What to hide ... we do not have much free time. We work full time, that is at least 8 hours, and sometimes even more. For purchases, cleaning, cooking, our compatriots take another 3-4 hours a day, whereas the average Frenchwoman or Englishwoman takes half the time. Therefore, it is not surprising that when all matters are settled, we willingly sit down on the couch in front of the TV. Yes Yes! This is we raise the rating of questionable TV shows, TV shows and other programs - about 70% of viewers of such programs are women.
"This is not for me"
But in the depths of the soul this state of affairs does not suit us. At some point we understand that it is necessary to find time in our busy schedule only for ourselves. And outside the house, where constantly someone wants something from us. Once or twice a week, and sometimes for the whole weekend, we want to "turn off" from the domestic routine, tell the family: "My favorites, order yourself a pizza", close the door behind you and ... live for yourself! Most of us are still at the stage of realizing that we generally have our own needs. We are hampered by guilt, that we spend time on our own interests or pleasures. Many women are afraid that by doing themselves, they will not be such good wives or mothers. This fear can be understood. Therefore, we all need the support of someone who will convince us that everything will be the other way around. And when we finally believe in it, we will willingly take up our own development. What are we looking for when we leave the house? A lesson that will please us. It is desirable, in a society of other women, with whom we will be comfortable to communicate. Often it is difficult for us to take the first step, we do not know where to begin. Many women, even if they realize themselves at work and in the family and live a quiet life without stress, still feel that they are missing something. They begin to look for opportunities to change something. Sometimes people consult our psychological counseling and they say something like this: "It seems that everything is fine in my life, but I do not feel happy." Sometimes, there is a serious problem behind such a confession. Then, after consultation, we urge the client to undergo therapy. But many of us are sent to psychological master classes, in the so-called. group development. Such activities are very popular.
Why is this necessary?
For each of us the concept of "personal development" can have a different meaning. For one, it will be a deepening into one's spiritual world, for another - training of self-confidence, for the third - new skills that will help in a career. For many of us, development, paradoxically, means a return to the interests that we once abandoned. Women have their hobbies, which after the creation of the family does not have enough time and energy. And suddenly after many years we remember that we once wanted to draw, dance ... We wake up with the thought: "After all, I was talented, I went to music school or wrote stories. I did it well! Why did I abandon everything? "Now there are more and more places where women can turn to want to do what they have a soul for. Just look at the ads in the newspaper or go to any women's portal on the Internet. And you can enter in the search engine what you would like to try. At the request of "sculpture for beginners", "dance schools", "yoga" or simply "courses" with the specification "for women" you will get hundreds of different offers. What are the hobbies most modern women choose most readily?
Find an artist in yourself
Increasingly, in our free time, we devote ourselves to art. Master classes on modeling, painting are organized not only by private offices, but also by district cultural centers, where classes are much cheaper, and sometimes even completely free. And to participate, does not necessarily have the talent, because the goal is not to become an outstanding artist, but to, just reveal yourself. Creativity is a great way to break away from everyday worries and find peace of mind, so such courses are very popular. Recently, decoupage has become especially fashionable. This is the art of decorating by gluing on patterns of paper, and then applying several layers of varnish, so that the pattern merges with the background. With this technique you can decorate any surface: wood, metal, glass. Thanks to it, ordinary objects become unique, because each time we paste patterns in different ways. There are as many styles of decoupage as its amateurs. You can succumb to the game of imagination - to combine drawings and colors, as the soul likes.
Need support!
Various psychological trainings and master classes are very popular. If earlier women were offered only to develop their sexuality and win the heart of a man, now one can find personal growth courses. Training is especially popular, helping to find harmony with one's own self. Now you can enroll in a master class that will tell you how to live in harmony with your needs and desires, overcome internal contradictions and accept yourself as you are. As a rule, such master classes are designed for several hours. But you can find trainings for personal growth, which last for 9 months! They will help, as the psychologists themselves assert, to be reborn and become different. In addition, these courses - the opportunity to meet with women who have similar problems, aspirations and interests. You can ask each other questions, share experiences and find like-minded people.
While trainings are not very common practice in Russia. But I'm sure that not a single student of the courses was left unhappy. In addition, it can be hard for us to admit that we turned to a psychologist for help. "I'm going to the training" sounds much better than "I'm going to a psychologist, because I do not want anything in life, and I can not deal with it." What psychological trainings are most popular among women? The answer is unchanged: those that improve relations with the husband and children, coping with stress. Many women, even if they achieve success in various spheres, self-esteem still remains understated, there is not enough faith in yourself. This problem, strangely enough, especially concerns women in leadership positions, where they can not admit their own weakness. Many women do not like their own body, they are embarrassed by it. Some suffer from professional dissatisfaction. Although at the same time we want to achieve success in our work. Hence the interest in various kinds of practical training - such as the art of auto-presentation or the ability to overcome stress in work. Also popular are courses on changing the image, within which you can communicate with a make-up artist or stylist and get professional advice.
The wonderful power of dance
Nothing so improves the state of health as a movement. And if the sport is not your passion, then the dance is capable of capturing each of us. Not surprisingly, there are so many dance clubs and circles all over Russia. Some even arrange classes in the fresh air. Recently, sambo and tango were in vogue, today, at the peak of the dance fashion breakdance, strip dance, returned and ballroom dance. Extremely popular now is belly dancing, which until recently no one even heard. Why did he like it so much? Belly dancing does not require physical training and a slender figure - on the contrary, the dancer should have rounded hips and tummy. This is a dance in which the dancer's pride is manifested with her body, "says instructor Veronika Govorova. Women can indulge in belly dancing regardless of age and weight. Under the influence of movements, the waist becomes narrower, the muscles of the back become firmer and more elastic. Improves coordination of movements. This type of exercise has a good effect on female internal organs, which are better supplied with blood and oxygen. Thanks to the belly dance, women begin to appreciate themselves and their figure more, become more confident. And it does not matter what size of clothes they wear! Along with dancing, yoga is experiencing its triumph today. This Indian system of philosophy and skills to breathe correctly and perform exercises (so-called asanas) regains balance both physical and emotional. For many, yoga becomes the beginning of the path to complete harmony. Today yoga classes are held even in small towns. Yoga poses can be performed in many ways depending on the age and condition of the body. They help not only to develop spiritually, but also improve the state of health: yoga positively affects even the hormonal background.
Women dominate
Fashion for personal development is a phenomenon that concerns, first of all, women. Men need to watch football or drink beer to preserve their well-being. Women have needs to constantly develop, we are interested in learning something new. For each of us, this means something of its own, but we all become bolder in our search for something that will help us to realize ourselves!
