when lockdown changed one's life - story

When lockdown changed one's life 

Every housewife thinks that she is  doing the most important job of world, taking care of her children and running a home .No doubt ,this job takes an awful lot of time and efforts . This job provides no time to pursue any outside interest.
But, raising a family is n't a life time job and after the mother is finished raising her family, can't run out of reasons for existence.Otherwise She ais likely to become a burden to her child and family......ISN"T IT ?

Himani was my classmate .We did Bechlore degree in Human psychology together .She was socially active ,dedicated stay  home mother of two kids .
During lockdown, when Himani suddenly faced problem of getting things done herself ,she began to make more efficient use of her time . She realised, that earlier she used to spend a lot of time fussing around with little things that are not important at all and there is no harm in her beginning to think what her main interest's going to be after her children are raised and are able to take care of themselves.

If anyone told her ,few weeks ago, that she could spend 9-10 hours a week on outside interest and still run a home , she'd have told him that he is crazy. But that's exactly  what she was planning to do now. This lockdown gave her enough time to realise that it is  neccessary for her ,to get some relief and some change of pace ,through some kind of 'other interest' whether she get paid for it or not.

Himani got herself a notebook and put her desires into writing in terms of money , love , ego food and health:

(1) Money:Since money was not a problem with her ,she would be satisfied if she could just make a little "extra".
(2) Love : She already have love of her husband and two kids . The important thing is to continue to  cultivate that love . To choose some" outside interest" that won't interfare with the time She should spend on  family .
(3)Ego food : As a housewife ,she get ego food from raising a family and making a good home .She can get additional ego food from three options :
* working at part time job
*pursuing favorite  hobbies
* Taking an active interest in various community activities
(4) Health:She might feel better if she loose 15 Kgs by eating a little less and more healthy . If  she won't have time to think about few aches and pains , they won't bother her so much .

She arrived at her own personal defination of what she want .
Next day , she got herself enrolled for an on-  line course to become a life coach .
Today is the 26th day of lockdown and Himani is about to finish that course .After lockdown,we will have one trained life coach who will make many lives better.
This was indeed the positive impact of lockdown .
