How To Get Our Life Put Together?

I think many ladies maybe having similar feelings in this situation. The regular office environment and social interaction with colleagues and friends is very much needed for mental health. Sitting at home continuously gets monotonous. Watching good movies, listening to songs, ordering food from outside occasionally may help brong a refreshing change when one is unable to step out for outings or meet anyone.

 

I think a lof of people are feeling low because of the limited interaction but try to make the most out of it. You wont get this time back.

With regard to work-outs, try to fit in some exercise at home. If there is a staircase in your house or apartment, walk up and down a couple of times (as time permits). If you rather prefer going out, why don't you go for a walk with your husband early in the morning and make that a routine. Otherwise, there are plenty of Youtube-videos on how to work on your abs, back etc. These type of work-outs are easy to follow and 15-30 minutes a day is enough. Otherwise yoga, meditation or breathing excercises are also good if you want to calm yourself and stay focused.

With regard to your daughter's eating habit. I have seen some ladies cook separate meals for everyone in the household. That is a big no-no. You have to put your foot down and tell your daughter that if it is dal rice on the menu today, then that is what she has to eat.

 

Here are some tips which may help:

1. Set small and achievable targets...Like I will do 20 mnts of walking/yoga or zumba..never over commit .Always be clear about small and consistent achievable targets
2. With food as well, try starting with small habits which can be consistently done. Like I will must have two servings of veggies, one fruit, one bowl of nuts, drink 8 glasses of water everyday ..very small ones which doesnt need much effort from your end.
3. Please step out for a evening walk to socialise...Socialise with fellow mummies , plan for small play dates to start from your end.
4. With work as well just plan your work as per schedule and try to stick to your schedule..dont get distracted
5. Indulge in self care..like home face pack one day, nice relaxed oil bath one day..


Along with this take a selfie of yourself everyday...when you are consistent with above you can see the result on your face..positive changes on your face

On picky eaters..please lemme know if you find a solution..my kids also same problem

 

@Srinidhi007,

The discipline you are seeking is nothing but healthy thoughts. If you are feeling constantly you miss something in life, you need to change your lifestyle. Everyone's life is not filled with excitement and one has to find excitement in what they encounter everyday. Anything you do, begin to love those actions. Don't give up if your daughter is picky about healthy food. Change around interesting food that would have a perfect composition of carb, protein and fiber and slowly her eating habit will change. Regarding exercising, don't try to reserve it for morning or evening and try to spread it throughout the day. Since you work from home, you can probably take a clean break for 15 minutes and exercise anytime of the day. Don't depend on elders at home to look after your child and always assume that as not available. Review your past childhood life and see what are things that excited you. Write a journal of what would make your life back on track. It is more of a mental adjustment. Life is filled with a lot of duties and responsibilities and only by liking what you do, your life will be back in order. Fill your entire day with a little breaks that would allow you to do something interesting including a hobby. Fill your weekends with a lot of exciting actions with your husband and daughter. Before you know it, your daughter would be grown up and ready to move away from you and don't miss this chance to spend as much time as possible. Good luck.

 

One has to be flexible and adaptive to any situation.We cannot always depend our happiness on social network,friends and environment all the time.Peace should begin from within.Knowing what we want and working towards what we really want and is good for our family is the first step.Also,one can be perfectly happy with limited interaction and at home too.I personally find it very draining to be around people all the time and at the same time One can be happy as extrovert and lot of them are that way.It is just a social mental conditioning that we are adhered too.Accepting Our needs and accepting our situations and finding the best life in that will keep mind calm and life put together.Happiness is different for each individual.
