5 Guidelines on how to enjoy Pregnancy and Postpartum

Look good and feel good: It’s common for a pregnant woman to gain weight uncontrollably. Get in stylish maternity clothes, gaining weight shall not make you less beautiful. The skin may have breakouts, pigmentation, and acne due to hormones taking a huge leap and dive. Mood swings are common hence feel happy and confident to pass positive vibes to the inner soul.

Don’t listen to the cooked up stories by the Aunties: Everybody has their own bundle of experiences, but it doesn’t mean that each one of us may go through similar jitters. Grab all good that they suggest and dump all bad that they utter.

Follow a Diet Plan: Eating for two? Well, …it’s a myth. Unaware of the consequences, eating for two will just bloat us up. Eat right! Not more! The war against those jelly belly is hard to win. To get them firm needs a bulk of workouts. Gaining up to 16kgs for a normal weighed woman is an appropriate gain, with every woman gaining with respect to their BMI. Exceeding the limit would just make you a “bean bag”. Download a pregnancy app –it will be helpful in maintaining a nutritional track and day to day routine.

Listen, speak and see pleasant: Teaching begins right from the womb. Teach and preach your penny baby with all the fortunes. The good ambiance around leads to sound peace within. Make a schedule to listen to soft music. Read more books regarding the pregnancy insights. Pair up with your partner and have a conversation with the tiny tot within.

Workout  under the professional guidance: Keeping pelvic organs strong is really important for a normal delivery. The food that we consume is already half nutritional due to adulteration and pesticides, unlike the older generation where fruits and vegetables were raised in their yards. Practice Kegels and few other pelvic floor exercises to keep pelvic organs stronger.

Be confident! Be Strong! That’s what a woman is made of. 40 weeks is not just the final destination but the beginning of a whole new life. Until now nobody was dependent on you but now the newborn is totally relying on you. In my initial days of postpartum, I used to forget that I have a newborn and ended up spending hours in the washroom until I was alarmed by my mother knocking at the door saying “The little one is waiting!”.

The firm catch across the fingers and the joy of nursing are mesmerizing. It’s a re-birth for every woman. Things are going to be pressurized for the one who is going to work after that long maternity leave. Most of them rethink about going to work after the delivery of the child. This shouldn’t cause hurdle to your professional career. The confidence level may decrease gradually.

After the Pregnancy and Postpartum, the dilemma as to “Should I continue to work or should I stay back with the kid”, builds in every mother, though it’s their personal choice. Achieving success in both personal and work life may seem difficult initially. It technically relies on our willpower and mindset. We, women, are a bunch of talent and can sustain amidst all the taboos of the society. Get out of those four walls of the kitchen. Life can be spiced up with a lot more than those chillies in the kitchen.

10 proven plan to resume your work during Pregnancy and Postpartum

Start afresh: Being reluctant about how we look postpartum is common. On an average, it takes around 10 months postpartum to get back to normal physically. You may be wondering that it’s been weeks that I shed my womb, yet I remain same! Oh, wait….calm down because it was an intricate transition physically and mentally which will set right with time.

Boost up the confidence and energy in a shopping spree. Buy modern dresses- preferably nursing dresses widely available in the market in exclusively fashionable designs. Those jeans need to be locked up for a while, meanwhile, you shop for a new one.

Choose a responsible Nanny: For all those women who wish to work may need someone trustworthy to look after her tiny tot, especially in a nuclear family. Take the test of a nanny for a week. For security, you can always opt a technical way by installing cameras to help you have a track of the baby throughout, while you are away. For those babies who are breastfed exclusively, milk can be pumped and stored while the Nanny will feed the baby whenever necessary after you leave for work.

Working from home: The world has shrunk and all the things are easily approachable and handy. All thanks to the technology boost up. Working online from home is the trend of the new era. This method of working is most flexible and lets the mother stay with her baby while she can also work.

It’s much more beyond “I feel, it’s better I quit”: Quitting is what cowards do! “ It’s better I quit” will be your initial hasty decision. Home and work need to intermingle at the most pressurizing delta, at least at the initial stage of working postpartum. Frustration may be bubbled up ready to spill over but patience is a desideratum (a.k.a need). This time too shall pass– something to ponder upon.

A mom may be worried but she is full of hopes. She is impatient, yet patient. She is overwhelmed, but never quits!

An eternal bond: Feed your baby while you are away. Enjoy the joy of nursing. Milk can be pumped and stored while the nanny/daycare center will feed the baby whenever necessary after you leave for work. Exclusive breastfeeding may be difficult for a working mom, yet formula milk can always be included. Follow the diet that increases your lactation. Include milk products, oats, celery etc in your routine.

Let the workplace be nearby to the home/ daycare center: For the breastfed babies, it’s convenient if the workplace is close by to the daycare center/home. It becomes effortless for the moms to meet and nurse the baby even during the shortest recess.

Bring your tiny tot to your workplace before starting afresh: Gearing up is very much compelling after a long maternity leave. Taking the baby along will keep you relaxed until you get used to the realm of your workplace.

Look for part-time positions: Flexible timings can be set according to your partners working hours. This reduces the pressure to an extent. Though less pay, satisfaction is achieved by keeping the pressure at the bay.

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is, … and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong.”

Self-applauding and self-encouragement: Self-boasting and self-motivation is essential. Confidence is the main key to success. Don’t compare your life with others. Just as there is no comparison between the sun and the moon, they anyway shine when it’s their time. It’s time to shine lady.

Update yourself: Motherhood deals with multiple tasks in day to day life. Amidst the busy schedule, we tend to forget to articulate new skills. Upgrade professionally and scholastic achievements. There are many institutes which provides various courses nevertheless learning has no age bar. Do not worry about how to enjoy Pregnancy and Postpartum as well. We learn until we die and it is a process that goes on.

“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule but to schedule your priorities.”

For ladies out there! Don’t be disheartened that your art skills and talents will be buried postpartum. Remember! Talent can be hidden but cannot be isolated from an individual. Your Baby will make days shorter, nights longer, love stronger, home happier, clothes shabbier and the past is forgotten. But the future is worth living for.

A woman is always admired for beauty. However woman with brains are admired more. Yes, though being girlish, she can always try to be technically sound and even surpass most men. With the known fact that companies need to maintain gender ratio, females get an opportunity to show their capacities in the corporate jobs a.k.a be a nerdy girl as well.

“Women are already smart and intelligent. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that intelligence”

Another fact which is stuck in everyone’s mind like an insect in the spider’s web is that women always find excuses such as mood swings, family responsibilities, work-life balance problems and are sympathy seekers. Needless to say, Relations are very delicate to be handled and women do it with ease. When she can accept different challenges in family, she can really be good at job too. She can be an awesome problem solver and can think in different angles on a problem and solve it, many a times better than men.

Probably, it will be proven with blind job auditions only.

Blind Job Audition? Am sure many wouldn’t have heard about it. A blind audition is done by removing the candidate’s identification information and thus leaving the employer select a resume purely on the basis of the technology qualifications and knowledge the candidate owns. Blind auditions in any field, be it technology, music, art and so on, have always increased the female hiring to a drastic number. This is not a new method. Blind auditions have been in practice in various countries since 70’s.

We all use browsers and of course Google chrome is what majority of the people use. Let me ask you a question. Do you feel safe browsing on chrome? I do and indeed, the billions of crowd out there does. All thanks to a female named Parisa Tabriz and her team.

ALSO READ: FRUSTRATED with no Jobs. Here is what you can do!

Who is Parisa Tabriz? She is the master mind who controls the chrome security leading a team of hackers. She is the Google’s head of product security for the company’s Chrome browser. They are not like the ugly hackers we have pictured in our minds. In fact,  they help us from getting into traps of black hats/unethical hackers and make us feel secured. Parisa leads a team of 30, with most of male developers.

Her job is to make sure all our accounts are safe and that nothing is stolen. Tabriz is called the SECURITY PRINCESS and is the security weapon of Google. Her only goal is to protect all the users from the black hats and the techniques used to harm the users.

Her experiences:

• As a Browser Boss at Google: Responsible for the Chrome browser we ship on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS.
• Developed a web vulnerability detection system for Google’s products via log detection and replay.
• Served as a Consultant at United States Digital Service.
• Researched methods to passively fingerprint wireless devices.

Like Parisa Tabriz, there are many other nerdy girls. To name a few:

1. Rashmi Sinha: CEO and Co-founder of Slideshare
2. Padmasree Warrior: Chief Technology and Strategy Officer of Cisco systems.
3. Vanitha Narayanan: Managing Director, IBM India.
4. Kumud Sreenivasan: President , Intel India.
5. Neelam Dhawan: MD, Hewlette Packard
6. Aruna Jayanthi: CEO of Capgemeni India
7. Virginia Sharma: VP of Marketing, Communications & Corporate Citizenshipfor IBM India.

9. Raji Arasu: Stubhubs’s Chief Technology Officer.
10. Gayathri Baragohain: India’s ACM-W ambassador and a member of the ACM India Council.

The list can go on and on but I guess I made the point clear enough. NERDY GIRLS DO EXIST!

Simple tip to reach the nerdy girls gang:

Start now. If you are a working individual, surround yourself with motivated people. Make a group and learn new things. Make smart goals. Have a mentor. Learn new skill every 3 months along with your regular work.

ALSO READ: Its possible to achieve GOALS if they are SMART GOALS

If you are a student, then explore your potential, involve in creative and logical activities. Think out of the box and come up with crazy ideas. Understand how the eco-system works. Have one of successful people as your role model and try to learn from them.

If you are a parent, make your kids passionately take interest in multiple activities from childhood itself. While there are parents who are keen in joining their kids for computer class music, dance, art ,sports and other classes etc but just as a hobby and not out of passion and zeal.

Everyone must be aware of the bigger picture, the longer vision. Once they taste it, as in experience it, they will surely want to know more and more about the same.

We need to encourage more women to get out of the four walls and embrace new challenges. We need to dream about living in a world where girls like above mentioned names are our future technologists.

If this happens, we will soon live in the world where girls create technology to manage a home as well as many other daily tasks where woman need not be present.

No doubt, it’s completely fine for a girl to be at home and develop any hobby and execute it in a right way. For all those girls who are married, the so-called concerned people have the different set of million dollar pokes such as,

• Why don’t you QUIT and start taking care of the house?

Yes, it’s completely okay to be a homemaker, if you really wish to be one. But, let me warn you, being at home and doing household chores is not an easy job compared to the office job. But for those girls who want to step out and build their own empires, must not settle down no matter what. Do you really want to listen to others and crush your dreams?

Nooo! It’s a big NO. You have your own lives and dreams and you got to achieve it. So, live for yourself and break all those barriers. Step out with confidence and prove that you are not less than anyone and cheers to all of those, who have already started the journey.

10 promising reasons to convince or prove the people around you, why women should work

1. Freedom: The very first thought that comes to anyone’s mind is to become independent. It might be a girl or a boy, who want’s to be dependent. Once you are out and working, started earning; Be independent, you learn a lot of things and with experience, you mentally get wiser from sweet 16.
2. Change of mind: You go out, work, talk to different people, make new friends, you will have a change of mind. You get to know people, you learn from others etc. Altogether, it helps you to become a better version of yourself.
3. Passion: Do what you like. Don’t choose your career based on other’s choices. Do you love coding, gaming, or XYZ? Go for it, do something that you are passionate about and at the same time even help in the growth of the organization wherever you are.
4. Expenses from your own pocket: You can buy your own diamond ring. You need not always wait for the charming prince come to you on a white horse and fulfill all our dreams. Trust me, it gives immense joy to even buy your favorite lipstick shade with your own hard earned money.
5. Supporting pillar to our family: A lot of families depend on their children for financial aids and of course, all parents wish the best for their children. At times we daughters, remain more faithful than sons. We can’t always expect our parents to take care of us. If you start earning, then you can proudly say, ‘Now it’s a time for us to do something in return and take care of their responsibilities’. Buying mamma’s favorite saree dad’s favorite shoes and of course, Your brother’s favorite ps4. Wow! Isn’t this utmost happiness?
6. A role model for our kids: Our kids tend to follow us in every possible way and our kids would definitely see us as a strong independent woman who manages both home and office if we are/were working woman.

7. Individual identity: We have our own identity which is very important for each one of us. Once you have set up your career, people would stop saying you are so and so’s daughter, wife, sister, friend etc. In fact, you have your own identity and people recognize you for that.
8. Social connection: Once you start working, you are exposed to many things including people and hence your friends and colleagues circle keep growing which is always good on a long journey of your life. With this connection, you not only get to hear about other’s experiences and problems, you will also be able to help each other in need unlike the case when you sit at home. When you are at home, you won’t even realize how much you are missing out.
9. Better old age: You never know how will your tomorrow be. If you are competent in today’s time, earn and save for your future needs, you will definitely be in a better position when you get old. You get to hear a lot of sad stories about kids not taking care of their old parents and sending them to old homage etc. God forbid our kids to turn out like that; however, if you earn today, you can ensure better old-age life. Hence, for better old age life women should work.
10. Self-satisfaction: Lastly, remember how you were satisfied when you cooked a perfect dish for the first time. The relaxed feeling when your parents said that, they were proud of you. With every struggle you encounter, you only emerge out stronger at the end. No matter how much ever ups and down’s you face in your life, at the end you will be satisfied.

Don’t repent by holding your dreams and don’t cut your feathers after years of struggles you went through already! Women should work and this barrier can only be broken by winning your parent’s trust and convincing them properly. Next time someone asks for a favor or so called little help in the name of huge amount of work reply what the image says 😉

Let your parents know that you are no less than a son (if they think so). Tell your news anchor relatives, their words and gossips aren’t going to stop you. Let the annoying neighbors know that, their bad mouth is not going to stop you from taking care of self and if required; you will take care of the family as well. I definitely think women should work. What about you? Share your views in comments below.

The post 10 promising reasons why women should work appeared first on JumpWhere.

Your makeup is directly or indirectly one of the essential reason for your productivity at the office. If you are dressed up well, you will feel confidence at your work; same goes with makeup for few. At times, you find people always thinking whether their dress or makeup is fine or not or if they did too much of makeup etc. With proper makeup, you will not waste any of your time at the office and hence, will be able to be more productive than converting your restroom to a beauty parlor everytime.

We have categorized makeup ideas and makeup tutorials into 3 sections based on the time you can invest on makeup everyday basis (5 minutes, 10 minutes or 15 minutes).

The 5 minutes makeup ideas and makeup tutorials:

Every 5-minute look should contain roughly three things that make the most improvement to your appearance. For most people, those things are following:

1. a light coverage foundation such as BB/CC cream or tinted moisturizer
2. mascara
3. brow gel or pencil.

Steps to follow:

1. Start by using a Beauty Blender or another off-brand beauty sponge like it, and apply your foundation by lightly buffing it into the skin.
2. Use a CC Cream or a tinted moisturizer instead of a full coverage foundation.
3. CC Cream is really great for neutralizing, lightly fill in your brows with a brow pencil. It’s important not to spend too much time here because the goal is to be done with your whole face in roughly five minutes.
4. If you have thin or spotty brows, don’t worry, we have all been there! You may want to add some pencil strokes in the thinning spaces too, but again don’t spend too much time here.
5. Finally, curl your lashes and apply a couple of quick coats of mascara.
6. It is very important that your lips are hydrated, so ALWAYS wear chapstick even when your face is naked.

The 10 minutes makeup ideas and makeup tutorials:

This 10 minutes look is worn most often because it’s what is worn Monday-Friday to the office/job.

Steps to follow:

1. It starts the exact same way that the five-minute face starts.
2. Once you complete those steps, add concealer on dark under eye circles and on any spots on the face (adult acne is real, people) because concealer is a very creamy and concentrated product, always set it with a bit of translucent powder to prevent creasing. This is important when dealing with super creamy products.
3. Next, add some blush on the apples of your cheeks. Use powder blush most often because it is the easiest to work with cream and liquid blushes are also options, but those require a fair amount of blending which isn’t ideal for you when you are in a hurry.
4. After that, contour and highlight your face.
5. Right now, cream contour products are in, but powder contours are more user-friendly. The benefit of a cream contour is how well it blends into the skin- it kind of melts into it rather than sitting on top of it. Cream contours require a bit of practice before you get the hang of using them. So, if you prefer using cream instead of powder, practice lots so you can get the hang of it before making it a part of your daily routine.
6. Usually, Contour should be applied anywhere we want to hollow out or narrow the face. Especially, under your cheekbones, up and around your temples, and along your jawline.
7. There are more areas on the face that can be contoured, but this is all that’s done for this 10-minute look.

Don’t want to make yourself look “too” done up there because this is still a very natural look.

 

8. Add highlighter just on the tops of cheeks. A liquid highlighter is nice because you can apply with your finger and is more intense than a powder highlighter.
9. If you want more of a subtle highlight, then use a powder product with a fan brush.
10. When it comes to highlighter, subtlety is for the birds, but not everyone is a fan of highlighter. If you’re not, then skip this step.
11. Finish by adding a tinted lip balm that has a high amount of gloss to it, and a touch of color.

Lip balms are everyone’s best friends, they go with us EVERYWHERE. Please invest in one! Your lips will thank you.

 

The 15 minutes makeup ideas and makeup tutorials:

Steps to follow:

1. For this look, use a foundation instead of a CC Cream or tinted moisturizer.
2. Your skin may not need a foundation but more often foundation provides WAY more coverage than the CC creams.
3. You can even apply primer before going for foundation if time permits.
4. Please choose the nearest and the best foundation for your skin or It will clog your pores and cause breakouts. Be fair to your skin when choosing a foundation.
5. You wouldn’t wear a sweater in the summertime, so why wear a full coverage foundation when you don’t have a need for it? use a brush to apply the foundation rather than a blending sponge here, because a brush provides a bit more coverage. You can use them when going for a more “made-up” look.
6. In addition to the steps you took in the previous looks, add a neutral colored cream shadow to your lids.
7. Cream shadows are great because you can apply them with your finger. That isn’t always ideal, especially when doing more complex eye looks, but when you want a simple wash of color, they’re perfect.
8. You can use a matte one or a shimmery one, whichever you prefer.

The world is your oyster!

(you really need to understand why that phrase exists).

9. Next, add some contour and highlight to your eyes with the same shades used on your face. Apply the contour shade in a windshield wiper motion across the crease of your eye, and apply the highlight directly underneath your eyebrows. This makes the eyes pop a bit more without taking a whole bunch of time.
10. Finish by adding a neutral colored lipstick. Also, you can base the lipstick with a pat of a compact.

Conclusion about makeup tutorials and makeup ideas:

A very neutral and subtle look always compliments your personality especially when it’s hot and humid and you really want to look all made up every day at your work. A setting spray is a must for that heavenly hold of your products on your skin for the rest of your day.

These are some of the helpful and quick makeup ideas and makeup tutorials for professionals who do not have time to make that cake all over the face. Initially, you might face it difficult to finish off the makeup activity within the time but with practice, you surely will. Dont forget to share your secret mantra for quick makeup and if you have any queries/clarifications feel free to comment below.

Beautiful narration about a child who always wanted to express love towards mom but never did until this mother’s day:

– When I was kid, my day used to begin with a sight of your smiling face! Every day was indeed a mother’s day for me. I don’t know why, but even to this date, I go blank thinking how shall I say ‘I love you mom’. Maybe my words aren’t sufficient to express it; hence I am leaving this note.

– While you badly want to take rest or take an off for the day from all your housework but still wake up thinking about me, I feel like saying I love you, mom…

– When the sun is about to rise and you come to wake me up, your reluctant hands wanting me to sleep for some more time, I feel like saying, I love you Mom…

– When you are bored of cooking the same thing  every day, yet cook my favorite dish (though you hate it). Not to forget the feel you carry; as if you won the best chef award just by hearing “hmmmm…yummy food…!”, I feel like saying, I love you Mom….

– Neither interest nor curious to know about the new technology or even smartphone but still eager to be in touch. Those constant messages to check if I reached safely by texting on WhatsApp or even saying “Have food on time”. Not to forget those silly sweet typos made in these texts (with a shy feeling of what would I think), I feel like saying it’s alright mom, I still love you.

– When our neighbor’s child reaches home and I am still out, those thousands of untold, un-shared thoughts running in your mind. You not uttering a word until I reach home and once I reach you start bombarding me with same words every single time; and I bluntly reply saying “Am grown up now, I can take care of myself” but what I don’t reply back is, ‘I love you mom, your scolding’s also sound sweet and memorable’.

– When you take all the blame when I break some stuff or misplace any valuables, so that dad wouldn’t scold me, I feel like saying, I love you Mom…

– While you don’t update with the current fashion trend, and pinpoint everything you feel is not in place (I repeat almost everything) and start with “hamare zamaane mein,…….bla bla bla…”, I feel like cuddling you and saying I love you, Mom…

– When my friend gets better marks than me and dad starts comparing; the way you hold my hands tightly to make me feel you are with me and those words of belief, “it’s ok beta, next time…”, I feel like saying I love you Mom…

– When I see my childhood videos (a flashback, refreshing memories) wherein you hurt yourself protecting me, which for a second takes your life away, but still not scolding me. I feel like running and hugging you and just say, I love you Mom.

– At the dining table when I say am full (realizing the less quantity), although badly wanted to hog it off if given a chance), still you serve me again, with an extra spoon (reading my mind), I feel like saying, I love you mom…

– When I think of those smaller to complex sacrifices you did in my upbringing and having no regrets, I feel like screaming at the top of my voice saying, I love you Mom…

– When you see my love towards you being shared with my better half, yet finding your happiness in mine and not complaining. I feel like saying, I love you mom…

– Moment’s when you recall all my mischievous deeds while I was a kid and remember every silly act of mine; I feel like saying, I love you mom…

– When I realize you just came out of the bathroom after crying secretly on the pain you have treasured in your heart; yet did not let me feel the pinch of it, I feel like holding your hand and saying I love you mom….

 – Sleepless nights during fevers to apology letters to my teachers, forgiveness for all my mistakes to supporting me against others even though it was my mistake; being best friend to best teacher; the memories I have are endless and I can write a book on the same. Although the current life keeps me busy; but the more I grow older the better I realize that mom, you are, were and will always remain my best friend.

How can I make sure every day is mothers day?

To everyone out there, if you have never said I LOVE YOU to your mom; give a try this mother’s day. We will not tell you how to spend mother’s day because we believe every day is mothers day and a day without mother is not a complete day. But, this (mother’s) day on-wards make an attempt to express all the love you kept within. It’s not that tough; Ek baar bolke dekho yaar, kitna acha lagega.

When we can say I LOVE YOU to our country, teachers, friends, better half, why not tell to someone who loves us the most.  She is the best actor at hiding things and she is the best detective to figure out anything you are hiding from her. This mother’s day, don’t hide any emotions towards her; let them flow.

Let her know you never meant to trouble her anytime nor intended to hurt her. Tell her, you always treated her like your best friend and how scared you are to lose her. Tell her she is the best secret keeper among all your friends and she is the only one whom you can count on; at any point in your life; no matter you turn 16 or 60.

You always took her for granted but this day onwards; along with taking for granted (yeah you won’t stop doing that no matter what) make her feel special, tell her she is your strength and she is the only one whom you can blindly trust on.

A simple “I love you, Happy mother’s day :)” would surely bring a huge smile on her face which can be cherished life-long; it’s a cheap deal my friends; just two lines every day isn’t difficult to anyone I guess.

Hopefully, this article highlights some of your mother-child bonding. Do share what was your favorite mom-child time.

Men can but women cant:

Unlike men, who can easily go for after work parties, fall on the lounge or bed once home, woman needs to work like a machine and run the show pretend to be a super-cool robot. No matter what, she still needs to play the home maker’s role before hitting the bed. She gets impatient, irritated, frustrated, angry which again results in arguments leading her into depression. Believe me, these are the common symptoms when she is stressed but the woman is a beautiful actress to hide them. Who is more stressed is definitely a debatable topic, however we want to convey the message “women too need a stress free weekend“.

Men can always spend their weekend by relaxing with their family, friends, or alone. Women usually pile up the miscellaneous work at the weekend which could not be completed otherwise in the weekday. Forget about week day, even stress free weekend for a woman is very difficult to accomplish. We, at JUMPWHERE ask, why can’t they too relax just like men? Just because, she can’t avoid, she shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Does women really feel stressed out?

Even if small work is undone, women are blamed for not being well organized or taunted for silly reasons which could be ignored. When people preach saying men and women are equal, why not actually follow. Women do have full rights to have stress free weekend. They even feel relaxed when they are pampered, supported emotionally, than being left all alone.

THE WOMAN IN THE HOME IS THE PRINCESS OF THE HOME AND NOT SERVANT OF THE HOME

Studies prove that women are more stressed than men. Stress is always mistaken to be related to mind. It’s purely due to physical and hormonal imbalance. It should never go out of control. This needs to be addressed before its too late; otherwise it will end up in mess. Early symptoms would be over consumption of food, sleeping for longer time, trying to hide from the crowd (being alone) and huge problems like bad relationships, fights without reasons etc. resulting in depression could also occur.

When it comes to HER, who again scores top in the stress test, who is the most active member of the family, things need to be in corrected. To put more light, woman must overcome her stress in a healthy manner which she can usually take place at weekends by giving a room for herself, her interests so that the next week is welcomed with great enthusiasm and goes in zoom.

Simple ways for a stress free weekend:

1. Go out for a walk / long drive / mini vacation.
2. Exercise or start a new hobby. Perhaps read a book.
3. Go to your loved ones place or hang out with friends.
4. Let your loved ones cook else lock the kitchen and order from outside.
5. Spend time with your kids and play their favorite game.
6. Book an appointment with your health expert and get pampered.

If you are a woman looking for options for a stress free weekend, do try the above pointers and if you know a lady who deserves a stress free weekend, do help them to implement the same.

“Never forget lady! You look gorgeous only if you are healthy. So take care of yourself and exercise, which is also a stress reducer. Be fit. Spread joy! No one will be there for you woman, though you work for any one and everyone! Be there for yourself. Take a break. It’s really fine. Don’t wait for someone to get you a flower, instead plant one! “

To all the men around these ladies, you need to take an initiative on this one, else you would surely repent some day for not doing so. Sharing a secret, one stress free weekend = more productivity next week so invest wisely men.

People usually have wrong assumption that spending money (directly or indirectly) on children is good parenting. Instead, spend twice as much quality time with kids and half as much money for better upbringing. Children are a blessing, hence if you cannot assure quality time with kids, please DON’T HAVE THEM, for they are never worth an absent parent.

Guilty of bad parenting? Simple tweaks to spend quality time with kids:

Win their TRUST:

No one opens up unless they trust you and kids are more tough when it comes to this. A hug, a smile, laughter with the kid, a small conversation, letting them know how precious they are to you, speaking positive things about them, a small walk in the evening (probably before bed), knowing their favorite pass time / hobbies and indulging yourself in the same with them. Believe me, they will love it!

Set an environment  where they tend to share all the day’s story before you ask anything. Be it at the dining table or replacing the fairy tale at the bed. Share your favorite childhood  times spent, than any imaginary story. See to it that you pay attention to them and their words. To be straight forward keep aside your gadgets which would otherwise distract you leaving your kid annoyed. They hate partial attention. Call them with their pet-names. This increases  the closeness between you and your kid.

Dedicate one day in a month:

Spend a day in a garden or even at home dedicating the day (if feasible) or few hours and teach a new moral on the very day. Celebrating doesn’t mean getting expensive gifts or cutting cake or making it public. Knowing your kid’s interest and working on the same with them, a candle light dinner in an open air (even your terrace), walking in the silent night with only your kid, speaking on how better he / she can be in the next month, his / her progress in the previous month. Also, speaking even about what he / she expects out of you would be a quality time making the day more special. Hence, Have a date with your kid at-least once in a month.

Avoid GADGETS / GIZMOS:

Try replacing the time spent on TV with the child with any of the above. Keep them away from the machine world (THE GADGETS). Play in the garden space or a park near by. Do some healthy exercises or play some fitness games. Sometimes taking out the old games out from the wardrobe and few short games will also help, no matter how silly the game is!

Small SURPRISES:

Escort from their school or any class (swimming, dancing, singing, karate, etc etc) makes them more happy. All the way back home discuss on the their best performance in their class and how they can improve themselves. Cook their favorite dish, Play their favorite game. Sleep besides them sometimes. Behave like kids with them such that you forget the entire world when you are with them. Most importantly, don’t forget to capture their expressions at such moments!

Fool your kids for healthy up-bringing:

Yet another Amazing way to have quality time with kids is by indulging him or her while you are cooking, and enact as you are teaching the recipe in front of the camera before the countless audience, with the kid being the host of the show. Really, try this out! Involve them in getting the things for you or even adding few ingredients to the dish, and at the end, appreciating the dish and crediting your kid for cooking something so yummy. This not only makes them happy but also helps them forget their NO’s w.r.t the veggies they always hated to eat. It’s good to fool the kids sometimes for their own betterment. Never forget to make them realize on the same after they eat it, that even the one they hated can be so delicious.

Cheap and timely love tricks:

Surely, a lot of parents can do this on daily basis without fail. Do not forget to say I LOVE YOU once in a day, a warm hug and some good things about the kid. Preferably before bed. It makes the child feel more secure and proud of self, letting the child to end the day with a positive attitude. Cuddling helps a lot to stay connected. Make a lasting impression in their hearts whenever you sit with your kids.

HAPPY PARENTING!!

P.S. : If you are parents or going to be parents, kindly share your feedback’s in the below comments section on spending quality time with kids.

Beware of such wolves around you. Don’t be their prey. Before you become a victim and share your dreadful incident on social media, hit back and save yourself and create awareness to the rest of the woman crowd. Being silent and suffering from within is something a lot of woman master but IT’S NOT WORTH it. It might be you today but tomorrow it would be someone else who might not be as strong as you. Moreover It will only fetch you discomfort at work which might even be dragged to personal life. Hence, ruining both your professional growth (career) and your personal life.

Always Remember, if you don’t oppose at the very start, your silences are taken for a ‘YES’ and that you are OK with it. So what ? Shout back or be cruel like them? Yeah, at times you can even be annoying by saying things what you feel directly / indirectly.

To be more specific, if you are harassed may it be on gender basis, physically or SEXUALLY or in any other manners, stop thinking much and bring it to your direct supervisor’s notice then & there and if it’s your supervisors is misbehaving with you then go to that person’s supervisor / anti-harassment team (if your company has one). When I speak of “HARASSMENT AT WORK”, it might not necessarily be a physical touch. There are quite a few who even touch you through their nasty eyes and words they speak. Please don’t welcome them, for you never know what that would lead towards; just by your silence.

Although it is tough to say but if someone is trying to be over-friendly or even pretending to be a good colleague, you must be alert. However, it’s very much essential to draw a clear border between what’s personal and what’s professional. Even if a behaviour falls into professional ethics court, still beware of every move taken towards you. For the first time, it might just look a mere accident but Accidents don’t repeat.

• Oppose it.
• Make them feel you aren’t comfortable with their behavior.
• Warn them.
• Be subtle.

Totally agree that the reasons for their behavior aren’t always you neither your looks nor your dressing sense. Many a times it’s that hard truth of their life; i.e. ‘a woman is capable of doing things what man can do or run at same pace as theirs’.  For most men / seniors / colleagues out there, it’s even hard to accept your intelligence, you being skilled compared to them, being more effective at work and noticeable with respect to work and deliverables, sometimes communication and every other thing that they couldn’t do or they lacked. Your progress literally pricks them and come what may, they wouldn’t hesitate to pull you down the ladder at any cost.

Few usual cases of harassment at work :

• “Give and take”: Especially for benefit minded people. Say, tolerate everything just for the sake of promotion / a good hike. Again, it is harassment at work.

• “Leading to intolerable work atmosphere”: Constant actions or talks or invitations will drive you from work and distract you leading to emotional breakdown. E.g. Not talking professionally, sending adult messages, unofficially bugging and chattering etc.

• “Dominating / blackmailing”: Show seniority to newly joined intern or don’t help them / guide them being a mentor and if you don’t entertain them they respond saying “Will see you when you come to ask for help or guidance”.

Measures to be taken to avoid harassment at work, getting bullied and even handling such situations with ease:

All women out there:

1. Draw a line between you and any other employee and define your limits and maintain the same.
2. Confine your meetings and talks to be professional only.
3. Ensure you are aware all the anti-harassment at work policies as you would be asked for proofs sometimes.
4. Stick to your work and do not entertain / accept anything from susceptible wolves (May it be even a cup of coffee in the cafeteria).
5. If colleagues are not guiding / helping, try to discuss in the group / communicate officially via emails in presence of manager.
6. If things are still not working out, inform the same to your reporting manager before it’s too late. This is beneficial for yourself, your project as well as the company.
7. Your hard work will be paid off. Don’t think your boss will screw up your appraisal if you don’t fulfill his wishes.
8. Don’t ignore any harassment at work. Create awareness it would be benefit other colleagues and save them from becoming victims.
9. Attend various training sessions on harassment at work and how to deal with it. Speak out with other colleagues and exchange thoughts and ideas about the same.
10. Only cowards are involved in harassment at work. Speak out aloud in public and they will not respond. If it happens to be your boss, prefer not working under them / with them.

All companies / policy makers out there:

1. Every company should have an anti-harassment policy, where the employee can approach the team and bring their problem to notice and get it addressed.
2. It’s the company’s responsibility to make the employees aware of the policy and avail its features at ease. This is the best way to avoid any harassment at work for it would be the same for all and not biased based on designation.
3. Have monthly training sessions on the Harassment policy and various learning’s about the same for all levels of employees in the company with mandatory attendance.
4. Every case should be taken seriously, like it’s treated in the court. Proper actions should be taken against the harasser.
5. See to it that the employee is clear while describing the ill treatment, without hesitation, without the fear of reprisal, which would help in knowing how worse it was for her to go through the situation.
6. Create easy access to anti-harassment team by all employees. Have a forum where woman can raise complaints / talks / discussions about various harassments they face at organization.

To all those men out there:

1. You will never feel better if the only thing you know is to make the other suffer! Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter.
2. Be professional.
3. Don’t lose your respect.
4. Taste your words before you spit them out.
5. Treat the women around you the way you would want yourself to be treated. Respect them.
6. What goes around comes around. If you harass someone, some else would harass you or your loved ones.

To summarize, Consequences are worse if any kind of harassment at work is left un-attended. Though a woman is meant to have lot of patience, or meant to tolerate all the shit thrown at her, it’s really tough to go through the mixed feelings like fear, anger, frustration, insult, humiliation, confusion, torture and the list extends. Do not be bullied by anyone into keeping silent. Unite to end bullying.

A wise woman never wishes to be someone’s enemy. A wise woman refuses to be someone’s victim!

The post Harassment at work – A slow poison for personal breakdown appeared first on JumpWhere.

There is always one big concern the employee would have towards her boss. Yes, it’s the behavior of her boss from the time she shares the news about she expecting, her tenure in the workplace since then till she is back to the office after her maternity.

Although a lot of companies value their employees and expect them to return back to work after the maternity period as well provide various perks etc but research says, most of the working moms went through harassment or ill-treatment or negative comments or some other form of discrimination at workplace by their boss/colleagues both during the pregnancy and after their return from maternity. 10% of working women were treated badly after their return by their employers and few were even forced to resign.

Though the employee has the right (under the Fair Work Act) to ask for flexible working hours, like working part-time, early come and go, work from home request, it’s become a common thing that people take it otherwise. The employee is being treated differently than the normal working employees. It’s the biggest mistake on employers part if he or she thinks that the employee won’t be effective at work when she is expecting or after her maternity. The employer is many a time very unfair in assigning tasks to such woman thinking she might no more be capable to complete challenging tasks on time. Sometimes even speak low about her capability while in an open discussion or a team meeting.

Yeah, it’s true that she might need a little time to settle down everything and join the race. MATERNITY brings along with it a lot of transformations, adjustments, responsibilities, sacrifices, commitments etc, the list never ends. This is the time when she really needs a good moral support both at work as well as home.

Pregnancy/maternity is one of the noted attributes of protection from discrimination at the workplace. Be it not including her in important meetings held, the type of job/task assigned, or the drop in the level of expectations from her when it comes to delivering tasks, everything leads to discrimination at the workplace. This might also include making fun of her when she isn’t able to grasp things soon while at work, taking time in giving the deliverables, requesting for leaves for the baby’s care, and many more obvious reasons. Employer not considering you for any of the assignment is also kind of discrimination at the workplace. Raise your voice against such acts.

A beautiful video mentioned below describing how a boss in spite of having tough quarters goes beyond his limits to provide comfortable workplace to a pregnant employee.

Yes totally agree that every woman can’t or wouldn’t get such a helping workplace or boss. However, when a woman is made to come across such situations, she feels more comfortable. If you aren’t comfortable with your boss/company and find discrimination at the workplace, here are few tips to handle such scenarios easily.

Also read: Quick makeup ideas and makeup tutorials for people with no time

Few tips if you are facing discrimination at the workplace:

• Never ignore such situations when you feel you are discriminated. Don’t welcome them at all.
• Feel free to express your feelings, that you aren’t happy with discrimination treatment. Your silence will certainly make them take you for granted.
• Always remember that everyone in the company has someone superior to them, you can thus approach your employer’s superior and lodge a complaint if you face discrimination at the workplace.
• No law tells someone to discriminate you. Hence, speak up and let them know you are keen about the situation and serious about it. But, remember false complaints will surely cost you.  For more information, go through the FMLA (Family & Medical Leave Act).
• Ensure you have valid proofs for the complaint lodged. People will believe you only when there are written records or any proofs which would make your job easier. Like the company usually has the incident diaries for every employee; likewise, you too maintain an incident/event diary which includes the following details:
  • DATE & TIME
  • Incident Description
  • Valid proofs (if any)
  • Witnesses (friends or colleagues).
  • You can track the same to closure and make sure your problem is addressed.
• Don’t forget the ample papers you were asked to sign and accept while you were new to the company, likewise you too have the right to ask for those papers which has the policies included where it states that, you have the right to raise your voice against any kind of harassment or discrimination at workplace. Keep those documents handy so that they can be produced before them, to make them aware they actually exist and that you have the right to take any kind of serious action against them.

Maternity leave isn’t a PRIVILEGE , it’s her RIGHT.

It’s your right to stand against any ill treatments or discrimination at workplace. Be transparent and feel free to put forth your concerns when you face such situations. We all know the “Magnificent Mary“. This is how women are when determined enough. Remember, you can create wonders if you seriously make yourself strong. Working mom usually start with great chunks of time thinking “This is impossible…” and when she gets over it, she keeps going and never stops, and finally she sort of achieves what once was impossible to achieve!

The post Faced discrimination at workplace during maternity period? appeared first on JumpWhere.

Yes, the day starts with a planning to welcome any kind of surprises. “Inform on reaching“ – we get this message in our mobile everyday without fail by our loved ones. Even now, at least once in a day a girl worries about how her day would go or end.

For example:

• A woman is still tensed once she is in the cab thinking where would she be taken to.
• A woman still needs to have her eyes on the route where her driver is heading.
• A woman still needs to be away from those jerks who would otherwise be welcomed and so on.

What has still not changed is the threat of being harassed. The need for security is increasing even in this digital era. This cruel world is crossing all its limits with days adversely affecting a girl’s freedom! We all need to come together and take measures for making her feel more secured. Few of the companies provide cab facilities but they should also ensure that the female employee reach safely till her doorstep.

The company where a woman works should ensure to take standard measures to maintain her safety. What if there is no cab facility from your office? How do you ensure you are safe home?

• The managers / boss should ensure every team member (female) reaches home safely if its late and its their responsibility to ensure their team members safety.
• If there are no cab facilities from the company’s end, then it should provide work from home option for needful hours.
• If your company doesn’t affords cabs, it should at least have tie ups with the cabs service providers.
• I do agree we have UBER, OLA etc but if the company has tie ups, it might also fetch some kind of tracking (company’s responsibility though) and ensuring that the employees reach home safe.
• The company should organize various activities like:
  • Women Empowerment programs.
  • Training on using pepper spray and self-defense measures.

Nevertheless, we should be able to take responsibility of our-self than expecting from the company. You don’t have to be an ninja expert or have body guards with you.

Make a simple yet smart moves like:

• Train on using pepper spray and self-defense.
• Avoid working for the company who expect you to work for shift but do not provide cab facilities or security.
• Update someone regularly and constantly when you are in an rick / cab at odd times.
• Ensure you reach till door step in the presence of your cab driver.
• Most of us have smart phones. Make the best use of them:
  • Security/ safety being the utmost priority followed by Health, make sure you have related apps in your mobiles.
  • Figure out the latest cool apps which are running cabs or even any kind of vehicle helpful for women who commute in odd hours or even otherwise.
  • Running short of memory on your smart phone? Really?! Giving that reason when you are badly in need of help? Come on, prioritize your needs.

Remember! Any of the games, shopping apps or even social media apps won’t come to your rescue in odd times so think wisely.

Mobile applications like driveu, easycommute, shecabs, and so on are very handy. There are apps available which provide cabs with female drivers, with good tracking measures. Get yourself aware about the latest progress in this growing technology. Having done with this, spread this message and make your friends aware of the same.

Grow up! Make their best use. Know what’s more important to you. By taking care of yourself you are taking care of them. How long will pepper sprays work? Only until an anti-pepper product is introduced. So make yourself capable of guarding yourself as well as your kids, by training in self-defense.

Be safe and Inform on Reaching!!

Am sure every working woman who is also managing her family could relate to this. Tough job indeed! Working moms, women balancing home and work, are always on HOT SEAT!!

First and foremost, hats off to all the ladies out there. So, sit back and take a bow! Definitely not an easy challenge at all. But nothing is impossible.

I am sure everyone of you want to feel proud about having

• A happy family
• Me-time!
• Great career
• Holidays

In short, be a SUPER WOMAN!!

Family versus Career is no more a new worry. It’s quiet common and can be easily tackled provided you choose the right road-map. Be firm with your decisions come what may. You cannot get everyone into your shoes always and explain them but just like nothing else can take up the salt’s place in the dish, same way no one else can take your place.

When a woman gets back to work within few weeks after wedding or returns after maternity leaves leaving her 3 months baby at home, there are ill-speakers who would point out how bad mother you are. No one recognizes your passion towards career. Don’t be guilty. Here is where your family’s and husbands support is most handy and needed. If you got their back, that’s awesome else you would be little left back but have a firm belief and that will work for you.

Having discussed all this, what is the approach you got to follow to be a super Woman? There are many ladies out there who have built their own empire successfully!

Also read: Women also need stress free weekend

10 things what every SUPER WOMAN should keep in mind to win her family as well as work!

1. Planning matters a lot. You should first take a deep breath and prioritize your tasks for the day. Yes just for the day!
2. Plan your hours by dividing into two (office and home). Say, 8-9 hours for office and the rest for home.
3. Now coming to the office part, don’t mess up things by increasing your task lists. Though you have a long list, pick those four P1 (Priority 1) tasks.
4. Estimate these four tasks and finish them ASAP. Then take up another 4 tasks (P2) and complete that and so on. At the end of the day, You would be worry-free as the most important ones are already completed.
5. Keep aside 1 hour for miscellaneous / refreshment (Tea / coffee break, lunch break, chit chats). Is it really needed? Yes its definitely needed for few as that will be the only break in your daily routine.
6. Apart from work,  only a pen-paper / notebook / sticky notes could be your bestie. Write it down, what so ever be the task.
7. Coming to your personal life, Every second is precious. Avoid re-work. e.g. Try to do necessary shopping on your way to work or way back from office so that you don’t have to step out again separately for grocery shopping.
8. Sometimes RACE against the time i.e. Chop veggies for the next day’s bread or may be keeping your stuffs ready the previous night itself (be it what you wear, your bag, laptop, purse/wallet and usual necessary stuffs you carry).
9. Recreation makes you fresh. Keep up with one of your hobby or any of your favorite pass time. May be playing with kids, cooking or even sleeping.
10. Stay fit! Quick exercises to keep your body fit.

The post Manage both Office and Home like a SUPERWOMAN appeared first on JumpWhere.

In this 21st century, where the recession is on its peak and job market is in a bad situation where most of the people are losing their jobs due to one reason or other you need to be careful. As per the recent estimates, 30 million of American’s are out of job or employed in severe conditions.

Factors to consider whether your workplace environment ensures safety and good health

Hygiene: At first, we need to consider regarding hygiene; the workplace and its surroundings are tidy and not filthy or dirty which would affect an individual’s health.

Growth: The Company should have growth graph upwards for future so that you feel secure and there is no fear of termination without reason. So, the company should have a good profit margin where they can bear the expenses for their employees.

Women: If it is a woman, then there needs to be security which includes other’s respect for her and no harassment issue/complaints etc. Also, it is better if women take up the job whose location is easy like not in remote areas rather in the main city where access to requirements like cab, canteens etc. is at much ease.

Plan- B: Future is unpredictable, so always have plan-B in mind especially if you are the main bread earner for the family or be it for self like what if you lose this job? Other alternatives which could include:

• You doing part-time apart from just job and home
• Making any hobby turned into a business
• Taking up online based home jobs

Finally, Evaluation: Evaluate the company with respect to:

• Past records
• Status in the market
• Brand image
• Employ ability which includes treating employees well, pay procedure, fulfil all requirements, good management, proper facilities etc.

Thus, keeping all this in mind you need to work for yourself for a better future rather than just acquiring a job and feel life is done. Instead, there are many more things to be explored and thus learned.
