Change is a very difficult thing to adopt in life. Why life,
people are reluctant to bring change in anything, be it their life, their clothes,
food habits, mannerism or working style.
But until and unless we bring a change how will we know the
other side of life. It is difficult to adopt it initially, but once you get
adjusted it becomes the most correct step taken in life.
Such situation also came in my life. Well I was a working
woman with a mom to a 2 year old little boy. After my maternity leave I chose
to continue to work as I was having the support of both my parents to look
after my kid while I was in office.
Till last 2 years things were working fine. But there
arrives a situation where our parents were no longer able to support us because
of their other commitments. So the only alternative we had were to keep our kid
in a day care. We looked for a good day care and started leaving our kid there
for few hours. Initially 1-2 days he cried the whole day. We thought it is hi
first time so he is crying like other kids. But after 3-4 days we found a
distinct change in his behavior. He was behaving very weirdly. He didn't played
like he used to do earlier and always looked like afraid of something.
After 1 week he started crying even with the mention of
the day care. Something had stuck in his mind which was troubling him a lot. We
were very afraid with his behavior. After discussing with the lady in the day
care, she said that he is still crying there for the whole day nonstop. May be
he is too small for this and all kids are of different nature. He is very
sensitive and is not able to adopt to staying with others for a longer period.
Me and my husband were very afraid and took a conscious decision
that its time that I take a break from my job for 2-3 years and give more time
for my kid. There was no point in running after career when our kid at home was
not happy at all.
It was a very big change for me. After working for last 10 years
with such hectic schedules, becoming a house wife was the biggest change in my
life. I found it very difficult to deal with it. But after 1-2 weeks when I got
used to the routine and saw a positive change in my kid’s behavior I realized that
it is the best thing that I have done. I was able to give more time to my kid.
Teach him new things, improve his food habits.
This decision has brought a big positive change in my life.
Now when I am free I work as a
freelancer, pursue my hobbies and am planning to start my own business venture.
This would not have been possible had I not taken the decision to bring this
change.
Hence I would say that don’t be frightened with the change.
Sometimes a small change can bring a big positive difference to the life.
