Housewives don’t be desperate, be prosperous!

In case if you are wondering this article is not about NBC’s show desperate housewives. Though I must confess I do enjoy watching it. But this article is about something else entirely. I have met many stay at home mothers and housewives who are depressed, they feel stressed out and unappreciated. This article will show them the way to hope, happiness and prosperity.

First thing which I want to say to all wonderful mothers out there, is that your job is an extremely challenging one. You are raising men and women of tomorrow. You are shaping up our future. What you do is in no way less important then what your spouse does for a living. You are both working towards a common goal that is the good of your family.

In a recent study of 4,000 housewives it was found that if you sum up all the jobs that they do, it would cost £30,000 to pay professionals to do the same tasks. Furthermore the research says that average stay at home mother spend 4.55 hrs every day looking after their kids, 71 minutes cleaning the house, 63 minutes in the kitchen, 39 minutes running the family finances, 28 minutes washing up, 23 minutes in the car and 18 minutes shopping. Two thirds of the mothers felt that their work went unrewarded and unnoticed.

Don’t misunderstand me I am not saying that you should go and demand pay for what you do. I merely want you to understand that your job is just as real as any other job. However you do what you do not because you have to but because you want and love to. When you are going about your day know and feel that what you are doing for your family matters. It matters a lot. It affects not only people in your home but also affects you. When you accomplish a task efficiently no matter how trivial it is, it advances you. As long as you notice how you are advancing and improving every day, you don’t need any one else to notice or praise you.

You are a wonderful wife and mother but remember in your life you come first, as Buddha said, “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection”. You have to take care of yourself first so that you can take care of your family. Every day even for a couple of minutes sit quietly and meditate. Always take some time to reflect and gain perspective. As often as you can manage it do something fun, something that make you happy. It could be reading a good book, watching a movie or getting a facial. Of course quality time with your partner is important too but it is essential that you learn to enjoy your own company.

If you want to contribute financially to your household then you can do that as well. You can work at home by building a website or maybe you have an idea of some other home based business. In my opinion even if you are financially well off, still you should do something which reflects your creativity. Something you are passionate about. It will give you a sense of accomplishment. You might say that you are not creative. That’s not true, every body has something which they can do better then others. Something they are enthusiastic about. Every one of us has a purpose. The problem is that most of us are so wrapped up in our lives that we don’t have time to discover it. Seek guidance from your higher self. ASK the universe or God what your aim in life is and you will receive the answer.

Remember when you truly desire something; you ALWAYS have within you the capability to do it, though you wouldn’t realize it at the time. Your personality is the outer facade of your soul or your higher self. Trust yourself always, if you don’t, ask yourself which self you don’t trust, your higher self is very strong and is never affected by negative opinions or comments of others. Think of the wonderful powers of your higher self. Let the “I am” within you manifest itself through your personality. There is always a way to solve every problem and overcome every difficulty and it is a delight for human soul to do so.

There is a law of attraction that will help you accomplish your purpose. When you want a desire to be fulfilled, form a clear mental picture of what you want and then concentrate on getting it. Have complete faith that you will get what you want. Don’t ever think that you will not be successful but picture what you want as already yours and yours it shall be. Be careful that you don’t become just a dreamer. You will not get out of a dull, monotonous and tiresome life by just wishing your self out of the rut. You must put the necessary effort forward while holding the mental attitude of success.

Never feel that you are being neglected or misunderstood. Never say that nobody appreciates you. Don’t ever feel sorry for your self. These are the thoughts of a failure. Be strong, hold up your head and face the world with courage. Remember you have a tremendous source of power within you, your inner strength. You can have abundance and you can have the life you want. Don’t depend on people or conditions to fulfill your desires; the only thing in the world you have to count upon is your self.
