The society where we live believe in what most of the people are doing as the right choice irrespective of individual differences.Here majority always win. Earlier women who used to go outside for work were blamed for not caring about their families as most of them used to stay at home. Nowadays when most of the people are working, people are like “o you are not working, what happen”? And these people will make you believe like your life is finished. Social media is also a contributor here.
If I talk about me here ,firstly getting education from a college outside my hometown for four years. And doing job in Gurgaon for three years left me with nothing in life except work just like the Rihanna famous song “Work work work”.Here friend were also the colleagues .In general , work is life for our generation .
But I have something new here to add that believe me, life is much more than this.I truly believe that life without a job is also worthy .Let us explore how.
Three years before when I left my job for staying in US with my husband, everyone around me was like why I am leaving my job and even I started feeling guilty for the same. But believe me I have started living my life beautifully after leaving my job. However, this process took time.
Leaving the job
Initially I used to feel that my life has ended. There were negative thoughts all around.
I used to think that as I have nothing to do the whole day ,this will affect my career. There will be huge gap due to which it will be difficult for me to get into the job again.
Despite of living in US which is like a dream come true for many, I used to think that I have made a mistake. I remember when I used to lie on my bed the entire day. I used to irritate him also that I am not able to pass my time here.
Then one day I thought that while I was working also, I was doing those repeated things only. You learn something new initially when you start something, after that it becomes a routine. At the end, it is only a boring activity where excitement is only left in getting the salary.To realize something what life is doing to you, you need time.To think different, it is important to keep your mind idle also.
I start remembering about a workshop I attended after which I was motivated to take the decision to move to US. It was an all-women workshop in my previous company where there were women of different age groups.Some of them had 15-20 years of experience in IT. One of them shared her experience that she had a few gaps in between our career due to child or health issues. But in the end, she started her job again may be with a lower salary than before or with a lesser promotion. She said some things are important in life which cannot be ignored. If they take time, have a break and start again. This way you will not regret of missing anything. But it is important to start again.
I started learning new things in my technology as well as in other fields for which earlier there was no time. If you are frustrated easily or thinking about negative things only, it is time to learn something new. Enroll in udemy or any other online platform and start taking any course.
Slowly I realized that I have a beautiful life despite of a job to enjoy. It was like dude I have time to explore my hobbies which I could not do earlier. I started reading and working on increasing my knowledge towards different fields. See knowledge is never ending.
Learnings
Cooking was the first activity that I started because it was the need of the hour, but it unusually it came out interesting. Yes, more interesting than the work I performed in office. If you feel like this, then believe me there is no problem in believing like that. The problem is at every point, we question ourselves if this thinking is right. When everyone is talking about “if women do not want to cook, it is ok”. When nobody wants to talk about any other thing except work. Because housework is not considered a work. If you learn cooking, then it is not a thing but working as a labor in offices is work. And unconsciously it gets feed into our mind.
While cooking, if only negative thoughts and stress of work is there, will that food prove healthy to anybody. What I am saying is whether you are working or not, cooking is a work done with love. And should not be taken as a burden.So, I learned many ways to cook good and it is a necessary skill for everybody irrespective of the gender.
We engineers have generally less interest in learning finance, but I developed a strong interest in learning how to manage finances when I read various books on finance including Rich Dad’s.We are not taught financial knowledge anywhere and it is very important for everybody irrespective of the field we work.
We generally want to do jobs to keep doing something every day. So, I made a planner including tasks of my home including cooking, cleaning. Keeping time for reading so that I can learn a new thing every day, for Netflix, gym, music, sitting in nature. Do you get this much time? And you know you will feel good if you are working according to your own will. That is an actual boss in true sense, I think.
Somedays when my husband was not at home and I was feeling low. I used to hire a cab to visit nearby shopping and grocery stores. Even a single window-shopping tour can chill your mood immediately.
I like to travel so we used to plan an outing every weekend. That could be a short road trip or a meeting with friends. It could be exploring restaurants or flying to explore a new place.We used to hike trails and they are an ultimate experience. My photography skills were bad, and my husband is an excellent photographer. So, during travel I used to learn photography from him.
We have visited so many places in US in a very short period of time. And you know I miss that lifestyle now. This happens with life we are not happy anywhere. But this learning has improved me in a different sense. Life is the best teacher in fact.Now I feel less bored, alone or negative.I am able to manage my job with learned cooking and household skills .Take this pandemic for instance ,it has ended the culture of going to office for work, for many people it was difficult to pass their time.

I think that what you published was actually very logical.
However, consider this, what if you were to create a awesome title?
I am not saying your content is not good, however what if you added a title that
makes people desire more? I mean Lesson Learnt : Life without a job is also worthy.
– The Explorer diary is a little boring. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article
titles to get people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what
you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
Feel free to surf to my web-site; delta 8 THC gummies
Surely will consider.Thanks.
