What's the secret to being happy at home all day by yourself?
Liking yourself!

It doesn't matter what a housewife does at home all day, because whatever she does, she is with herself, and if she doesn't like herself then it makes whatever she does less enjoyable.
If a housewife doesn't like herself or accept herself, she can't accept her role as a housewife and she most certainly won't like being a housewife since it is part of her identity.
If a housewife doesn't like herself then it is up to her to figure out how to like herself.
Whether it is improving her skills, improving her thoughts and perspective, improving her home life, or improving herself in another way, it is up to her to take steps to figure it out so that she accepts herself and likes herself in order to be happy in her home, and happy on the inside, without depending on someone else to validate her sense of self.
A housewife doesn't have to be perfect to like herself; or wealthy, or trendy, or fashionable, or popular; many people are those things, but that doesn't mean they like themselves or can handle being alone with themselves all day.
When a housewife likes herself, it doesn't mean she has no problems in her life or that she has the best of everything; when a housewife likes herself, she makes the best of what she has -- she even makes the best of her problems!
When a housewife likes herself and accepts herself, she not only accepts her role as a housewife, but she flourishes in her role and is proud of her identity as a housewife who likes herself and loves being the one who takes care of her home and her family every day.

Thanks for reading!
Love this! My happiness secret is to respect my personality in my work as a housewife. For example, I'm an extrovert so if I need to do bigger tasks like monthly freezer meal cooking, I'll invite a friend over, not to help but just to chat. Makes everything a lot more fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and thanks for sharing your secret! That's so good, to 'respect my personality' and it's important for a housewife to understand her personality; I imagine it can be a challenge for extroverts who are home alone, and inviting someone over is a great idea! I'm an introvert and love having movies or TV shows playing while I do work; not to watch but listen to, especially when I'm in the kitchen for a good stretch of time. Making housework fun is the key!
