Unwind2be.com is about the stress we all experience in life, and more specifically about work-related stress which in severe cases can even lead to a burn-out. We all go through different phases of life during which we will experience different levels of stress. It regards recognizing when a state of unbalance is reached, and when the stress-level has become too much. It is about unwinding to beco
me healthier, more balanced, more energized and happier. I read once a short story (apologies for not remembering the source) about a professor who came into the classroom with a half-filled glass of water for an experiment. The students expected the question to be regarding the glass being perceived as a half full or half empty glass. Instead the professor asked: "how heavy is this glass?" The students answered varying between 50 until 300 grams. The professor responded that the actual weight of the glass was not relevant: "It depends how long I am holding it: If it is only one minute, it is not a problem. If I would be holding it for an hour, my arm will start to hurt. If it is prolonged for hours, my arm will start to feel numb. Stress and worries are like this glass of water. The longer you hold on to it, the heavier it becomes. Hence the importance of releasing and letting go, and doing this in time before it becomes too heavy. Unwind2be.com provides more information about stress; what stress is (including burn-out), and how it affects our wellbeing as well as what you can do to better cope with stress (for example through the method of TRE -- Tension and stress Release Excercises).
