Every housewife from time to time feels that she is tired of household chores. There is apathy and dissatisfaction. And this certainly affects the relationship in the family. Trying to ignore the “housewife crisis” is a disastrous affair. You should look the problem in the eye and try to solve it.
Revise your approach to everyday life.
You can react differently to fatigue and dissatisfaction: get angry, complain, swear, endure, go inside yourself. But usually an emotional reaction does not give a positive result. A solution to the problem must be approached constructively. If you are tired of home routine, it means that you are doing something wrong. Take your sensations as a signal to action. You definitely need a change.
- Organizational moments
If you have to do the cleaning often and for a long time, most likely your homework is not organized properly.
For example, you are forced to wash the floor every day and clean the carpet from wool. These problems can be solved in another way. Use a door mat and brush to comb out the animal. You will spend 10 times less time on cleaning. Is there rubbish on the floor? Put baskets in each room. A mess on the desk and cupboard? Get organizers, where each group of things will have its own cell.
- Outside help
As a rule, those mistresses who have shouldered absolutely all life on their shoulders burn out faster. This cannot be done, especially if you are also working. Distribute responsibilities among family members. Children may well take out the trash, wipe off the dust and water the flowers, the husband can buy food and wash the dishes after dinner. And some men just cook wonderfully. Do not be greedy and delegate part of the household chores to your loved ones.
- New technology
Modern technologies have significantly facilitated the work of a housewife. A dishwasher, a washing machine, a robot vacuum cleaner, a slow cooker can do the work for you. An iron-steam generator will facilitate ironing, washing the air will reduce the amount of dust in the house. Think about acquiring new technology. With it you will be less tired.
Reboot
Life flies at a crazy speed, and people willy-nilly have to do a lot of things. Work, children, husband, order in the house, personal care, - today a woman has a lot of responsibilities. Forces are exhausted and do not have time to recover in the turmoil. Like an old computer, a woman freezes up on tiredness and dissatisfaction with herself. Need to reboot!
- Vacation
Remember: when was the last time you really rested? Have you traveled? Enjoyed the sun and the gentle sea? Did you go skiing? Have a rest in a house in the forest? Each person needs to periodically distract from the home routine and accumulate strength. Take a vacation and reward yourself for your daily work. You deserve it.
- New emotions
When we are inspired, household chores are carried out as if by ourselves, on the machine. You will not notice the routine if your thoughts are busy with something very exciting. Find a new hobby. Try shooting at a shooting range, a salsa club, cake baking courses. Finally get a Labrador or Sphinx. Take care of what you have long dreamed of.
- "Doing nothing"
There is a special technique against apathy and laziness in psychology. You need to lie on the sofa and do nothing - at all. Do not limit yourself in time. Just relax and relax. At the same time, absolutely no actions can be performed: reading, watching TV, talking on the phone. All muscles should be relaxed.
Most people cannot continue the experiment for more than an hour. Rest seems so desirable only when you cannot afford it. And when he is there, use it as much as you want, the brain begins to demand some kind of activity. And the thought of the need for cleaning and washing no longer seems so pointed.
Combine business with pleasure
In parallel with household chores, you can and should receive pleasant emotions. It is no secret that women are able to do several things at once.
You can combine cleaning and cooking with your favorite activities:
- turn on the music;
- chat with your girlfriend on the phone;
- apply a mask to hair or face;
- include your favorite TV show, series;
- listen to the audiobook.
Do it right now!
There is no magic recipe for fatigue. Each mistress overcomes the crisis in her own way. But there are a couple of ways to feel better today:
- Arrange a "fasting day." One day a week devote entirely to relaxation.
- Indulge yourself delicious. Order pizza, rolls, buy a delicious cake or chocolate bar. From delicious food, hormones of happiness are produced.
- Stop demanding too much from yourself. You cannot be perfect in everything - this is a direct path to fatigue.
- Separate the grain from the chaff. Choose the main points that you will perform: wash the floor once a week, wipe the dust 2 times a week, carry out general cleaning once a month. All. Do not wipe or wash here and there every day.
Routine is contraindicated in women. From it the light in the eyes goes out, shoulders drop, the smile disappears. You need to do household chores with ease and pleasure. If the hostess is happy with herself and life in general, then the rest of the family are also happy! And it doesn’t matter that somewhere behind the sofa lies an uncleaned piece of paper.
