Women Lines

It matters to me!

At times I find being a woman is not an easy job and definitely not to mention to be an Ideal women. I wonder where those ideal women resides who perform all roles of being a wife, a mother, an employee, a daughter and a DIL, sister, friend and so many not to mention , with perfection. Will really love to meet one if she really exists in today’s  complex world!

World in which we are living today is though a blessing for today’s women. I am not talking about women liberation , or equal right distribution for women in our society. I want to focus on the multitudes of spheres in one life where women has to focus and work upon. As technology is making our life easy we are having other constraints to manage our life in an orderly fashion. In whole world around women issues start from the talk about being financially independent, she studies hard, builds a space for herself in society and gets married and becomes responsible for the welfare of the new family she has entered.Then starts her life managing herself, her office, her husband, her family and going forward kids come in picture.

Its matter of justifying all roles together.As an ideal women she should be a great cook who can prepare awesome lunch boxes, dinner and snacks for the family. As an employee she should be giving her best performance in office, prepare all reports timely, prepare excellent presentations and above all reply to all her mails…..wink wink:)! As a DIL  she should be taking care of her in laws, respect them , follow all family rituals, fasts, attend all function and entertain all guests with perfection. As a mother she should be always playful, ready for arguments, should always listen to her kid  and spend quality time with him.Then as a friend she should spend take out time for her friend, go for outings, shopping, movie time, invite for dinners, and much more. And mind you all roles have to be delivered in 24 hrs duration.

Hey , I forgot to mention role of being herself. As an individual she should be spending time with herself, take care of her health, body, exercise, eat healthy food, watch her favourite shows and movie, meditate, go to spas and lots more.

Is this job easy?I wonder!

But I enjoy being women.There is so much to do. Let’s not focus on ideal clause for being a women then you wont be under stress and enjoy your womanhood more. Its all about time management which we learn slowly by practise. Its also about taking one step at a time and multitasking those steps together. Balancing can only be achieved with a calmer mind so every women on this earth should exercise and meditate to discover herself. Think of at least 15 mins my time in whole day schedule where u do something for just your own happiness and I think it can do wonders in any women life.

I strongly believe that any family’s happiness lies in the happiness if the lady of the house. If she is not happy, unwell, frustrated then side effects start appearing on whole family. If we love our family then we have to take care of ourselves and start trying to find ways  to make ourselves happy.

So cheer up my fellow women, don’t stress yourself to be an ideal women. Have a vision for yourself and multitask allyour roles with perfection!

Vacation time has always been fun and you never want to come out of it, and this was the reason for my long absence from the blogging world!

Work-life balance, kids, office, health, friends, whole year we go around with them planning, managing, discussing and carrying our duties and thus at times we get exhausted. Vacation comes as a blessing to us as it helps to rejuvenate every member of the family. Kids come out of their school world, parents come out of their work environment and grandparents also get a chance to have some fun outside their regular routine.This change fills them with fresh energy to face rest of the year with firmness.Thats’s why always enjoy your vacations and never let those moments go waste in life. Most of the time vacations are planned while keeping in mind the location of the place, may be you want to explore some new country or some new city. But besides this one place should always be their in your list which is the native place where you belong. That place should always be in the list as that place connects you th place of your origin. Where you can take your child and show his roots and cultural values.

This topic can never come in my mind if I would have been staying in India.But when we are far away from our country then we really miss the love and warmth of our near ones back home.Our kids are growing up in such an isolation that fills me with fear about their future that they won’t be aware of the love we got. That’s why its very important for them to visit their native place once a year so that they never feel alienated there.The charm of once native place is incomparable with some other place in world.Where ever you go in this world you will be alone only. Or you may have a circle of friends. But the love which your near and dear ones shower at you has no comparison in this whole world.

The point is to enjoy those precious moments. Don’t waste it in doing those tasks which are not relevant at that time. Prioritize having fun with near ones. Spend time with them and catch up with their life, plan big family outings together, play games together, and moreover do plan a party.

Vacation can be planned to a tourist destination also which you explore with your family. It can be a good time to spend some quality time with your kids and help them to gather knowledge about the new place. Where is the place located on map, what are special feature related to place like weather, food, people etc. You can explore tourist activities at that place with your kid which can give you some relaxing time together.

Romantic vacation is the other type which helps to create a special bonding between you and your partner and it has also to be planned periodically. Time passes off and you never realize that  you have missed some fun time together as a couple. Exploring new country together can really add value to your relationship in a better way as don’t be surprised to come to know the real funloving side of your partner(which is not reflected in routine life).

Start planning all types of vacation yearly. After all we have to make our life fill with happy memories!

MIGRAINE PAIN

Migraine is a debilitating condition characterized by moderate to severe headaches, and nausea, about 3 times more common in women than in men.

The typical migraine headache is unilateral pain (affecting one half of the head) and pulsating in nature, lasting from 4 to 72 hours; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), phonophobia (increased sensitivity to sound), and is aggravated by routine activity. Approximately one-third of people who suffer from migraine headaches perceive an aura—unusual visual, olfactory, or other sensory experiences that are a sign that the migraine will soon occur.

Q.How to control Migraine Pain following naturopathy ways?

Ketki:Migraine pain can be due to various factors. it can be hormonal changes that induce such changes especially prior to periods or one of the accompanying symptoms for severe PMS ( premenstrual syndrome). The other factors we need to consider for migraine pain can be due to skeletal issues or misalignment , which then requires some adjustment. It can be dehydration, food allergies, constipation , lack of sleep. So a Naturopath would look at various factors and rule them out before deciding the treatment approach through diet, supplements and herbs.

 Andre Maurois, French novelist and essayist, wrote, “A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short”

Do you agree with it! Well, ideally every couple should be talking to each other rather than talking at each other. But life is not that ideal my friends and every couple goes through up and downs of relationships where at times it’s challenging to come over few issues. I really find it interesting to observe how various couples interact with each other and how well they know about each other. When as a couple we are talking to each other then we are giving undivided attention to our partner. Reason for a proper communication is to remain connected to each other. When we communicate as a couple we have our feelings and thoughts heard and respected. Whenever any problem or issues arises then we can sort out through positive communication. In fact to reach out to solutions also we have to communicate properly so that we can reach an understanding of one another. 

There are few topics which are common between couples to always discuss like- weather, kids, jobs, money, health issues, friends etc. But effort should be made that always we are not talking about same issues everyday. Life will become monotonous, isn’t it?

1.Couples can plan about their future trips and vacations.

2.Share about some new thing you discovered throughout the day

3.Take out time to share about your childhood memories.

4.Share about things you would like to experience in life.

5.Have an interesting discussion ‘If you could?  Do you believe…..

What ever topic you  are taking up think out of box how to add spice to your relationship and how to make communication fun between you and your partner!
