Recession

Recession effects many women around the world right now. Not only United States are effected by the recession, but all people and women around the world.

What is woman's role in the recession?

Women are effected mostly by recession, because women are mothers, women are supporters. There are more women who have to take care of many children than there are men. Of course there are many responsible men out there, but women are great caregivers. Marriages survive only about 50% and single mothers have it even harder. This is why today I would like to focus on women in the recession.

Jobs

When a woman looses a job it can be devastating for her and her family. Most women have to shop and enjoy shopping but when economy is in a recession it can difficult times for mothers or wife or single women. If you are married you could still rely on your husband, but women without husband, or family have the hardest times. If you are a woman in a recession, asses your situation and get the best out of your circumstances that you can get.

What to do?

Take a good look at your situation and realize that you are still important even if you don't have a job right now. So many women tied their self esteem to their jobs that loosing a job can be devastating. Don't blame yourself. Realize that there are millions of women who are in a similar situation that you are in right now. Believe that everything is for the best.

It possible that your situation could open doors for you and wouldn't be otherwise open. You could do something completely different that you never thought you would do before.

Be open to different possibilities. Don't look for just one particular job but be open to different opportunities in your life. When one door closes the other door opens. You maybe can't see a whole picture yet but have faith and search it in your heart and in your life.

Love life

Learn to love life even in hard times. If your money are really tight, be happy you have a great health. Even the richest people can't have what you have right now. Or maybe you have a great family and wonderful friends. Focus on what is good in your life. Maybe your friends and family would become closer and you would experience extreme closeness because of the recession?

Maybe it's a part of your life that you need to experience right now and learn valuable lessons about yourself and life?

What not to do:

Don't become isolated and depressed. Connect to others. There are millions of people out there who need your help, your advice or just your companionship. You still have something to offer to the world and someone will appreciate what you have. We all want to be appreciate for what we do and who we are. So, remember loosing your job, you didn't loose yourself. You are still the same person that you were before. Maybe this experience can help you to be the better person you can be.

Have faith in yourself, follow your heart and try your best. You will be happy again.
