More and more women are now taking center stage and carving their own niche in the business industry. Unlike before, women are now accepted and expected to perform well outside the confines of the home. More than just raising children and taking care of domestic chores, women are empowered to pursue their own dreams and prove themselves as being capable of succeeding in endeavors that were traditionally reserved for men. Today, many women are able to engage in various activities based on the career or lifestyle they choose. They are no longer “caged” in the house, consigned to wait for the husband’s arrival from work and to taking care of every need and want of their children. In almost every endeavor and discipline — in government, business, the academe, and other important fields of work — one can find women of stature and significance.
Still, even if it is quite unfair, women still do most of the work at home. Apart from their day job, they still face the challenge of balancing and fixing their schedule in order to accommodate the children and the husband, not to mention her relatives and friends. Aside from doing domestic chores, a career woman is also expected to attend her children’s school activities; do the laundry, clean the house, balance the family budget, do the marketing, and all other errands in between.
Technique:-Lay motionless on your back with the arms and legs slightly extended.-Start off by breathing deeply in counts of 5 that being in a ratio of 5:5:5 (inhalation-retention-exhalation) -After a few minutes of this, begin to make what is defined as auto suggestionsto the limbs starting from the toes by mentally affirming that “My toes are hereby relaxed, My feet are hereby relaxed” etc…working upwards to the head and internally through the internal organs.-After several minutes of this, resume the deep square breathing for about 2-3 minutes.-Next, begin to mentally chant this Yogic quote: “I am that pure consciousness or self” (You may substitute this with a verse from the books of your religious faith for example: “Those who wait upon God shall renew their strength” or any energizing quote for that matter like a simple “I am being relaxed and energized at this moment…”
-Continue mentally affirming this phrase for several minutes, then roll over to your right side and remain motionless while all the while maintaining the 5:5:5 breathing schedule for an additional minute.-Finally, arise from the position.
Still, there are simple ways for women to get relaxation without letting down their family or risking their career. Women can feel relaxed by finding comfort in religion or spirituality. By simply praying and asking for God’s help and guidance, this will somehow affect how women see things, and would make them somehow relieved from daily stress. Another approach to relaxation is for women is to try and forget grudges, and forgive those who have made mistakes. Studies have shown that having a forgiving attitude helps lower a woman’s blood pressure which is beneficial for their health. A peaceful bedtime habit will also lessen the feelings of stress. A good hot shower and a soothing bath scent will give relaxation in no time.
