‘Tis the Season to Remember

The December season is filled with joy, gratitude, and hopefulness. As with everything, there is also an opposite to these feelings of merriment. Challenges such as grief, concern, and loneliness also come up during this season. We do not need to repress these feelings just because this is a season of good tidings. Feelings come in waves, both joyous and challenging ones.

Understanding Stress with a Glass of Water

A lecture was given to help students conceptualize how they hold on to stress and how it can have a negative impact on them. The professor started by filling a glass with water and asking students how heavy it was. After a few guesses he paused and emphasized that it is not the weight of the glass that matters but how heavy it feels to our arm after a period of time. If we hold onto the glass of water for an extended period, say 4 hours, our arms will become weak and shaky. If we hold onto the glass for an entire day our arm is likely to go numb from the perceived weight and discomfort the glass has imposed on our arm. The same is true of how we hold on to stress.
