I get up in the morning and prepare to get ready for food and i do cleaning, washing and cooking everything what i have to do. I rush to the job grab a book to read in the bus etc., Everyday i will be busy in the house and in the office. There is no time to relax myself only in the night when i go to bed. This is the tendency of the working women now a days. But forget to spend with the god, read the god's word, sit with the family members and share your good experience with your children. Tell something about the god. This will give us relaxation from our outside tensions and frustration. So i though to change myself to be change. What about you.

If you are really sincere to get in touch with god then you can do it even in your busy schedule.You don`t have to sit for hours to meditate.As you are doing your house work, cooking,washing, bathing, travelling etc just take the name of god which you like under your breath continuously.You can just repeat it or sing it with a tune that you like, chanting it continuously.Slowly you will find that the name of god starts automaticlly repeating without you chanting it.Once this happens you will get permanently connected to god.This is the highest type of meditation.In Hinduism the name of god is called a Mantra.It may just be a name or a string of words in the Sanskrit language which has the name of god in it.When you are occupied in something which requires thinking like reading or when you are on the computer it will stop but once you are free you will find the name repeating on its own.start doing this from today and see how your devotion to god increases daily.When you are going to bed it takes just a few minutes to think of god, to thank him for taking care of you.You may feel that you are far away from god but he is never far away from you.He is within you,in your heart.Speak to him in your heart.

Hi Jo,
I got mistaken with you. Till I ready your earlier discussion, I was under the impression that you are a boy. And all the discussions I talked to you were also was assuming that you are a boy, and I feel little ...., I hope I didn't talk to anything bad or in appropraiate. If I know that you were not a boy, I could have been still better (careful) on discussions, so that I could be just good in all terms.
Any way, now I come to know that you got job and is a working women also. Travel in bus, reading books and all such things are good. I also trave every day nearly 4 hrs. up and down and only one pray is that I could somehow able to enter into a train.
Yes, with regard to pray, I don't know for the last 1-2 years, I don't pray, and whenever I feel like praying, I just close my eyes and remember about my parents and that is all. I don't know why, but this is true. I found God in nature and whever I feel to see God, I will simply look out to the nature and relax.

Thank-s, I too thought that 'Jotomy' is a male when I saw the user name first time and I replied to posts carefully (I am taking bit more freedom with ladies here). But when I read other responses (of her)I realized my mistake very quickly and we become friends too.

Hi anna, i always call you anna because the respect i give you. Not only you many of our members are having this doubt. They are thinking me as a male. This place is like that whether male or female is not concerned with the discussion, discussion is important. I like useful and quality discussion, but i am very poor in English, i like to participate here much time but due to lack of grammar/English knowledge i will not not that active. But you know by reading others discussion and the responses also the comments by the members i learned a lot but yet to learn. Since English is not our mother tongue it is little bit difficult for me. I appreciate non English speaking members around the world are participating here and i see their English is really superb.
Have a nice day.

you're a woman..sorry for thinking that you're a guy..anyway in you're issue..you look complicated.i am sorry for saying this incredible word..but that's what it looks like.its complicated...you have to sleep early and wake up early.you have to rush anything you had in you're hectic schedule ..and i see the picture of you brushing you're hair while you're doing something in you're pc..and had you're phone over your ears explaining everything to your boss miserably..
so...if you really want to had those gods words..try tuning on to catholic religious aired on the radio or your pc..

..and they also preach for you're stressed souls..
you'll find serenity on it..

Hi Jotomy, life is more or less the same for all of us.It is the same old routine of waking up,cooking,cleaning going to work etc...In my case once I am back home I really look forward to three things One, gardening and spending time with my plants for at least a couple of hours each evening and Secondly, reading a few pages each day from the book I am currently reading and Finally ,spending a couple of hours on the net interacting with friends here and also writing articles or doing some research for it....that is enough excitement for me each day

Hi kiran, true, especially working women has same life and routine life. You have nice hobbies gardening and spending time with the plants which is good for the eyes. That is a little different world spending with the trees and plants. I like to gardening in the evening times so that i can watch birds back to their homes. I feel changing our day to day activities may give little spirit in life.
Have a nice day.

I need a lot of changes in my life, but I don't think that the reason that I need those changes is because of the fact that I have too much that is going on in my life. The reason that I need change is because of the fact that there have been a lot of bad things that have been happening in my life over the last several years.
With that said, I've been trying to make changes, but they seem to take a lot longer to take effect than I would like for them to take.

hi there,
you are right. because of being so busy we tend to forget about Him. even to just thank him for the day and all the blessing he showers upon us. you have actually just made me realize that right now.

Hi shwetat, yeah women has much work to do from the morning to the evening, if she has a good planning then it will be easier for her. But all the time doing work is not good, we must relax for sometime, if we sit with the god i think we get more relaxation. Spending with the kids and family members will be good thing.
Have a nice day.

Hello Jo,
The same story here too dear! Getting up early and doing the all works at home, sending kids to school then rushing to office. In evening, again the same routine then taking care of kid’s studies etc. To be very frank I don’t think I can change my lifestyle. But I do find out time to God. I sit with kids and pray God. They know how to chant the ‘slokas’ for each God and Goddess (In Hindus there is lots of Gods and Goddess).
Then how are you dear, we are meeting very rare these days. Hope you are doing good.

My days, also very busy. 03:30, I woke up, and began to busy with household chores. 04:15, should I have to worship. But, because of my job, I became miss worship. It's very unfortunate. I'm trying, to not miss worship. Though late, I'm trying to do worship.

Most people here doesn't wish to disclose their identity. But, once we are in a chain of discussions and the closeness to the topics, few of them would definitely become close frineds and even I have few people's contact nos. and we used to call and speak about 5-7 mts. in generatl. This is happend only because of the similarities among the people and nothing else.
Some of my known Tamil peopele here used to call me 'Anna' and all of them are boys (our news paper boy, the groceary boys and some others) all are younger to me and they used to call alwyas as Anna. Also, some girls, even elder to me also call the same. So, just a mind reading gone in such a way that you may be a boy when you talked last about your higher studies and looking for a job. You may be remembring that I have told you that complete your course and we can try a job in Mumbai, if required. All that was under the impression that you were a boy.
Good, you got a job and only I wish you know that how you look like - now it become an axiety and you alwys used to post the 'imaginary' and good looking avatars, which was initially attracted me to ask for the friend request.
Also, with regard to languge, even I am also from South India and not so well trained in English. But managing and all are happend with our daily practice. You also can be so higher level by writing and reading.
Regards
Thank-s

Telling about god has nothing to do with relaxation, esp. not if you tell your kids, then again it's work, it's teaching, it's about listening, answering questions.
I know what you mean, and yes this is life for many women nowadays but also it was in the past, since ages. Women have to be there 24 hours a day.
If you want a quality life for yourself you better make a scedule when to do what. I did the same, it also includes some time to read a book, a break, etc. I already learned my kids that there is a time they have to play themselves. There is a time called bedtime and even they can't sleep they stay in their bed(room).
In the beginning it wil be hard to live by your scedule but at a certain moment it will be habit and also be more relaxing.
Also ask yourself if all these things you do can't wait. Will the cleaning up run away? Are you able to cook 2 meals at one day and eat/warm up one the next day?
i think the most relaxing time and quality time one can have is spending time with you alone. To get yourself know and develop your spirit.

Hi wakupkitty, yeah we doesn't know when the day starts and when it is ending, whole the day will be working. I feel for a women 24 hours is not sufficient she must have little more hours to complete her work.
I will cook morning and evening, breakfast, lunch and dinner, here in India we must cook and eat i don't have habit of keeping food in the fridge and have later, and heating up the same food before having is not that advisable and i didn't like also. So i will cook fresh every meal.
Have a nice day.

I feel the same way and I think I made great changes to myself last year. Sometimes we get tired of the fast paced environment around us and find ourselves lacking the time to our family and even to our own life..Too bad this is happening to everyone now. Too much time is being spent in seeking for material needs and the quality time we spend to our loveones suffer.

Hi jobfindonline, now it become tough to spend with the family members for a working women, they may not be paying much attention to the family members because of the timings, tensions at work station etc., But we can still make our time convenient i believe morning hours or evening hours we can sit together and eat and have chat etc.,
Have a great day.

I think it is important the minute we get up to talk and read God words before everyting else in the morning,I keep reminding my children about it into put those good habits in practice everyday, myself too. About the relaxation part well I've learned that when I set my mind onto God's way of doing things and His word I'm at peace it helps to relax, I know it is very easy and often difficult to get to that point but God is the only one helping on those things because physically we are not suppose to have a pink life all the time, which I wouldn't mind . Are you working 7 days a week,or are you taking a day off to rest.

This continuous work and the same old schedule is bound to have its aftereffects. Take a break every month, at least! I don't live like this, I have no idea people manage to do the same thing over and over again for a long part of their life. I know everyone's trying hard to be successful, but think of it this way. If you spend so much trying to be successful, you won't have enough time to enjoy after you attain success! I learn to enjoy and make each day a memorable day! Every single day is unique and feels completely different from the others. Live your life like that and it will be a life well lived! :D

Hi Vvance, true everyone will try to work hard to be successful, in this connection some people will sacrifice many things. Some times they may not get time to look their health too. Yeah everyone will not have the same days, different people will have different. But we must enjoy and do otherwise we feel something disturbance.
Have a great day.

Yeah, I want to change to be a better person. I have to admit that I am temperamental, and egoist. I'll try to change to be a patient person who always gonna be smile when everybody laugh at me because there is someone who make a joke of me, or just keep fighting when everybody underestimate me. And, the most important I have to be someone stronger to make my family especially my mom proud of me and happy because of me..., I'll try however it's not easy...,

It's becoming a bad communication since I live at here with my brother in a prosperous city. I'm unemployed and spent most of my time at home while my brother need to work and most of the time he'll come back after 10pm. I do wish to communicate with him but he's always busy with his stuff.
