Born in an orthodox family, I got married at an early age immediately after my graduation. Today I am 41 yrs old, happily married with 2 kids. I proved myself a good wife, a good mother and also an ideal daughter-in-law. The kids have now grown and everybody is busy with their own life and I started feeling very lonely. Due to family obligations after marriage I could not pursue a career. But eventually I realized that it was still not too late. I convinced my husband, who in turn convinced my in-laws and I enrolled for a short term Nursery Teachers Training Course also known as ECCE Teachers Training Course and on completion took up a job. But like any beginner, I faced a lot of problems. I found it very difficult to balance between my work and personal life. I would sincerely try very hard to please everyone yet there was always friction at home. My In-laws would be unhappy despite my best efforts. The stress was too much and it started taking a toll on my health. I could barely sleep well. The evil effect of stress and pressure started manifesting as inefficiency at work, impatience and irritation. Despite all odds, I didn’t give up. I started practicing yoga and also joined meditation classes. Incorporating the breathing exercises in my daily routine gave me a new perspective of myself and made me view myself objectively. The same situations which used to cause me fatigue, insomnia and anxiety no longer did. Gradually everything started falling into its own place.
