We all Need a break !!!


God made the universe and was exhausted and made Sunday for taking a break
Everyone needs a break, yes when I say everyone I am including the Mommies as well :) I am sure almost 80% of the working mums would be more exhausted over the weekend then they are during the week!!!

Why is that ?why is it that we are soooooo engrossed in the house hold chores ,the cleaning ,the mopping ,the groceries and if you have children you will try and squeeze in all the love and affection sessions for the weekend followed by making lunch and getting home work done etc etc the list is endless .


 .
We also need to take a break and a conscious break ,take time out for getting a spa done ,a pedicure for the sake of that chipped nail that has been staring at you thru the week ,grab a book ,soak in the sun ,enjoy your fav tea ,meet a friend ,the idea is to let go ...Relax and take time for our own selves .
 
All of us know that we are the centre pins of our house. Without the mommy of the house waking up to make milk or wake up the kids and pack them off to school NO ONE would reach school or office (I am also referring to the husband show are adopted kids who will NEVER grow up ).
I know of so many friends who have the first cup of tea when they pack everyone off to school and work .Let me ask you does anyone pack your lunch ,make your breakfast and fuss about ironing your clothes so that you reach office in time ,my guess is most us will say NO but then quickly give a justification with it ….”that oh the hubby has a meeting at 9 ,and the maid had to leave and so on “

When was the last time you took 30 mins out for a walk ,listen to your fav music and hum to it ,No we don’t do that we are very engaged to take any time out for ourselves in the 24 hrs long day .All of us need to step back and take a conscious decision to take a break ,It is very essential ,take a conscious break make a slot for ourselves to start with 30mins any time may be in the morning or evening or during the day to do something for our development .Be it reading ,walking ,getting a hair cut ,sipping coffee anything that gives us some pleasure and of course the rule is GUILT FREE .All this needs to be done keeping in mind that if we are doing well the family and the work and all other obligations will be fulfilled .So this is important .

Taking a break and enjoying it is important !!!

Working Women .......women who work .......traditionally women were home makers the main role was to take care of the house ,have children ,groom them ,and their lives were always revolving around the house ,Men were the bread winners and still are which meant that they get the money and the women bake the bread !!! Over the years things changed women started moving out of the house to work ,to pursue their dreams ,their ambitions ,so we became home makers and also bread winners and also bread makers !! When we moved out to follow our ambitions we were very happy in pursuing our dreams only to be jolted by reality of being a women who was also the bearer of a child and a care giver !! Almost all us remember the time when we got to know that we are expecting ,the glee which was quickly loaded with questions what will I do now,How will I work ? should I quit working ? what about morning sickness ? There are million questions that spring up in our heads about pregnancy and bab...

What is holding us back ??

We are all born equal boys and girls ,Our Parents send us to the same schools ,same set of toys and same nurturing ,how is it that we as girls and women start holding back and feeling different !less confident ,looking outside for acceptance ,thinking twice before acting ?what makes us hold back  Holding back questions in class thinking what if I am laughed at Holding back opportunities to travel  Holding back leading a group discussion What is it that holds us back ,It is not the environment for sure ,it is how we have programmed ourselves . This programming starts when we start comparing ourselves and conditioning our mind telling the mind that I am the weaker person ,I will need support of my family or a friend to lead my life ,Let us ask why when we are not lacking in any aspect as compared to a man ,We are all born with the same set of competencies but it is we who hold ourselves back . In my B school campus placement a very well know liquor company came on ...

I was meeting a few girls who are pursuing management and are getting prepared to march into the corporate world, they have ambitions and drive and want to make it big for themselves .The discussion was revolving around the huge expectation from Management graduates specially women .I am frequently asked this “What should we do “, how should we behave”, some specific skills that are required to be successful .I tried to put some pointers to it –                                                                         1.       Self-belief  – The key skill for being successful in any ventu...
