough part... figuring out how to put the glass down when it seems to be glued to my hand... I can’t seem to be able to let my stresses go, and they just build and build. I try meditation, yoga, etc., and I’m relaxed during and maybe a few minutes afterwards, but then it all comes rushing back. I guess I need to keep practicing...

First story

I noticed that the constant and steady tone of the voice telling the story helped me relax.

The Heaviness of Our Worries

A good lesson on what happens when we hold on to our concerns so long that they weigh us down.

Weight of Water

And our body cannot work until we fill ourselves up with positivity and gratitude. Only then are we able to give fully and whole heartedly to those we care about.

Lucky Thursday 7-5-18

This meditation was very monumental. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It made it me really sit back and think about what I really I have to do and I really had to do. It also allows me to see that stress is not ok and I need to step back and re-evaluate. Thank you, Aura! Have a nice day Everyone!😀

Don’t be afraid

What i like about this video is to don’t be afraid about another version of the story everything can be good not just your version but the version of people

Weight of stress

Sometimes we need to let go of our worries and move on and if we don’t we will be in even more pain

Weight of Water Water is Life

I learned that It’s time I put the glass down or drink it and let it go let the water from Mother Earth heal my worries and insomnia.

Tired

When I was listening to this it made me so calm and peaceful I almost fell asleep

realization

i realized that i often overthink my situations or my stress and that i need to just let it go sometimes

Letting Go

I learnt that if u keep holding on to something for a very long time, in the end it will start to ache and hurt making you drop those things. Better sooner than later though

Weight of water

Glad I listened to this story again. It’s very easy to carry things around in your mind for much longer than is good for you. Often, I think, the stuff we spend lots of time worrying about either never happens or is not nearly as important as we thought. When it’s something very important, it’s a good idea to set it down before the weight wears us down so much we can’t cope or help.

Let go

We should think only about positive things and let go of the negative thoughts that will never help us

Drop your negative thoughts

I learned that we should always hold on to those positive thoughts to keep us going and let go of the negative thoughts to make way for more positive ok our mind.

4/Day 2

I learned that the longer you hold something in, or think about something, or dwell on something, the more you ache and the more painful it is.

Perspective

I learned that the problems, worries and thoughts we continue to hold on and carry only causes more pain to the body. If we learn to let go of things throughout the day, less stress and negativity will be on our backs!

Let go

I learned that problems etc cause more pain to the body when you hold on then to let go.

Heavy

I was doing the wrong thing my whole life, instead of keeping my feelings inside and lock them up, I just need to let them out and drop them, just like the glass of water. I feel so much lighter now.

Weight of Water

I need to let go of my stress and negative thoughts in order to feel lighter.

Stress free

I learned to let go of stress and put it down for awhile. Hold off on it and have no worries.

Comforting

I loved this story. It’s a really helpful analogy I will try to keep in mind.

Weight of water

Such a simple story but so insightful. This is an invaluable lesson that I know that I personally need to be aware of every day.

Visualization

Not only did I find this analogy to be insightful and comforting, I also think that it’s a great way to help you visualize putting small worries or long held grudges down. Visualizing it as simply putting down a glass of water might make it a more tangible way of letting things go.

Realization

I’ve always been told to relax and let go of what’s stressing me out but this really put the weight of stress into perspective!

Helpful

That really helped me compare my life feelings to something that was so easy. I fell amazing and like I can now conquer all of my stress

I needed this reminder today!

Recently, I'd been very weighted down by a heavy feeling, and I needed this today to kindly let me know to let go of it. This was exactly what I needed to hear today 😊

So true. I wish I could remember this all the time.

I really tend to hold on to things that I should let go of. Using nonjudgmental thoughts of simple awareness and focusing on gratitude should help.

Weight of Water

Great lesson to be learned from this story. I tend to overthink things & ruminate. Hopefully, whenever I pick up my glass of water I will be reminded to let go of my worries & anxiety.

Weight of water

Sometimes I feel like I’ve got the weight of the world on my shoulders. I need to be at peace with myself

this almost brought tears to my eyes listening...exactly what i needed to hear and needed to feel

the longer you hold on... the heavier it may get. do u see the glass half empty or half full?

First story

I'm fully relaxed now thanks to this story and I can continue my day without much stress

A Familiar Story; A Timely Reminder

I have heard of this story many times before. While I cannot exactly say I learnt something new and gained refreshing profound insight, it doesn't hurt too much to listen to this familiar story, again and again. This is a timely reminder for me (and for anyone) who, leading a stressful life, is gently reminded that taking a brief break to smell the roses from the constant burden you carry on better than none at all. A sweet metaphor, using the weight of water as an analogy for the burden one bears.

The Weight of Water

To me, this story is so similar to the tale of two wolves. It comes back to what you feed or give attention to. If you keep feeding into your worries they take over, if you starve them they’ll go away. Simple as that, look ahead, put your energy into things that move your forward

Letting go of stress

Letting go of stress as early as possible in the night is key, do not take it with you on your path as you move forward

The weight of water

this was a valuable lesson but somehow it made me feel sad which wasn't the intention but I can't help but feel sorrow for sll the times I've held onto my worries for too long, paralyzed by them instead of taking action in order to ending my stress. Now that I am more aware of this behaviour I'll try to change it in the future.

Weight

I get this so much. My new thing going on is how I’m feeling ok even good and I get anxious about being ok. I think when is it going to come back, the panic? I can say that with meditation and practice it has gotten better.

Perspective

I always forget that I can simply choose to let go of my problems instead of dwelling on them. This story helped me remember that I don’t need to carry my stress with me and let it ruin my day.

Worthy rerun

I listened to this story 6 months ago, but had a poor day today and was looking for an evening session to help me get beyond the anger I'm feeling toward the day. It was a poor one. Couldn't resolve a banking issue today, which was VERY important to me. Then an afternoon meeting for my daughter’s school LEGO robotics team went poorly because the district superintendent had given our makerspace/robotics lab over to unassociated meetings for school staff. We squeezed into a classroom where the meeting went VERY poorly due to lack of space. I NEED to let go of these stresses before they overwhelm me...I didn't quickly enough though and ended up losing my temper with my two teenaged kids! Which in turn upset my wife (NEVER a good position to find myself in! 😳😂)

Many problems are temporary

Yes, the glass of water weighs the same no matter how long you hold it. The key then is finding a way to share heavier burdens or to let it go and not get too upset by temporary problems—which is actually most of them.

Weight Lifted

This was exactly what i needed to hear. I feel so stressed about my job all the time. I just need to let it go and stop worrying so much.

Weight of thoughts

The more meditation sessions I do the lighter my mind becomes. This story reminded me that my worries and stress are nothing more then heavy thoughts with no weight except what I place on them. Each minute that passes by is another weight added on to that thought. I need to let go of my burdening thoughts and be free of heavy heart aches.

Stress

I learned that it’s important to let go of stress. It made me feel like I could just let go of worry and focus more on prayer, to be happier.

Glass of water

This story has a great analogy. It reminds me of choices I have made and reaffirmed them.

holding onto the the things you can control

i can’t control what others do, and if i worry to much about what could happen, i’m going to miss out on the good that is happening right now.

Weight of water

Let go. Otherwise it’ll weight you down. It could be a light weight of non importance, but could turn into the the heaviest weight

short meditations for a busy life

It's nice to take time out, to be quiet and still, I enjoy when in bed or in the bath

stress versus sick

This story teaches what to do about stress or worries and it's very instructive. However, this morning I felt (or rather was/am!) sick and there's no button for that. The emotions associated with illness might initially be frustration and a dislike of physically feeling this way. Something negative. After the initial frustration though I try to transition to acceptance and just do my best with it.

Water

It is wonderful to know how you can interpret simple things into something more complex, just like water...

Worry

Let that stress go and you’ll feel yourself become lighter. There’s no point in worrying it’s not going to change anything

Weight Of Water

What a beautiful lesson! I needed to hear this. I carry a lot of stress with me. Time to just let it go and be!

Weighing in

A lovely story that reminds me that it’s okay to acknowledge something and then set it down, set it aside or let it go. We don’t have to anxiously or fearfully hold on to things. When we do hold onto those anxiety producing thoughts rather than simply having the emotion weigh in, it becomes a burden. Just like a railroad car, I can wave at the emotion as I watch it pass by.

Stress

When u have stress it means u are a deeply caring person. And u can easily let ur stress go by breathing deep. In and out. And thinking of breathing in positivity and greatness and exhaling the stress and badness.

11/6

Today I learned that my stresses are always going to be the same weight themselves, but the longer I hold onto them and the harder I make it to get through other things, it seems like they get heavier. I will always have the choice to let the glass go.

Stress and worries can become heavy weights

I relearned the power of holding onto stress and worries in the body—they manifest as heavy pain in the body. So I am working to reimagine and engage in a life where I can put those weights down more easily.

hmm

I feel like I need to pay more attention to this story because far too often I cannot escape my stresses. I do need to learn to put them down from time to time.

👍🏽

Brilliant analogy. Simple mind state remedy for organizing stress.

Hey guys hows it going

Kripparrian here. We are all vegans on this blessed day. Please subscribe for more content!

Stress

I learnt that I hold onto stressful thoughts for way too long

Great Analogy

It is important to remember that our burdens or stresses only effect us if we add weight to them. Give yourself adequate time to work through negative emotions, but do not hold on to them for too long or they will wear you down. This is a good reminder of that.

weight

holding on to things can really mess with how I walk about my day, or week. However letting them go, or solving anything that might be putting a burden on me. Definitely makes me feel like I'm coasting through life with ease, and no worry.

things are in the past for a reason. don’t carry your burdens into a new day

everyday needs to start with you empty handed. don’t hold onto the glass through the night, set it down and start each day with no glass. as your day goes on you’ll gain a glass and probably water, but as night comes know to put it down and restart yourself. things are in the past for a reason, keep them there.

1st Time

I didn’t bother to listen, maybe when I actually feel like it I’ll give it an actual try.

Weight of Water

You need to let go of your daily stressors because even if they haven’t increased or decreased, they will weigh heavier on your mind the longer you worry about them. Give yourself a rest, and pick up your burdens when you’re ready to carry them again.

Weight of Water

I felt like what they were saying was true and that we need to find time to let go of our stress. Because if you don’t let that out it will eventually make you more angry and stressed.

Weight of water

I feel calm That’s all I need to say.I am relaxed happy and I am stress free great to do at night

Perfect

It’s currently 11:50, December 31, 2018. This was so perfectly timed to hear in many ways I can’t even begin to explain. As I go to sleep and wake up, I’ll remember to let go in the new year

04:51 am, stressed and can't sleep

I learned to calm and think of everything into a different perspective

My first review

That there are more than one answer and that if thing are going bad you can always make it better . I loved this and you all should definitely listen to it

the weight of water

I learned to let go of pains and problems by being open and not ashamed to talk about them.

Stress

I need to let go of my worries. I always stress about little things. I need to enjoy life and relax

Weight of water

The longer I think about my problems the more numb I will become until I drop my glass of water it’s time to lay it down on Jesus feet .my burdens are

Holding on fist thing in the A.M.

I realized that I actually scan my life first thing in the morning looking for the worries or stressors from yesterday to carry them into my new day. I didn’t realize that I was doing that.

Weight of water

I felt relieved. Letting it all rest to the side. Stress can’t over run me anymore. Thank you.

First Session

I noticed that this session made me rather upset. It made me feel more aware of the anxieties that I have, and in turn, I felt trapped.

FeltDeeply

I can leave the struggles and mistakes behind because I god willing have a new day tomorrow

Release

I had heard that story before, but something today made me pause and take notice. I will not carry stress today!

I liked it

I have depression, and I just went through a breakup, so when I heard this I thought I’ve been through this before, it’s a lot easier to want to pick it up because it’s the closest thing I’ve found to happiness but yet it gives me a reason to cry. It really shows what happens when you dwell on things. I feel better now, at least for right now

I feel Satisfied

Let go of what stressed me, otherwise I’ll have a regrettable consequences.

i noticed

i noticed that the first day i used this app it helped me be more active than how usually i am i also noticed that when i skipped a day i ended up being grouchy and mad bc i didnt get enough sleep. in conclusion i learned that this is a very great app.

a cup of worry

I really enjoy the analogy. it really put a new perspective on how I will look about stress and worr

Weight of Worries

i learned that carrying worries will do nothing to solve them.

I understood

I understood the different perspective she had on that glass of water and how stress is exactly like it.

Let go

I need to let go of all the negativity around me. Somehow I will lift this weight of my shoulders.

Letting Go

Stop holding on and enjoy every moment. Be present and be grateful

Work in Progress

Yes, I have to let go of the past. It gets heavier every day. I just need to figure out how to do it. I will keep going.

Weight of water

Anyone can relate to this, a perfect description! I felt very at peace after listening.

burdens

i learned that stress isn’t something so worry about each day. it’s not something to carry around on your shoulders and let that bring you down. give yourself a break and set down those worries, just like the glass.

Let go

I felt relief, maybe we have to let go of our problems by making something about them, or speaking out.

Water

I loved the analogy... I'm putting down my glasses of water.

Anxietu

I learned that I have the choice to carry all my worries with me, or to put them down. I choose to put them down.

Letting go

I learned that I should let go of the things that stress me out everyday.

Great lesson

Good listen before a nap! Very soothing lady’s voice & nice sounds in the background *Goodnight*😴

Very calming

i noticed that the narrator was speaking in a very calming, natural, and soft relaxing tone. i feel like the narrator did this to try and get the listener to calm down and relax. surprisingly, this worked for me!

Story

I liked how it put meditation in the context it really showed me what stress can do and how I have to deal with it. In the long run I hope to be more careful of this.

Be easy

This was a wonderful way to illustrate the unnecessary pain we can put ourselves through

Anxiety

This helped me to understand the anxiety that I’m going through at the moment and to acknowledge that I need to let it go. I’m not sure how to do that yet but I hope to learn soon.

Glass of water stress

Nothing new, I’m familiar with the video. But the background music and speakers voice were a calming. This video is a great reminder to let things go... relax and let them go

Stress release

I’m going through a painful change in my life right now and although the narrator stated the obvious i needed to hear it.

Weight of life

We need to stop entertaining the things that only brings negativity into our lives. If there’s no lessons/ learning experiences let them go.

Weight of water

I learned that just because there is a different perspective doesn’t mean that either is wrong or right. Each person looks at a situation differently from the next

Weight of water

A very good story of shifting one’s perspective. We tend to see what’s in front of us instead of the bigger picture. Thank you.

first story

i loved this story. it had such a good message. i favorited it as soon as i was done with the session!

Didn’t realize

I didn’t realize at first that it was a metaphor for letting go

weight of water

people are wise and smart and intelligent. i am not one of those people.

I feel better

Really I feel better after I spend my time with aura .thanks 🤗

The Weight of Water

i learned that it would be a good idea to wake up in the mornings and take some time to go ahead and get things out of my head, to let them go so they would not bother me all day. taking the extra time in the mornings to think may be just what i need to have a clearer mind.

soothing

learned something new about handling stress... it’s like a glass of water- if you hold it up for a long time, the glass doesn’t change, but the pain in your arm does. the glass is like your stress.

CHANGE

Before I want thinking about how great really is and know I fell happy ❤️❤️

Such a good message

Such a good meaning behind the story . So true and help fuk

Wow!

I learned that the more you stress and worry about stuff the less your gonna get stuff done in life🤧😌

First Session

I noticed that the water in the background almost faded out because I was focused on picturing the story

Weight of water

Of s night time I need to let everything go, perhaps into a diary before I go to bed so I don’t spill

The longer you hold it...

Although I’ve heard this before, I couldn’t have listened to it again at a better time than now. Lately, I’ve been allowing my stress and anxiety about my future get the better of me. Sleepless nights, a mind filled with white noise, jumpiness, I’ve experienced many things. One of my biggest goals of this year is to try and get a better grip on how I react to things, people, situations, thoughts. Exactly as the lady said, the longer you hold it (it being anything that has the capability of rendering you completely and utterly exhausted- mentally and physically), the heavier it gets. And at your weakest moment, everything will drop like a time bomb. This lesson is very important. Being in control of what you let affect your state of mind can greatly improve your responses to everything happening in or around you. If you are able to operate and go about your daily tasks with a clean, calm mind, you are able to stay happier and perform a lot better. This story taught me to take a step back at the end of each day. To unload all my worries and troubles of the day. It taught me to go to bed as a new person so that when I wake up the following morning, I can start over with a fresh mind. I aspire to master this practice of letting go because it will, for sure, benefit me greatly in the long run.

holding on

I have to let things go...for my well being .. for the pain and heartache to stop .. I know right now I’m not happy but I well be soon .. I have to soon accept what happen with Herson and let him go ... he was my everything now I’m alone the best thing I can do is work on my self for me .. to be happy .. but how I wish I knew what he was doing .. if he thinks of me .. or if he has forgotten me already

wow

this story was amazing to here and just internally realize how much i was holding on my shoulders that i have absolutely no control over, that i wouldn’t even have noticed otherwise!

Taking time to think

It’s crazy when you realize that even though there are things in your life that are stressful and if you take the time to try and not put tons of thought into it on a constant basis, it can make you feel a little lighter and happier. For me when I dwell back on some of those stressful things I actually have a better approach to handling them.

I liked the session

I learnt that not to get stressed by thinking about the problem

Bye stress

I learned that you cannot hold onto the thoughts that bring you down. Let them go each day and you will feel lighter

Thoughts

Don’t overthink the things trouble you. Stop thinking about them.

I felt

stress is a constant factor in life, the longer you hold onto negative thoughts, feelings, or energies the heavier the weight of the water becomes. it's not the amount of water, it's the amount of stress that gets heavy. be proactive.

Stress

Let go of worries & stress before they consume body & mind. Time spent dwelling too long on an issue drains energy & makes life harder

Anxious

In this video everything comes down to one point which is don’t worry about what does deserve to be worried about

No need to hold it

Holding the water all the time has no benefit, it just causes you discomfort. You only need to hold it when you are drinking from it. All other times, let it go

Comparison

I like the way they depicted the weight we need to let go as something basic that we use on daily basis

january 26th

i learned that if you don’t try to let go of the stuff it’s just gonna burden u

Refletindo..

Stress

Don’t stress about things for too long. It’ll only hurt you in the end

GAP

G-Grounded (body) A-Awareness (Mind) P-present (Heart) 🧘🏻‍♂️ meditation = medicating 💎

Glass of water

I learned that you shouldn’t hold onto stress for a long time cause it will build up and you will break. Let everything go after awhile

Letting go of the glass of water

When I have a stressful hectic week I let it transfer into my personal time. Then my personal time becomes me battling with my to do list and feeling inadequate and mentally weak. I need to let go and have faith. It’s important for me to enjoy my free time and allocate time to work on stress management. This meditation was extremely insightful.

Worry

Today I learned that I create my worry. I only worry because I choose to focus on unnecessary thoughts, thoughts that create the exact feeling that I’m trying to avoid. The power is in my mind and thoughts.

Weight of Water

I learned that I control how stressed I am, an nothing else.

Great Perspective

I enjoyed this piece and it’s perspective. It fits my mood when I worry about things that will still be there later and I cannot change. I can only let it go and then address it when I can

Good listen

It’s exactly how I feel when I hold onto things. Makes you think.

Wow

I learned that you shouldn’t hold on to the stressful things in life

Awake

Open my eyes on a few things I’m gong through right now in my life.

Let your stress go

I learned there are things I can’t control but the things I can control I need to let go of the stress I am attaching to them.

Stress

I learnt that if you hold your stress for to long it will hurt you

Weight of Water

To let go of my stress and worries. I wish it would’ve given me methods on how to do that

Weighted stress

Carry stress for more then a minute can take a toll on your body. Learn to live life don’t over think. This life is so short to worry about stress.

Letting Go

I learned that I need to let go of the things that are bothering me.

Letting go

This was a great coaching story. It made me realize how much my thoughts can hold me down and how I need to let go.

Mindfulness to decrease stress

A healthy way to let go of the stress is through mindfulness. We hold many fears, stressors, worries and through mindfulness we can let them go...

Reflection

I felt like I was in a Philosophy course, at first, but the story was very relevant to me in that moment. Almost a bit TOO relevant. I started reflecting in the wrong way, but it occurs to me that this is something I need to work on, anyway.

Peace

Helped me understand that somethings just aren’t necessary to worry about and that if you get things done in time and quickly the easier it will be to be calmer and more focused.

Putting things to rest

I need to put my problems down like the glass otherwise they will continue to weigh me down.

28.01.

I see that my challenges as only as challenging as I imagine them. Not to extract from the real difficulties of some things, but all is well and all is good as long as I take them on one step at a time. Have a good day, K. ☺️

what i learned today

that some things need to b let go of. this truly made me relaxed and i really enjoyed it. i need to forget some of my struggles and focus on the positive.

Letting Go

Move on! Nobody wants to stay sad, so you put that problem behind you and you move on to become a better you

28.01.

Everyone knows they‘re not supposed to desperately hold on to things but i think a riminder like this is very important

I felt encouraged to improve my perspective of my daily routine and improve myself

No matter how things are we need to think outside the box to change for better outcome

Morning meditation

I felt relaxed, ready to start the day with a fresh and open mind

Accept.Let it go.

Give your body time to rest. I am trying to accept suffering as a reminder to appreciate the happiness again. I‘ve been happy for so long it became normality. Besides the unpleasant effects pain includes, it reminds me as well how happiness will not always be in my daily life and how I can learn to be grateful for the same amount of happy days now like I‘ve had before the suffering.

Good

This gives me a good feeling for the day and made me feel like I’m going to be better today

relaxing

It was really relaxing and i learned that sometimes you have to let go

I felt nice and insightful.

I learned that letting go can make is better and happier person.

Relaxed and inspired

I learned that you’re stresses and worries only become worse when you don’t let them go

Weight

Holding on to something for too long definitely adds weight. Letting go and knowing that tomorrow is a new day is really refreshing

Session9

Relaxing and confirmation goal has been reached and a new is out there to be achieved

Reflection

I related to this story I tend to carry around my problems throughout the week, I should start letting go at the end of the day so that I can have a successful tomorrow !

A good reminder

A good reminder of something we tend to forget. Also relax your shoulders. You carry stress there too and end up tense.

Take time

If you just take some time out of your day to listen. You’ll feel relaxed. You really will.

Weight of Water

I learned that, when you hold onto problems they get worse and worse. If you solve each one everything will be ok

STRESS RELIEVING

That was Amazing!! I will definitely be using this when everyday to see how I’m feeling!

Weight of water

I learned that holding on to stress will weight you down. I need to let go of stressors in my life

I felt better about me

I learned that it starts with me. And that I need to focus on the things that matter most

Before bed

I learned that the longer you sit and dwell over things then worse off you are in the end

I felt as though i could take my stress and just let the weight of the stress be lifted from me.

The longer you carry your stress the more it effects you. You need to find away of letting go of your stress through meditating, every day.

Water

I learned that if you hold your problems to long at some point you will have to drop them

Wow

I felt like this opened my eyes. The more I carry negative things the heavier I become.

Morning

I learned that the more you hold onto your burdens and stress..the worse it will be in the long run. Learn to not carry that heavy weight on your back all day and instead think positive. Not every stressful thing last a lifetime.

What I Learned

I learned that our stress is like a glass of water. The more we hold in that stress, the more paralyzed we get.

Weight of water

Yesterday I felt paralyzed because I held onto the anxiety and worry all day instead of just letting it go like I did today

Weight of water

interesting listening and calming voice really good and interesting talk

Each one is better than the last

Even though the stories are short, they are poignant. Her voice is soothing and lulls me to sleep. I shared this with a family member in the hospital and she was so excited. She wants this on her phone so she can listen everyday.

Reflection

I felt relieved and calm after listening to this story 👍🏼 I recommend others to listen as well

Reflection

This story is very inspiring. Don’t hold onto your worries otherwise it will eventually be too much wight on top of everything else

Day 5

I learned to let go of stress that I have been holding onto for too long

Weight of water

I learned that you shouldn’t hold in your stress. Because at the end of the day it’s all unnecessary and bad for your health

Pretty good

I have heard this story before, so I wasn’t expecting much until it talked about how holding onto things for a long time will make them worse. This is a real eye opener.

Reflection

I learned that I need to let go of stress and not bottle it up.

Reflection

i need to let go of things that worry and stress me out. this made me think differently about the things i’ve been going through and how i deal with them and realized that the way i’ve been handling things have probably made my situation worse. this makes me think that i can change and all i need to do is let go of my worries

Spread the word

This was an awesome analogy, it’s always nice hearing this, makes me want to peacefully tell my wife the same story

Realization

You know how when you’re holding something light,you don’t realize it’s heavy until you start to think about it? Well I think that is how I am with my anxiety and stress.. When I am around people and I am occupied I don’t even think twice about.. but this story really made me realize how much of a burden it really is.

Relaxed

I suddenly feel immensely more relaxed and like I can achieve more, more motivated to get things done to improve myself each day. But at the same time relaxed and not stressing.

Sometimes

I should try to keep this in mind when the world becomes very dark and I have a lot on my conscience.

Mind wandered

I do need to concentrate on the message & really listen, next time will close my eyes in the hope that I am less distracted

I liked the story. Mind internalized the story.

Do not hold onto the negative bad thoughts of not being good being good enough. That is extra stress that pulls you down.

Problems

Our problems are temporary and that it’s always good to let go .

I learned that everyone is human and there is only so much that I can take without burning out. Even your phone needs to recharge everyday.

Freeing reminder

Reminds me to finish tasks that stress me out - so I can get them over with and free myself of unnecessary and avoidable stress! 🌱🙌

Letting go

I learned that I do hold on to my worries of the day, bring them back home with me affecting my life and the people around me. I need to learn to not bring my worries with me everywhere I go.

Weight of water

This what’s quite a relaxing story, the music and the slight steady voice she spoke in was very calming

everything

i learned that everything has a weight, but it gets heavier after times so you can better not wait too long so it doesn’t get too heavy.

Relax

I learned that the longer I hold on to everything that’s weighing me down it’s gonna get worse. I need to let go of all my stress and relax

A break

I learned that if I keep letting little things stress me out, it’s going to hurt me and I’ll never progress in life.

Wow

I never realized how much my thoughts have been a burden to me. It’s nice just setting them aside even though you know your going to pick it up once more.

True indeed

Don’t bother Just leave it on time Everything will be fine Just go with the flow..

stress free

i learned that it’s okay to let go for awhile and just relax without the pressure being on you constantly

Very needed

I learned that I am allowed to let go for a while. I should enjoy life and not let my struggles keep me from that.

Weight of water

Haven’t heard that story in a while. “Don’t carry your stress into the next day” I think that really spoke to me. Wonderful story.

Cuppa water

The longer you burden yourself with stress and anxiety the heavier you feel fro within

Weight of water

‘Don’t carry your stress into the next day’ an important thing to remember

Cup of water

Don’t carry stress with you, it just makes things worse and brings you down. Sometimes u just gotta let go and move on.

Weight of water

You have to letting go your problems sometimes to see things in a different way

:)

I became really depressed in a relationship and broke it off. Heard about this app and used it everyday. I’ve never felt happier or more confident in myself.

Day2

Today, I learned that the longer you hold on to something, the stronger it gets.

Handle stress

The more you hold onto the more it only budons you. Remember to either let it go. Or take a hold of it.

Weight of water

Sometimes we are the ones piling onto our own burdens. Certain things just have to be let go or we will never find piece. This is a great story; I had my older children listen to it and they responded positively.

Loved it

I feel the result ps even after 2 days! I see more good in the world and I see things more clear. I don’t focus on the negative things. I loved the story and every day I will try to be more mindful of my worries.

Weight of water

Let it go and stop worrying about what happened yesterday or days ago. Live today and live happy

weight of water

we need to let go and relax,you have to be patient with yourself

Water

I learned that it is just the way you let stress affect you.

Water

Don’t carry the stress around, as the longer you hold it, the heavier it will be

Nothing new

Nothing new......need motivation .......".........boring Nothing new......need motivation .......".........boring Nothing new......need motivation .......".........boring

Made me cry

Being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Anxiety years after trauma, this actually made me cry. For 14 years I’ve been carrying what has happened to me and it’s affected everything in my life; my relationships with others and myself. In a constant state of worry or distress is no way to live. I need to take my power back.

Weight of water

Let go of the past as it can hold you down and stop you from living your best times

Weight of Water

I learned that carrying worries is unhealthy, and that thinking about just the necessary amount each day is more than enough.

wright in my hand

i need to let go for happiness and to relieve my stress once the day is over, forget about it

Weight

I learned that I need to let go of unnecessary stress or it will break me down

Great experience

Learning a couple of things to better my life daily, I would recommend the app to my friends for daily meditation

Stress

You have to let go of the stress and burdens in your life to truly feel a weight lifted off your shoulders.

I learned that holding on to things that stress you out really takes a toll on your body.

Thinking about them daily and constantly only affects the way you act and it makes an impact on your mood.

Weight of water

I loved this story it really helped me just to let go of my stress and anxiety.

Water

I loved this story. It made me look at how I’ve been living my life and how I have held up glasses of water till I dropped them. It made me realize I could never be truly happy without putting glasses down before they get the chance to break.

Stress

I learned I am not alone with anxiety.I'm good now than before.

Stress

I learned I am not alone with anxiety.I'm good now than before.

Weight if water

I learned a new perspective of dealing with long underlying problems to not allow them (glass of water) to weigh you down

Weight of water

I learned that we go one in our lives with this burden and sometimes we aren’t comfortable with it but we choose to stay with it instead of letting go

Let Go

I learned that the longer you hold on to your stress and burdens the more painful it is and the weaker you get.

I am allowed to put the glass down

It’s not bad or wrong to let myself feel ok, I don’t need to constantly search for something to be upset over. It’s not blasphemies for me to have a moment of peace. I have permission to feel ok. I have permission to feel ok.

Weight of water

i understand how important it is to put down that cup of water if you will to let go of the worry’s and stress of yesterday problems so you can deal with the new ones coming your way

Calm

As I’m doing homework this was playing in the background and I just felt so relaxed and stress free. It’s a great feeling after a long hard week.

Lifted

I learned that I don’t need to be so worried about things all the time I need to focus on the present and what I can handle right now and what I can do in the moment and not worry about what is out of reach. A sort of weight was lifted off of me as I listened and had this realization.

Journal

I feel very heavy but at the same time like I’m not even here school doesn’t help at all

Peace

This is a lesson that we sometimes forget because of the constant pressure of today’s society. Definitely a wonderful reminder.

Amazing

I am going to use this advice through out the day thank you so much

wonderful

This message really struck me and I will remember it for a long time

End of the day

I will try to remember to let all my problems go by the end of the day.

Weight of water

I relate to this heavily bc one time in my life I had such stressful arguments with a friend for such stretched out period of time it physically affected my body I developed multiple large ulcers in my stomach and I would get crippling migraines every other day so let it go set that glass down before it takes a toll on you

My Worries

I know I should let them go, but how? How can I just not think of them?

Stress

I learned that my stress only gets as I bad as I let it get!

Weighing down

I learned that thinking about my problems all the time is weighing me down. To feel light again, i need to stop thinking about it all the time

This helped

I Learned that I’m more in control than I think I am and if I keep trying I could let go of things I can’t control.

let it go

this short story is a great reminder of how holding onto stress or negativity will weigh you down and make you weary. time to learn to let things go.

the burden

For me the weight of troubles would be treated the most if you stop ignoring them, face them and treat them in a way that it brings serenity in you

Aha moment

I’ve been focusing a lot on creating my reality on purpose as opposed to on accident and then reacting to it. This story helped me realize that I am in control of how I feel. Holding on doesn’t help, it makes it hurt more.

Don’t hold on to your stress

I learned that you don’t need to hold on to something sometimes you need to let it go

I learned that if you hold something for a long period of time your arm will start to hurt

I learned that if you hold something for a long period of time your arm will start to hurt

No 1

I learned that, you cannot hold stress/anxiety for a long period of time. You need to let everything go to get ease of mind.

I felt my body stress and then loosen up

I learned that if I just listen I could even fall asleep to it

2/11/19

I learned that if I keep worrying and worrying about the same things, they’ll eventually make me crack under the pressure. Sometimes you may need to take a step back and focus on things that make you benefit. Stressful things and situations are only what you make of it. So, don’t make it bigger than you.

I noticed that my mind softened a bit when I learned that I had to drop the stress I’ve been holding

I learned that if I don’t think about my worries as much, they won’t wear me down.

Stress

Stressing about something doesn’t help you prepare for it. Instead of stressing about my classes, I can occupy my mind with something else that is more productive and will result in me being in a better mood.

I felt very calmed and relaxed while listening to this.

I learned that sometimes you really do just have to let things go.

Weight of water

I was able to relate to this very much. I have come to point in my life where I am seeking growth within myself. Metaphorically speaking, I feel ready to put down the glass of water or let go of my worries

Stress

I learned that we should not carry all of our stress, but put it aside because after a while it will begin to affect us , and we should just be happy and pray to god about anything you need help on or feel stressed about.

analogy of the glass

I liked the analogy of the glass. I never thought of my stress that way.

Very very useful. Just in right time. It’s important to remember the idea of this story.

We should take care of ourselves by letting go when it’s time

Day 1: Glass Weight

Holding on to something is harmless for a short amount of time, but it can cause pain when you hold onto it for a long time. Let it go. I feel relaxed and conscious of my internal body.

Day 4

I enjoyed that analogy a lot. I myself am trying to learn not just how to put down the glass, but to hand it to God before I drop it. I’ve never thought of it that way before, but I enjoyed it

Relaxed

That my thoughts shouldn’t revolve around one problem for to long and that I should free my mind

Letting go

I learned that the longer you keep your thoughts and stress, the bigger they will be on your shoulders. Releasing them when they begin will lower them and it will relieve yourself.

It’s not easy to let go

I learned that I need to listen/remember this each evening because I have a habit of carrying things with me day in and day out. It’s a heavy burden.

Weight of Water

I learned that I really have to start letting things go before they start having a profoundly negative effect on my emotions.

1 / 2nd time using the app properly x

I noticed myself getting more tired but as soon as the track finished I was awake again :/

The weight

If in hold on to these mistakes and regrets I have it will only weigh on me more the longer I hold on to these feelings

My Cup of Water

I’ve been carrying a weight for so long it feels like it’s grown with me, attaching harder to me every day, this person who treats me so bad weighs me down, and I knew when I listened to this that he was my cup of water, and I need to set him down.

Okay

I listened to this and just closed my eye and imagined a place with noises listening to the birds trees and water focusing on my breathing and I was at peace and didn’t want it to end.

Nothing

I learned that I shouldn’t stress about the little things because it will eventually make me tired and lose/break my glass.

Wow

This is my first session and it relates to my life so much. Right now I’m taking AP world history and I am just so stressed and depressed because I’m getting less than 6 hours of sleep each night because of the homework. This is great

Letting go of stress

It’s important to let go of worries and stress, even if it feels impossible, the action of trying to let go is already progress. Try a little harder to not pay attention to the stress. The more you hold on to it, the heavier it gets.

Session 3

While listening to this I was able to visualize my own problems in my life, and realized that I have been carrying them for so much that I’m actually hurt inside. I have so much worries and concerns and always care about the approval of other people towards my action. All of that changes today. Or at least today will be the first step in the right direction.

It’s so relaxing

I love the background music ohh it makes me feel safe and relaxed.

Stress management

Up until recently I’ve been dealing with terrible stress and my stress didn’t improve bc I learned how to manage it but rather bc everything I was stressing over has gotten fixed. I definitely need to work on my stress management bc it impacts my health, my mental, and even my relationships when I’m stressed as it plagues and touches everything I do.

Mental Breakdown

We all have “girl problems” well I’ve got that and a cold right now. On top of that I’ve held in stress and anxiety and was having a breakdown. This just calmed me down so much!

16 Feb 2018

I learned to relax and take a deep breath once every day to have my inner peace. Appreciate what I have, my friends, family, and what others have given me.

Good

I learned that is is not good to hold stress on yourself.That it is better to let things go instead of holding onto old feelings/memories that may haunt me.This also taught me that KIKI STILL LOVES KANYE AND HES GONNA LEAVE HIS BED AND MAMA FOR HER

February 16th

I learned that how weight is our life depends on how long we carry and hold our worries, problems, and burdens. If we just leave it, leave all those worries just for that day, we may live happier life 😊

Holding on to the weight of the world

Holding onto & overthinking what happened yesterday, last night or last week is not good for me. Placing blame (on myself or on others) is not helpful.

stress

i learned to let go and move on from things that make me upset or stress me out

Be happy

I learned that u shud let go of ur stress and be happy. Be thankful, appreciate what u have and don’t keep wishing for more

Sunday February 17, 2019

This short story really hit home for me. God and the universe always finds ways to send me messages that pertain to whatever I am dealing with at the moment and it feels great. From this short story I’ve learned that it’s okay to be sad, down, stressed etc but only for a moment. We should never carry our issues with us. Learn to feel and then let go of those negative emotions bc the longer you hold onto them the heavier they become and eventually it’ll break us! This was a beautiful message! Thank you God and Universe for this! ✨🌻❤️🙏🏽

Worry can drive you

When you worry it’s like water weighing down on you. You can ask God to help take off the worries or you can leave them on you but worry is a liar, so is the devil that is what he is trying to do make you be miserable be better than that. Don’t be a worrier be a warrior.

Day 1

I learned that life is about perspective. And you can’t hold on to things that stress you out. It’s not going to make the problem go away or get any easier. It’s just going to weigh you down.

Day 1

Through this story I feel that I have unnecessary things weighing down on me that I need to let go of! I feel refreshed!

Day 1

I noticed during the story that I have a lot of things weighing down in me.

Baggage

I feel like this story helped me realize that you can’t hold on to unnecessary baggage you have to let it go if you want the pain to stop

Day 1

I learned that you need drop your worries and move on to be happier.

Weight of Water

The longer I hold onto the things that cause me stress, the more it weighs me down until I can’t handle it anymore. I need to learn how to let go of those things before it hurts me more than necessary.

i felt relieved and calm when listening to that story

it’s good to take time to calm down and just try and always relieve some stress and not let it have a big toll on you

day 1

i learned that i don’t always have to carry around stress because it’s probably not even relevant at the moment

Ridley

I learned that I will never get Ridley because he is the stress and hope and sadness that is holding me down. I need to give up on him, but when I am with him my heart lights up idk what to do!

Unrequited infatuation/love??

I learned that it would be wise to let go of someone if they do not feel the same about me because I’m simply wasting my time thinking about them all day and feeling sad that I’m not a part of my life.The optimistic part of me always thinks that somehow,they will think the same way about me in the future but I’m simply too engrossed by that prospect.Instead,I should just move on and have some fun with my life.

I learned

I learned that I should focus on my stress level and when I feel like it’s too much I should start relaxing and focusing on myself. Whatever I was doing or whatever it was can be talked, finished or fixed later.

i feel

i feel all the stress i have and all the worries won’t go away. i can’t drop them i don’t know how and it hurts a lot

I feel

I feel like I can’t stop being stressed about my biology quiz, and it’s keeping me up but I can’t bring myself to study and it makes me hate myself

I felt

I felt still anxious after this but more at peace with my station in life as well. This made me realize everyone has their own glass and that’s okay as long as you don’t have that forever and know how to take a breath. I can’t take a breath but I know that it won’t be like that forever

My stresses

This reached out to me and touched me today and it’s making me think about everything I’m stressing about and I think I should just let go it would make everything less heavy

Weight

Release is vital; holding on to things in my head will weigh me down. Let it go!

Stop holding on

Stop holding on to things that aren’t your fault because it builds up

Weight of Water

I learned that when you think of all the stress or concerns you have, it reflects on your mind and makes your mind mentally heavy. This is comparison to the glass of water, whereas it’s not heavy to start off with, but over time it grows heavier and heavier.

Entry #1: weight of water

I learned from a simple but accurate analogy that if I don’t let go of my stress I will brake and it I must learn to let go because stress is only over powering when you hang onto it for too long. The only way to succumb to the devil of stress is by giving it your time and effort. You must let go-or else- you will become numb and broken.

Relaxed

Forest is relaxing. Love app. So calm,cool and tired.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The weight

I learned that holding on to some daily stressors for a long period of time can become a harful stress for the future and a useless weight on my shoulders

Letting stress go

I learned that you need to be able to let stress go because the longer you hold on to it, the more the weight of it will build up and make you collapse more later on.

Revelation

It doesn’t only work this way for your problems, it also works that way for the weight of other peoples problems that you decide to carry too.

What I learned

I learned that you have to let go of your problems. I learned that if you don’t let go then that could lead to you not being able to do anything or hurting.

Letting stress go

Letting stress off your shoulders or hands make you feel better and as long as you hold it. It might make u even more stressed

letting go of stress

i learned that you have to let go of your stress and forget about it

Soothing

Definitely relaxed me, stress shouldn’t be held for so long, eventually everyone needs a release

What i learned

That we can’t have the weight of old stress and worries on us Bc it causes us to break and feel numb

My feelings

I related to it so much , I just felt my body feel relief , I felt my stresss just slowly disappearing . I realised stress is in my mind

Stress

It’s amazing how she put what I’ve been doing for a while into words I’ve learned that if you don’t think about problems or things that could be very stressful to you then the affect are nearly invisible but also if you forget to long then they can come back and bite you in the ass. It’s a blessing and a curse

Destress

I noticed that throughout the story, I could totally relate and that my worries are simple obstacles in the grand scheme of things

Weight of Water

You can’t keep the burdens of your stress and sadness with you. Like the glass of water, the longer you hold on to them the more you ache. Learn to let go. Put the glass down.

Letting People Go

I need to let go of the people causing stress because it will just keep hurting and build up. It won’t help me.

I learned

That no matter how much you worry or stress about something it doesn’t change the size of the problem, just the weight on your shoulders.

Weight

Wow. Just wow. I’ve never heard this analogy before but it really hit home for me. I hold on to my stresses all the time. And they really do make me feel numb. I just need help in learning how to let go of the “cup”.

Stress

I learned that letting go is the best thing to do and that nothing lasts forever so there is no need to be so worried sometimes like I do and the things that I got worried about really was not that big of a problem.

I was reminded

That my worries won't go anywhere so I can put them down for a while and take a break from them sometimes.

How this story make me feel

I learned that our body builds up stress to the point where we can’t hold it anymore, but if we try to drop and fix things then a whole bunch of stress will go away.

The weight

The more you think about something (even little things) the worse they become and you spend more time think about them and just like holding the glass even though the thoughts are the same you begin to ache and feel the pain after a while of holding onto them.

Weight of water

I learned that the long I hold on to things such as stress the bigger they will seem.

stress

i noticed that i hold on to all my worries and my/ others problems. that’s what’s making me feel drained

I stressed a lot

I learned that you can't control the future or other situations. I always want to do things right and do a lot while I can. But I stressed a lot because I'm not accomplishing everything that I want to do.

I love this app

And I love this story !! 💞 it helps me so much. I can’t wait to listen to more stories they are calming . 👋💞

weight of stress

I pile things onto myself, I keep them to myself. It ruins me, sometimes it’s hard to hold on. The longer I keep things to myself and don’t tell someone how I feel, is the more I will hurt.

idk

i have heard this story before. i kind of forgot about it though. it helped me relax, but i am still not feeling all that great

Thoughts on the weight of water

I have learned that stress can impact so much. Starting small. Focus in school, home and sports. Then in sleep. And the worst, your relationships with friends and family. I think so much about the things stressing me out that it keeps me awake. Writing something simple like this, trying to find the best way to put my words stress me out. I am always stressed somehow. This makes me realize how important it is to stay calm and relax more often.

First session

Giving myself the time to put focus into one thing that may improve my mood, or allow me to address and then accept this thing or these things is almost a necessity, or I’ll get so caught up in my stressors that I can’t see anything else.

first meditation

the things that stress me are always in the back of my mind, whether i’m worrying about them at that moment or not. maybe it’s time to stop making assumptions and try to live a more carefree life. therefore, i won’t have to feel numb from the weight of the water anymore

I hold my glasses for too long

I struggle with letting stress go - it continues to build and build until I break. I need to attempt to learn to let things go.

Relatable

I felt like I was understood. Like someone would actually understand that I carry a lot of stress and pain with me, and that I should drop it or else I woll fall, like the glass of water

Monday :/

i learned that not getting enough sleep is emotionally and physically painful

weight of water

i learned that its important to let go of stress and worries

The truth

It opened my eyes to leave things that I’ve been carrying for too long.

the weight of water

this helped me to de-stress a little and to remember that it’s ok to tumble a little when i’m under pressure

weight

the more you think of something or certain situation the worse they get and you spend more of your time thinking about that something like holding the glass, the thoughts are the same and you feel ache and pain after hanging onto them.

Realize

I need to let go of personal fears and anxiety’s; understand them, but let them go and feel better about it

Stress

I learned that stress and worries can weigh you down after while.

weight of water

i learned that letting go is sometimes best for your own wellbeing

The weight of water

Holding on to yesterday’s stress can build up and become more painful just like a glass of water in your hand

Water weight

From listening to the audio I have learned that I do not need to hold onto grudges and I should not think about the feelings that pain me.

I learned

Sometimes it is better to say your feelings and hold them in even if you feel like they are so minor.

Glass of water is like stress

As stress builds up it is like holding a glass of water for a longer period of time. The longer you hold it, the harder it gets and eventually you will drop it. In knowing this, it is important to let go of my stresses in order to accept the inevitable and do what I can with it.

Weight of Water

This really helped me visualize my stress in a new way that I think will help me overcome it in the future.

Weight of water

I feel really inspired by this and the lesson that different levels of stress feel different to everyone and how long you hold that stress for, so if it gets tired to put it down and just let the stress go.

Let go

I learned that I just need to let go of my stress, let the days flow on by and let the puzzle piece fall into place. If I don’t let go it’ll just cause more problems then it needs to.

Mindfulness

I felt that the story really had a great lesson about keeping your mind open and not focusing on difficult things or burdens. If you do, the weight will increase and you’ll feel numb. But if you don’t, the weight will be taken away and you’ll feel refreshed.

Open mind

I felt that the story explained how to keep an open mind and how to use that in life

Letting go

In order to be ok you have it leadn how to let go of pass problems

W.O.W.

I learned that I keep thinking about my worries and stress it will only get worse and it won’t help so I need to try to let go of my worries so I don’t become numb

how i feel

even though today was my bday and i spent all day with people that love me, i felt lonely inside for almost the whole day faking smiles and i don’t know why exactly

Wow

I noticed that one thing doesn’t matter how big or small the longer you hold on and don’t let go the more stressed and anxious you can get.

i noticed

you need to let go of some things before it gets out of hand.

The story

At first it thought It was just gonna be music that they expected me to lay down for half an hour listening to and trying to relax while they instruct me but this was a lot more different that I thought it would be I hope there are more stories with music in this app bc I rilly liked that and I know I’m not use to a routine but I think I could get use to this ever night if I tried

The story!

I learned that its so toxic to dwell on anxiety causing things and stressors because itll get to be too much for me to handle just like the stressor. That doesnt mean im weak bc i could handle it when the weight was the same, it just means im putting it on myself too much

Good to hear!

I learned that I really do need to release my worries and not carry them.

Perspective

Holding on to thoughts and emotions without noticing and as a result no knowing what kind of weight you are carrying

Nice

I learned if I let go of my worries, my life would get a lot better

How heavy

I learned that if I hold on to thoughts I don’t like it can get heavy and hard to figure out what’s good for me

First session

I learned that this means it’s good to trust people and tell them about what is happening to you because the weight that will make your body numb won’t any more BC you have people to help you hold it up

Day 1

Motivational things work for me! I just need to make them work in reality

♾

I learned that it’s best to talk about your problems and never keep them in. Just like if you hold a cup of water for a day, it will ache and hurt. This compares to when you keep something in for so long. It’s best to let it go.

My comment

I felt very relaxed and the only thing I concentrated on was my body and the meditation

how i feel today

anxious, uncomfortable, very locked inside myself, claustrophobic almost. not feeling great at the moment really, feeling kind of bad.

Setting Healthy boundaries

I learned that setting healthy boundaries gives power and fuel my self esteem and self respect.

Lecture Hall

I feel the sensation of experiencing purpose in the lecture hall

Let go.

This took me back to last year. I was stressing hard, I was letting my depression get to me, and I was being stupid. Listening to this would have been good for me back then, but thinking about how I was able to finally put the glass down eventually makes me proud.

Weight of water

I have heard this story before, but this helped it sink into my brain a little bit more.

Weight of water

I felt really Well I’m not sure if that makes any sense.but then again I’m a person who really doesn’t get anything

Wow!!! This really helped me to

Realize that I can't keep holding these thoughts or feelings I need to let go

Water ways

I learned that I shouldn’t carry everything from one day to another or I will always be stressed and sad like I am now but I need to let things go like the water hurting your arm to hold it for too long.

Weight of water

I learned that I should let my baggage go and to just move on with my life and stop worrying about the past

Weight of Water

I learned that dreading and stressing all day will ultimately leave you incapable of doing any activities and we all need to let it go and work on our selfs and work to eliminate that stress before it’s to late.

1

The longer I entertain stress or anxiety the more of a effect it will have on me

Yay

Don’t hold on to your stress. Learn to let things go and just enjoy life.

Yay

I learned that never dwell on stress and anxiety because it will hinder you from achieving your goals

Weight of water

I learned that the more we hold onto our stress the worse it gets

Lesson

I learned that you need to rid the negativity, all the stress and obstruction in your life and things will start to look up. But if you constantly keep on with it all then it’ll only get worse.

First time mediating

I took a different perspective on stress. I never saw it like holding a cup of water for a period of time instead I saw and felt stress as pressure and weight. I feel more at ease. Seeing stress from a different perspective is powerful.

Intriguing

I learned that I can choose to put my worries & stress to the side. I never thought about it as a cup of water but I love the concept.

How I felt

I felt all the sudden peaceful as if meditating in a quiet outdoor place. It was super calm and peaceful. I loved the story. It was super true and it made sense. I loved it all in all.

I was holding on to the cup today

I learnt how to let go of my worries and burden in the moment

relaxation

j’ai appris que je pouvais mettre mon stress et mon anxiété de côté. très relaxant

Wow

My glass is really heavy and I’m starting to drop it. I need to practice putting it down and picking it back up

bath

i learned that i need to let things go and just enjoy my time

💕

So much is on my mind right now I learned that I need to let things go or else it will affect me it won’t matter in 5 years what happed so i need to not let it burned me

Weight of water

I learned that out problems will always be present and it is our responsibility to know what to hold on to and what not to. If holding on to a problem or worry is making life hard, I need to categorize it and set it aside for my own well being.

Thiughts

I learned that the more I think about what is stressing or bothering me, the heavier it burdens me. I need to learn to let go healthily.

Frame the perspective

Regardless of the mass of the water and holder, the duration of holding dictates the perceived mass and body burden. Let stuff you cannot control leave.

Good story

This made me realize a lot. It made me feel good because of the realize.

3/7/19

Don’t let things burden you for a long time. Take the time each day to deal with issues or realize they are not as worth worrying about as you might’ve thought, and try to leave the stress of each day in that day and not carry it with you to tomorrow. The longer you hold things with you, the heavier they will seem.

Stressing

It does not matter what you are stressing about it all depends on how long you are stressing it

Le 7 Mars

While taking my French test today learned that I should have studied harder instead of saying “I’m fine,” last night. But you know what? I cannot hold onto that, the only thing I can do is move and and study harder next time.

3/idk/19

when you are stressing over something and you stress about it all day it will ruin your day and you’ll just collapse. Next time just think about the good things and bring yourself up!

Aware

While hearing this opened my eyes to a lot of things. It made me aware that I do hold a lot of light weight on my heart to the point it does get heavy and I break down to the point I don’t want to live. Sad to say but true made me realize I need to let go of that light weight before it gets to heavy! Let go of yesterday’s stress because it’s a new day ! 💕

I liked this one

It isn’t healthy to hold on to things for a long time, important to take a break and unwind

Great

I learned that this is so true. It can also be applied to my life.

Weight of Water

I realize how powerful this is to me. I seem to carry the weight of others, and I never mean to. I want to make everyone else’s shoulders lighter while mine continue to get heavier. It’s hard to put that glass down. No matter how hard I hold it up for myself, and everyone else, I refuse to put it down. And it’s been like this for many years. I realize now that sometimes I need a break and need to set that glass down or my whole body will subside to the cramping and the pain.

Constantly holding on to things

I find myself always holding on to my stress, and the stress of others. I carry it for a long time, and sure, I might forget about it after some time. However, it always creeps back, causing me sadness and stress again, like I never truly forgot. Hopefully I can work to let things go.

Idk

I really didn’t understand it. I mean it sounded nice so I guess I’ll try to listen to it again and try to understand it better.

Weight of Water...

I learned that I am responsible for the weight of any burdens/stress (water) that I carry. The longer I hold it, the heavier it will get.There comes a time when I must LET GO!

Lemonwater

I had made two glasses of water with lemon juice. Prior to this session i had drank almost all of it and had been watching the walking dead. Day light savings today...i need to get off to bed so i think i will. Goodnight.

Hold on too much

I hold to my responsibilities too much because I feel like I might forget about them and mess up

Relationships

I learned that I need to fix the relationships I want/need the most and drop the relationships I don’t need/want

Positive practice

I learned I need to stop focusing on the bad and start looking at the positives before me.

Day 1

I keep burdening myself with heavy loads of stress especially with speeches. I’m realizing I need to sometimes let go and relax.

Distracted

I noticed during the reading that my mind was wandering and it was hard to focus.

Aching

I learned that it’s time to put down certain things that have been making me ache for a long while.

Letting go

It’s easy for me to worry about the future. But there’s no point in worrying over something I have no control over. I have to let go and wait for the results. And then move forward when I’m able to. Easier said than done. But I have to remind myself to put the glass done every so often.

Nothing

something

i didn’t learn anything but felt that i was safe and calm and i felt terrible but now im way better

March 11th

I learned that the longer you hold on to your thoughts and worries the heavier they feel. if we learn to let them go then they won’t be as heavy anymore.

Unknown

I’m completely oblivious to my own feelings; I don’t feel anything I can’t even show my inner feelings because I’m afraid it’ll effect the people around me. I get tired of acting as a human when I don’t even feel like one. I want to know how to care for myself as much as the ones I love. I put on a face everyday just so that I don’t have to bring worry upon my friends. They ask me are you ok and I just say yea and because I’m use to the whole “toughen up “ thing and it’s been a motto my whole life-I’ve grown accustom to it.

I learned

That stress can weigh you down over time and it’s ok to remove the things that cause that stress

I learned ...

I learned that sometimes we have to let go cuz the more we hold it the more we will get hurt

Drop It

If you can’t drop those little stresses your days will be long and terrible. Stop acting like you can’t move past them. You can and you will from now on, because it’s not worth all the pain. The reward is feeling amazing.

Weight of water

I realized, as long as I hold onto that that brings me stress, it distracts me from finding solutions. The move I clinge to the problems and issues at hand the less I have to solve them. It's not to say that I do not acknowledge them, yet to not dwell more than needed. Be aware indeed and acknowledge the stressful situations, and then pursue results, change, and resolutions for it.

Letting go

I learned that even if you want something that you think is what you want or even need that if you can’t get it or have it’s better to move on than to “hold on to the glass” and wait for something that may never come because who knows you find something even better out there in the vast world we call earth

reflection: the weight of water

it is my choice what stresses i let into my life. i choose to be happy and make things work the way i want them to. i will follow my values of integrity, servanthood, innovation, and hard work. i will not let trivial matters weigh me down, for i know they will not matter. the universe does not punish failures and wrong decisions the way we may think it does. over time, our decisions and what happens to us will even out; we will end up where we are meant to be. today, i choose to be happy, healthy, and at peace - at peace with my body, my self-worth, my abilities, my situation, my successes, my failures, my world.

Let go of my worries

It inspired me to let go of my worries and to see what the outcome will be, if I just let go and breath in to the outcome.

Don’t hold on to unnecessary stress

The stress or anxiety will never changed what will changed is the weight that it would hold your soul and mind. The longer you hold it the painful it would be

how i feel

i want to consider not to stress to much over things and i should just leave it before it gets harder or “heavier”

I’m very stressed in many things

you need to breath and understand everything is going to work out

Weight of my heart

I carry a constant ache in my chest. It never seems to stop, like my body doesn’t want me to forget this dreadful pain I get from within. Losing someone so close to you creates this internal weight of sadness that I can’t even begin to describe. I want this to end, I don’t want it to return, i need it to never exist again...

This is a good book and it helps you sleep very well

It's helps sleeping, I have very bad axeorphoina and this helped it so much

Let go

I’m learning to let go of all the stress. It will get better. It always does. I just can’t stop thinking at night time. My mind races and I need to remind myself that I can not hold on to stresses.

Best One

I learned how to view stress like a glass of water. I don’t need to carry it all day, I can just settle it down. This session has been the best one thus far.

Letting go

I need to put my stresses down for awhile or I will go numb and be unable to cope

Learn to let Go

I learned how important it is to let go... every day again and again. It showed me how heavy my glass of water was , how long i already hold it up. But now i know how to handle my worries and stress

13/3/19

I leaned that if I let stress take over my life then I’m going to regret the long term effects a small problem can have , so you should just let it go or resolve the issue so u can be clear and concentrate on important things.

How I felt

Well before I started I felt upset with my life like I don’t mean anything an I shouldn’t be here but the more i opened my ears and listened to this I realized that it was the stress from holding everything in an not telling anyone about it

Very calming

Put the cup of stress down it’s ok you will love love pray and die accept this

Relaxed

It’s good to let go sometimes Our stress levels are constant but how we manage them are what causes variations

The World keeps on turning

I need to let some things go, I can’t just sit around and think about the same problem over and over. The world will keep turning

It’s important to remember thing you need to worry about but not hold on to them

It felt nice

It was good to hear that, I needed that. Warm message to everyone whose struggles with their stress everyday.

Control

I’ve been reminded that I can control the weight I carry and that I need to put the glass down

I felt like a so much weight got out of me

I learned that everything is fine and I shouldn’t worry about anything

Don’t hold on🗣

The thing I learned from this session was that we should not hold onto anything which might even harm us a lil bit. Be it a grudge against someone, fear of doing something, stress, anxiety.. Let go of it, doesn’t matter how big you are/how able you are. The longer you hold onto these things, the more this “lil bit” will harm you, the weight of it will remain the same but the harm it will cause will keep on increasing..

I felt that I could let go of my stress for a moment in time.

I have learnt that you can go anywhere you put your mind to.

Let it go!

Let go all of the negativities. It doesnt help us! Just move on and appreciate life!

Anxiety

I need something to help with anxiety, on Apple store everything cost money, through google everything is free, I would rather use google !!!

Sb worries

I learned that I need to let go of what happened, and move forward from it because holding on to those memories will not help me.

Depression

I learned that I gotta move on from the past and look ahead toward my future

Memories

I have held onto painful experiences for years now. I let my mind relive them; causing stress and heartache. Reliving these traumas only makes me weaker. It makes me feel unable to trust the ones in my life who I love, and who love me. It makes it hard for me to love myself fully. The glasses of these experiences must be put down. I must let go. I always come back around to ask “how do you fully let go?” I will learn. And I will do. Lovely meditation thank you 🧘‍♀️

day 1

i learned it is time to let go. i have heard that an unbelievable amount recently. i think i am getting ready to finally let go. this will be good for me.

Let it go

I didn’t realize how heavy I felt or how long I’ve been thinking about certain stressful problems. I just need to let. It. Go.

Down

I’m going to sleep in the middle of the afternoon out of exhaustion because I go to sleep really late. Sometimes I go to sleep because I literally have nothing to do. I feel like I’m not doing anything so it just causes me to become even downer. I wanna do something I don’t know what but it needs to come soon

Day 1

Brenon was always like this, it just took me a while to realize it.

What I learned

I learned that I shouldn’t waste my life by worrying and stressing. Life is to short for that

day 1

i feel stressed, overwhelmed and not settled. caring yesterdays problems into today’s, along. with tomorrow.

I learned

I learned that holding onto emotions that are negative will effect me in a long term perspective. Forgive and forget to live a prosperous life.

Day one

Don’t hold on to stress. Manifest your own emotions and don’t hold onto everything for too long.

I felt like I needed to hear some of this stuff that I already knew along

It's important not to let yesterday's stress enter a new day

Don’t remain stressed

I learned that you shouldn’t overthink the things in your life that are causing you stress.

Grate

I learned that you have to let go of all the stress in your head and have the best day that you can have. This was very good and it helped start my day.

Let go

To give feel better you must let go and allow yourself to feel the difference

Internalisation

I learned that I am one of those people that carries states around with me during the day habitually. I learned that I should begin to let go of the things that worry me and train myself to not think so much about them.

self motivation

i noticed that you have to want to keep the stressful worries and negative thoughts out of your head. there are many things that can help you get there but you have to want to get there

Realization

I learned that the only person holding me back from going forward is me. I need to be fully committed to my life and stop holding myself back.

I’m the one holding back

I can be so much better then I am today by letting go of the past and looking to the future.

it made a little change, thank you

I need to let go of what poisoning my mind and body, I can't believe I have been dealing with it for 19 days and it ruined my birthday today

After Listening

I learnt that I need to realise how holding my feeling can carry me down unconsciously and how I need to try and focus to let them all out once I feel them getting to me.

Water

Stress is like a holding a glass of water, the longer you hold onto it, the heavier it gets.

Made me think

I didn’t learn much but made me think About how to look at my situation differently

Glass Worries

I learned that the only thing I need to do in order to free myself is let the glass go and put it down. That glass is very symbolic of paralyzing thoughts and feelings that I have, but they affect me more the longer I hold onto them.

Wow

I need to let stress go. It’s honestly all in my head the longer I hold on to it the longer I stress

Weight of water

It’s incomplete. You can’t just set down your stress and forget about it. You have to actively make causes to break through your negative tendencies.

Weight of Water

I learned that our stress is like a glass of water. The longer we hold onto it, the heavier it will seem to us.

I’ve learned that sometimes stress can be the same but we just hold on for too.

I’ve recently learned that holding on to something that holding you back won’t do you any good, it’s just going to waste your energy. Listening to this metaphor makes realize that sometimes it’s ok to let go. We can’t handle everything, at-least not alone.

Good story!

It’s very important to let stress go, otherwise life will become heavy and numbing.

Letting go

While watching this video I felt as if I were being told this sooner I would’ve had a more positive life or be more happy than I am now so this opened my eyes emotionally and I’m happy that it did. Letting go, forgiveness is all part of life but the real question is when will you take action?

Perfect relation

I’m going through something that relates perfectly to this story atm. A few days ago I did something I wasn’t supposed to at work and my supervisor had to have a talk to me and I literally can’t get her words out of my head and it’s driving me crazy. Idk I’m not gonna go into it but at least I still have my job so I should just let it go.

Let go

The longer you hold something in the more of a toll it takes on you and your mental state. Let go of the past

3/24/19

I want to not focus on my worries all day, and think about positive things

Got to let go to maintain positivity

Aura keeping it 100 . Although drugs help to forget about all negativity sometimes

First time

Allowing myself to try this felt good. 3 minutes is worth it

First day (25 March) I felt relaxed and calm

You have to take some time to forget about the issues and the stress and “put down the glass”.

march 25tj

learn to let go some of the burdens you carry are not worth the time and energy you waste thinking about them they will only cause you more stress and pain

Wow.

I learned that I am holding on to SO MUCH! I just need to let go. Things that are as light as WATER shouldn’t be keeping me from living my life just because I’m choice get to hold them. I’ve gotta let them go so I can continue to use my limbs to carry things that I need.

Burden and stress

Never take too much burden of what’s stressing you rather let it go otherwise it will be more stressful and painful

Relief

I’ve been super stressed about school, my dating life, my family life and just life and general, but the words here were inspiring and the sound was calming, now I really try to make an effort to put things behind me

Nothing

Sometimes I need to relax and not do anything. That way I recharge my mind, my senses and my drive...

stress relief

I've been having a terrible few days now and to hear this has made me realize that I need to take a break from it all to put it aside. to stop worrying about it

The Water Analogy

The water analogy showed the true impact that stress can have on the mind and really put into perspective the effects of holding onto a thought for too long. It is very useful given that I have numerous exams coming up and a driving test.

-calm

-I learned that water can be meaningful.! If yhu take the time to actually notice its value and observe it its one of the greatest things on eart.!

Weight of the world

I learned that some stresses are brought upon ourselves in the sense that we have the power to set them aside and even to let them go entirely. Choose your battles and a great plot twist to the typical half full or half empty glass.

Made me think a lot

I wasn’t really expecting this story to be any good but I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like this reflection relates and connects to a lot of people’s perspectives and experiences.

The story

I realised the meaning behind it, the story itself helped me a little on dealing with stress and taught me not to dwell on a thought.

It really doesn’t matter

I felt that no matter what we go through it’s really not that big of a deal until we start holding on to it for hours and days at a time and that’s when it starts to become heavy and hard to deal with. In conclusion just let it go!

It depends how long you hold it

Maybe there are some glasses of water in my life that I simply need to put down

Put the glass down. But how???

Yes I know I need to let the stress go and not carry it. But how do I do that?

Attention all depressed people

I feel like the only non depressed person on this app no offense I just downloaded it bc I saw it on Instagram

03.29.2019/14h15

Anything you carry around for a while starts to weigh down on you gradually. You don't acknowledge it until you feel the stress it is brings on you. It feels like a heavy backpack with so much stuff in it; some of it is stuff you need, some of it is garbage you saved up and need to throw out, and a very small percentage of it is stuff that doesn't even belong to you. Carry less baggage and don't let it get to a point where cleaning it out is too overwhelming.

Thoughts

This made me think about my emotions and about letting go but also if I don’t there is gonna be consequences

The Truth

I learned that people’s stress and anxiety is weighing them down and keeping them back from really living their lives. This made me really think, do we need stress and anxiety or are we just imaginin

Stress

I learned that stress and anxiety are weighing people down from really living our lives. We need to stop this stress and anxiety from messing with us.

Open mindedness

I really felt a connection to this piece, I’ve never looked at things from that perspective

It’s....

Wow I’m surprised more than anything we’ll also I felt that like that just opened my eyes because I got so much stuff going on on my head that we totally hold that cup of water even if you don’t want to or don’t even notice

i felt as if this made a lot of sense and helped me realize that sometimes you just need to relax

i need to calm myself down to stress less and even if all the weight in the world comes down on me then i can just drop it and i will feel so much better <3

how i feel

i learned that if you hold all your stress in, you’ll get paranoid and worried and soon to want to hold that glass forever.

Felt

I felt that I needed to stop carrying so many things. The heaviness only brings me to become tired and without energy to do anything.

I felt that

I felt like I could relate and lift this heavy burden that I couldn’t before

I learned that

It is important to not carry over all those burdens from another day, but to not keep it in where it hurts more than before

I learned that..

I learned that holding all that weight makes you numb, holding so the stress and anxiety makes you numb, and I learned that I need to be free, and let myself feel good all the time!

Feelings

I learned that I shouldn’t bring the stress from today into tomorrow.

4/8/2019

I learned that thinking about future goals make me feel better and less anxious.

I felt more relaxed, but still wish I was less tight and more of letting go of things.

I learned when I wake up and still have the stress of yesterday that it would be that time to put the glass down because if you don’t then nothing will change.

Work in Progress

This is a great perspective and sound advice, although I struggle with how to actually do it. Releasing years of anxiety, worry and regret is not as easy as simply “letting go” or putting down a glass. I am working towards this and hope to find the answer some day. How? I will keep going.

i hate it

The Weight

Burdens and responsibilities, no matter how light, can weight on me. It good to take a few minutes each day to release from them. Namaste

Weight of Water

I learned that we must not hold on to the worries or fears of yesterday’s problems. We just let them go! Do not let stress or worry eat you up and do not let it linger in you for a long time feel it and deal with it for a while and then release it.. holding on to it for a long time only hurts us and effects our body and our health. It does nothing good for us. Just like the metaphor with the glass of water and how much it weighed. If you hold it for a short amount of time it’s light but if you hold it for a day or weeks you will become numb and ache. Your hand will be tired.. the same goes for us in life with stress and worry. They are inevitable but it’s all how we deal and cope with it. This was such a great mediation. Such a great reminder for me 🧘🏼‍♀️

Gravity

We weren’t meant to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, the weight of the worries in our life or the life of someone else. Each day and even each hour, we need to let go of those burdens, humbly giving them over to the one who can bear the weight. Today I realize how I am carrying a great deal of tension physically because of relational stress in my life. And that I need to let it all go. Otherwise the weight will become so great that it forces me to drop the glass.

Weight of Water

Great story and lesson...extremely relatable. This is imagery that I will remember through out the day.🙏🏻

Weight of the Water

This exercise was really good for the human spirit and soul. It was peaceful.

Letting go

I learned that I should not stress myself out over things & not put so much pressure within myself.. just breathe a little & everything will be alright

I'm energized and calm

Look at my shoulder and discard those that are no longer age appropriate

Weight of water

I need to let go!!! Not carry all the worries I have make sure that I realize that if I hold on to them I will ache but if I never let go then I’ll never heal

stress

I learned that I need to let go of things that stress me and continue to move forward. no I should haves. only I wills

Weight of water

I learned that the worries and stress need to be let go in order to move on and let things play out the way they need to in it’s given time. Weight of water was very relaxing and soothing

Moving forward

I need to release my thoughts before I can move past them. I need to let go of my worries and stress about the past and future to focus on the present.

Reminder

To let go of all my worries and stress once in awhile so that my brain doesn’t get too tired. Remember that the weight of the stress and worries doesn’t tend to change. What changes is our ability and strength to hold up these problems and stress. Sometimes the “glass” needs to be “set down” to give myself a break.

Thoughts

I felt very calm after this story.It was very relaxing. It made me feel more lighter if that makes sense.

Stress

i learned that you can’t hold something like a mistake or a stress forever because it will only make you unhappy. You have to move on and forget

Weight of water

By far my favorite yet. Gotta let go of things that don’t bring you peace

Thoughts?

Emotions can get heavy as you keep on thinking or holding them in over a long period of time. It’s better to let them go then to keep holding on to them. Because it weighs you down physically and emotional.

i felt..

i felt very calm listening to this story. it reached out to me on another level.

Stress

The issues I carry with me through the day should not be on my mind the next morning. I need to let them go when I get home.

I felt kinda good hearing that so thank you

It’s okay to have stress but you can’t have it for to long for it to make you feel bad

I felt stress free a little

I learned that you need to let that glass go and let all the worries be the water and put the glass down or you will get nun holding that glass all day all week even.

The Weight of my Stress

This was a lot better than I expected, I’m someone who holds on to stress, anxiety, anger, grudges for so long I never consider the weight that all bears down on me. Most days I’m exhausted or sore or just worn down. Given that stress can drastically affect you physically it’s probably the reason I’m so tired by the end of the day.

Feel

I felt very calm and less stress in my bodie and u hope that this will help me with stress

Weight

We come here naked so let’s leave this life with nothing extra but the love in our hearts

I learned

That we must let go of our worries and stress and start a fresh, new page

I realized,

I realized that I have to put my stress down before it weakens me to much and now I’m out enjoying myself

Stress

I learned not to carry my burdens of school and relationships with me

Stress/Anger

I learned to not hold on to my stress and anger cause the longer I do the heavier it will get

What I learned....

Is I can hold my stress or worries in life. I have to let them go.

Weight of water

Definitely needed that this morning, I feel extra heavy and this helped lighten me up a little in order to continue moving forward

How I feel

I feel like I can’t let go of something. Sometimes I bottle up every emotion I have, and when I talk about the way I feel I explode. I believe that I need to change the way I express my emotions. Maybe instead of bottling everything up inside, I should talk about the way I feel?

Stress

I learned if you are stressed think about good things in life.Some things are bad and some are good. Think about both.If you ever had a kid would you treat him/her bad or good staying married or divorce things change in life

Love for sight

I learned that you should always be non stressed or worried no matter what’s happening.

I learned :)

I learned that we need to take out old stresses and worries and put them away bc it’s not good for our body and mind

You

I don’t need to carry that stess and anxiety all day, let it go

Today i was singing with a friend...

I learned that: You dont have to be afraid of being less opposite youre friend! Youre awesome as you are :)

I felt really sleepy and really stressed

I learned that I have to let go of things that weigh on me and cause me to have anxiety and stress

I felt really sleepy and really stressed

I learned that I have to let go of things that weigh on me and cause me to have anxiety and stress

Water

I felt encouraged when considering the water metaphor. It reminded me that we choose to carry stress with us and we have the power to “pit things down” when we need to.

I learned

I learned that I don’t need to keep anything on my mind I just need to focus on them when there happening

I learned

I learned that it solely depends on you. You have the power to cast it away it all depends on you.

Stress and Anxiety

I learned that, much like the glass, my stress and my anxiety will only start to feel heavy if I hold on to them. It’s best to let go of my stress and anxiety, and not let them be a heavy burden.

Weight of water

I learned that even if there is stress on you when you wake up because of the day before,all you have to do is just let it go.

I feel

More tired Good about meh self And like the world is so much more different then we think it is

Weight of water

I learned that if you pretend to hold the water you can feel it

I felt..

I need to learn about how heavy my glass is and make sure not to carry it up and become numb

How my depression went away for a while

I listened to the story and then felt calm and learned that all I needed to cure my depression was this app .

How I felt

I learned that, holding onto the things that stresses me out can lead to a lot of mental health issues and can cause to be distant sometimes. Not just with people but be distant yourself. And life is too short to have negative feelings and thoughts.

Emotion, doc 1.

My realization that the one person I can say that I’ve truly loved differently, and still do, must potentially be let go. I feel as if my mental maturity has grown beyond hers, but not in the sense that she isn’t mature. She is. She is possibly the most mature person I know. But I believe that I hold a love for her that she’s never felt for me and never will. It’s something I must accept, but I feel broken leaving behind someone I consider my soulmate and greatest person I’ve ever known.

My lesson

I learned that I hold onto thoughts that bring my moods down for too long. It consumes me and consumes the people around me who pick up on my energy. I will focus on positive thoughts and won’t dwell too much into negativity and pessimism.

Very relaxing

I felt laying down while listening to this story made me feel way better and made me feel comfortable with everything. I learned that if I just let my worries go I’d be stress free or not as stressed. Thank you.

The ladies voice alone relaxed me, what she said was like a blanket.

I learned that it's ok to feel the weight of the world, just know it isn't yours to carry.

Interested

My everyday stresses need to be set aside so I can unwind and heal

“Put it down”

I learned it’s okay to feel the stress, just make sure we put them down before they become too heavy, no matter the original size.

Learned

I understand that I am not the only one that is stressed and ill not be the last. Stressing is normal for people.

4/30

I felt bad today because I was sick, but more towards the end of the day I felt more stressed and anxious. Then I listened to the weight of water now I feel okay.

Let it go

It’s okay to stress, just let it go when it’s time. It’s the only way to heal.

I feel trapped

I learned to relax in someone’s voice, not always be afraid to sleep, because I’ll be unarmed

Lovely

It makes total sense. I love it. We all need little reminders like this. :)

Day 1

Not every story can apply to my particular stress. But it’s peaceful to just think about the stress that I can just drop. What’s on my mind is my health. Can’t put the glass down.

Day 1

Not every story can apply to my particular stress. But it’s peaceful to just think about the stress that I can just drop. What’s on my mind is my health. Can’t put the glass down.

weight of water

i learned to look at something from a different prespective

Weight of water

I found this very relatable- especially recently. I will definitely put the glass down a lot more now 😊 very helpful!

Weight of Water

I related to this story a lot. It made me see my problems in a different way.

5/2/19

I learned that if you keep all of the stress and anger in you grasp, you’ll end up breaking down. For example, with the water and the glass, if you hold it for... a day your arm will cramp up causing you to drop it. So I need to learn to take small physical of mental breaks throughout the day so I don’t have a mental breakdown. I feel very relaxed now that I listened to that recording. Extra tip: when writing don’t think about grammar or spelling, just jot down what you learned or how you feel.

A great story

I learned that just because your feelings are very weak, you can overcome them by thinking about them.

Reflection

This story is so true and is relevant to my constant struggle of not learning how to let things go.

Why do people change their minds

I learned that people change their mind for a number of reasons. Whether you want them to or not. For a short period or long period. It depends on the change, decision making as a human can be so hard at times but if you have the right people around you, there’s always going to be a good day or a good moment. But the thing about moments is, you’ll miss them, they’ll walk right by you, if you keep chasing after the next one.

Thoughts

I was just laying down. Relaxing and listening to the voice talking. It made me calm and made me think about the weight of the glass.

Relaxed..

The sounds in the background were amazing and the story made me think” what’s my glass of what I’m holding?”

Mindlful

I learned that I shouldn’t put my mind to the stressful things to much.It can get frustrating and make me feel so uneasy and stressed.So I learned I shouldn’t put the “Weight of the Water” on myself to much the size of the cup or how much is inside the cup.

After the meditation story

I noticed that before the story I felt a little down , heavy with emotion but afterwards I felt lighter and better a little happy almost

Clarity

I learned that all of my worries and doubts about what the future holds is what’s preventing me from being able to live my life to the fullest. I felt that I am weighing myself down by worrying about things that I shouldn’t be worrying about, and that I need to take it one day at a time.

Letting go

You need to let things go or else there always gonna be nagging you and you’ll never be at peace

Putting the glass down

I learned that I need to forget about him. He does me no good. We are not meant for each other and that was known a long time ago. But I kept holding on,fighting. But it didn’t work,It did worse. It broke me even more. I should focus on who really wants me and who will treat me right. One that I will be happy living the rest of my life with. Or maybe it’s to soon to think about this. I need to find the right moment. All I need to focus on right now, is putting down that glass.

Day 1

This really helped with what I need to get over, put down the glass and continue my day.

Stress

I learned that stress is something that is always around but depending on if you hold it or not will depend on how it affects you. The longer you hold onto it the more pain.

Weight of water

Our anxiety and stress is a lot like holding water. If we keep holding it, it will get heavy and our body will cramp up. We have to put it down. I don’t feel I have a lot of anxiety or stress but I do have like stress with my business when it does not go right, or I’m late and maybe it’s important I get there on time. Ashleigh takes on stress mostly with money cause it’s not being fixed right away. I don’t hold that stress unless she picks at it. I guess I know money has an opportunity to be fixed. I like the message a lot and probably will chew on that for a bit.

I thot it tot a lessen

I learned that the way of water And now I feel relaxed And I feel good and so does my granny I feel good and I loved the story.

Let things go.

After a while of holding onto burdens or worries or even troubles you will begin to stress.
