Homemakers are an important part of the community, and often need help navigating the challenges of life. That's where coaching comes in. This blog will explore why homemakers need coaching and how it can benefit them.
As a Life Coach, I
dedicate my first blog to female homemakers. I chose this segment because I
started my married life as one and know all the struggles that they go through,
especially in a joint family.
In today's
progressive society, many housewives are still struggling with an identity
crisis. I found out that in many cases, becoming a housewife was not even their
choice; it was imposed on them and they couldn't resist enough. After
marriage, a housewife usually gets busy taking care of their family. This is
what is expected of them, and it can be hard to find time for themselves. As a
result, they often end up cribbing and complaining about their present state.
There is a feeling of being trapped either by their early marriage,
unsuitable partners, family members with conservative mindsets, or excessive
workloads. Some blame their husband for not supporting them, and others blame their
parents-in-law for putting them through what they endured in their early marriages.
They just want to fly free, but instead, find themselves caged.
Despite working hard and making many sacrifices, women are often taken for granted and don't get the respect they deserve. When children or the man of the family achieves success, we often forget the contribution of the mother and wife who sacrificed their dreams to give them a comfortable environment.
They deserve
just as much credit for helping their loved ones succeed.
There are examples
where stay-at-home women can't even dress up wishfully or pursue their hobbies
because other family members are not willing to adjust to a slight change in
their routine. They are constantly reminded of how they are not good enough to
do something beyond the four walls of their home. As a result, they too start
to feel that they're not capable of anything more.
They feel
exhausted and burdened by their obligations, which leaves them little time or
energy to pursue their interests. In many cases, women even fall into
depression due to the lack of appreciation and excessive expectations
The decision to become a homemaker should not be looked down upon; rather, it is brave and bold.
Living in a family where one person is always expected to make all the adjustments and compromises can be difficult. Over time, everyone in the family gets used to this arrangement, and the woman often finds it more comfortable blaming others for her sufferings than standing up for herself. Having been deprived of social support, a housewife declares herself a victim.
Blaming
others for your misery and failures is an easy way to escape, but it doesn't
get you very far. Oftentimes, this is done by individuals who lack the courage
and confidence to stand up for themselves. However, they don't realize that
they are denying themselves a happier and more fulfilling life by doing so.
A homemaker is a
family's strongest pillar of support. While it is imperative to serve our
families, we also need to ensure we take care of ourselves. This is where
coaching comes into play.
Like everyone else,
homemakers can also improve their life situations with the help of a coach. A
coach can help homemakers set realistic goals and develop a plan to achieve
them. He or she can also provide moral support and encouragement when needed.
The myth is that
one needs a coach if he or she is sick or suffers from a mental disorder, so
they hesitate to reach out to one. Here's the deal: sickness is dealt with by
therapists and mental disorders by doctors and psychiatrists. By contrast,
coaching involves a healthy dialogue that leads to a specific and clearly
defined outcome.
The majority of women I know invest a fortune in making themselves appear good to the outer world while inside they are crumbling. Now is the time to invest in the other side.
Changing your destiny is entirely up to you-no one else can do it for you.
Put an end
to victimizing yourself.
Break down
the barriers that stand between you and your dream life.
Act now
before it's too late
