The Art of Connection: Rebuilding the Bridges of Family Communication In the heart of every thriving home, family communication tips are the tools that bridge
Have you ever had the feeling of being unacceptable for the way you look? About your changed body, about your existence, I have it every day.
Today, I will give you another insight into a married woman’s life and the role people play in her day-to-day life. So let’s start.
A girl/woman goes through many phases before she is accepted to be someone’s life partner. The real test starts after the marriage.
However, she makes so many compromises and sacrifices to make an ideal marriage. She is always lurking on the edge to make it work.
Sometimes even fighting with the insecurities she might face. So, everyone has their own monsters/battles to fight.
I fight my battles every day with the acidic people in my surroundings who keep on reminding me about the way I look.
And the weight I have put on, the spots I have on my face, and whatnot. How do I deal with them? I will tell you shortly.
A question for the sensible people out there. Does being married to a girl /woman who is beautiful before marriage put a tag around her neck of being sold to you?
You got it right. She is married and not sold to you. Being beautiful from the outside forever is not a guarantee that you sign in your marriage contract.
However, the marriage contract does not say that apparent beauty cannot expire. It may expire soon or late but what won’t expire is that what lies inside her/you/me.
Women and their bodies change at an incredible speed after childbirth. Does that mean they have left their inner beauty? Not at all.
Then why do husbands fail to see it? Their only concern is the outside beauty. I have seen women kill themselves to get their pre-pregnancy bodies back.
Seriously, how good is the outside physique if it is being rotten bit by bit by your(husband’s) acidic remarks.
Physical beauty might be a small part of a relationship but for sensible people, it is not even that factor. In Pakistan, most people marry for looks, wealth, and all that sparkle.
Virtuous women don’t look for these things in a husband. They need husbands who can respect them and accept them, cherish them, no matter how ugly they might become.
In a changed body; this is the height of sacrifice, a woman makes to complete the family; knowing she may or may not come back to her normal self/physical state, but she is ready to take the risk.
Both my pregnancies were difficult ones. At my daughter’s birth, I had shooting blood pressure and had to go for a C-section.
Similarly, at my son’s birth, I had borderline, Diabetics. So, I had another C-section.
Now, I have neither Diabetics nor blood pressure but have a changed body along with the most beautiful kids in my life who are my pillars of strength.
I am not embarrassed by the way I look. I have been blessed with what people will give millions to have.
I live every day for them as they are my strength. I might be many people’s strength but my strength lies in their smiles, their wishes, their joys, and the people I love, etc.,
Anyone can survive acidic husbands if they have strengths in their lives. These strengths can be in the form of good friends, colleagues, sisters, brothers, aunts, acquaintances, followers, etc.,
In a changed body, here is where I exist. I have a wonderful audience who waits to read about what essence I have to share with them.
Those who can draw so many lessons from a single or multitudes of lives. Who make me go on in my endeavors to bring good around me.
In the end, I would like to say to all husbands out there to cherish their wives. Life is too short to waste on exchanging acidic remarks. Live each day as it is your last day.
Don’t accumulate bad memories to regret when time slips away from the hands
Think about it. Until next time, stay safe and healthy.
I have often come across parents who complain that their children do not participate in sports at all.
Today, I am going to talk about the benefits of sports and why sports needs to be inculcated in children? So let’s start.
Sport is an activity that involves physical exertion of an individual or team carried out for the mere purpose of entertainment or competition.
Secondly, sports inculcates a lot of positive character traits in children of all age groups.
Such traits go a long way in their future lives.
Thirdly, sports help children in being more connected to their surroundings and the people around them.
The element of fear and loneliness subsides when there are people in the surrounding to back them up.
Fourthly, children are prone to developing more friendships due to their curious nature.Such Friendships are not only long lasting but are free from all sorts of prejudices.
Fifthly, through sports children develop the ability of becoming good team mates which helps them in their future endeavors.
Sixthly, sports are good for their mental well being as well.
Children coming from broken families need a vent to their feelings and aggression which is best served by engaging in some kind of healthy sport.
Seventh,through sports children learn from their successes and failures which help them get ready for their future life.
And Lastly, sports help children in recognizing authority and respecting them.
Now, let us try to address how we as parents inculcate physical activities in children.
Firstly, provide open options to your children regarding physical games.Such as cycling, skating,running, mountaineering,rock climbing etc.c
Secondly, take them to different kinds of sports to see what might interest them.Such as cricket,baseball,netball,badminton,tennis or squash etc.,
Thirdly, ask them what they might be interested in.Make a list according to their choices.They might like to do karate, or gymnastics,swimming or may be archery.
Whatever, they like you need to address their problem and find a solution to it.
Fourthly, if a child wants the support of a parent,engage yourself in their support.Don’t think for a moment that you will be embarrassed by playing that particular support.
Unconsciously, you are strengthening your bond with your child for life and ultimately it will bear great fruits.
And lastly, trust your child in what sport they want to pursue.Sports we did in our childhood may not attract them in the way it used to make us glow.
Every Generation is different.For the coming generations we might appear Noobs to some but there’s no limit to our becoming pro’s. So have an open mind dear parents.Â
In the end, I would like to say that children can only develop the habit of sports when you as a parent follow it in practice.Nothing comes without effort.
And the changing times ask us to change too for the mental and physical well being of our children.Not all sports require money to begin.
