Living or Existing?

Many women aren’t living-they are just existing. This is a form of self-abuse. Women often wear their exhaustion as a badge of honor. The more you do for your loved ones, the more acceptable it becomes to “let yourself go.” Women believe it’s okay to become a “sacrificial lamb” within their own families. After taking care of everyone else, they are always putting themselves last on the list, and often have very little left to give. We need to wake up! The challenge for women is that they must re-language what it means to be a wife and mother. Being a good wife and mother means that if you don’t take care of yourself, in the long run you are ultimately harming all the other people you love in your life. You won’t be the only one who takes the hit. True, women do not realize their own capacity to conquer anything under the sky. Most woman under estimate their own powers to excel, some of them place themselves behind a wall creating limitations for themselves, in the name of the culture and society. Today woman is also the breadwinner like her male counter part. Yet the challenges she faces are much more as she has to deal with her home, family and work. Its not that self sacrifice is wrong,it has to be whole hearted and must be out of love and compassion rather than out of sheer compulsion . to achieve this she has to love her own self first. Today many woman live with self hatred and depression thinking there’s no one to care for them and that they are fit for nothing. Unable to cope up or balance with her multi tasking she becomes frustrated and depressed. House wife’s or home makers are the most effected as they have to cope up with the long lonely hours at home till her hubby and children return. Instead of just watching TV and engaging in small talk or just sleeping we can make use of our free time in a number of ways which will benefit both us and the society we live in. so what can be the solution?(will continue).
