Lo Mama Unomyalezo Wabantu Abamhlazisayo Ngokusebenza
-Delile
Ukuthola isikhathi sokuvivinya umzimba kungaba nzima. Imisebenzi, imisebenzi yomndeni, amashejuli omphakathi, nezinye izibopho eziningi kungangena kalula endleleni. Kepha akekho owazi umzabalazo kangcono ukwedlula omama abamatasa. Kusukela ekushoneni kwelanga kuze kube sekushoneni kwelanga, omama basesikhathini esingesihle "ngesikhathi samahhala", ngakho-ke ukuzenzela isikhathi, ingasaphathwa eyokuzivocavoca kungazizwa kungenakwenzeka. Njengomama omatasatasa ngokwami ngiyazi ukuthi ukwenza noma yini edingekayo ukuze uhlale usebenza-noma ngabe lokho kusho ukucindezela amalanga noma ama-push-up noma kuphi nanoma nini - kubaluleke kakhulu.
Kungakho-ke, eminyakeni emine eyedlule, ngasungula i-Living Room Workout Club, umphakathi oku-inthanethi wabomama abafuna ukwenza isikhathi sokusebenza kwabo, noma ukwehlisa isisindo sengane, noma bazizwe bephilile futhi benethezekile esikhunjeni sabo futhi. Ngebhulogi, amaqembu amaningana e-Facebook, namagumbi okuhlangana angokoqobo, ngakha amavidiyo wokujima futhi ngize ngisakaze ukujima okuthile bukhoma, ukuze sindawonye, sisekelane futhi sikhuthazane. (Funda kabanzi mayelana nokuthi kungani ukujoyina iqembu losekelo ku-inthanethi kungakusiza ekugcineni ufinyelele imigomo yakho.)
Ngangazi ukuthi kwakunzima kangakanani komama ukuzibekela isikhathi sabo. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngangingumama omusha, ngisebenza isikhathi esigcwele njengothisha, futhi ngakha ibhizinisi lami lokuqeqesha eceleni. Into yokugcina engangifuna ukuyenza kwakuwukuchitha isikhathi esengeziwe ejimini kanye nesikhathi esengeziwe ngikude nendodana yami ewusana. Ukuphela kwendawo engangikwenza ngayo kwakusekhaya egumbini lami lokuphumula, ngisebenza ngesikhathi sokuphumula noma naye edlala eceleni kwami. Ngikwenze kwasebenza.
Lokho kusebenza okusebenzayo futhi okusebenzayo engizenzele kona egumbini lami lokuphumula kwaba yisisekelo se-Living Room Workout Club. Omama emhlabeni wonke, ngomlingo wokusakazwa kwevidiyo, baqala ukungijoyina cishe besuka emagumbini abo okuhlala isikhathi sokujuluka semizuzu engu-15 kuye kwengama-20. Saqala ukuyenza isebenze ngokubambisana.
Ukusheshisa phambili, futhi ukuphathwa kwempahla kushintshile kancane. Manje nginomfana okhuthele oneminyaka engu-4 ubudala, sihlala kunqola yokuhamba engamamitha angu-35, futhi ngisesikoleni sasekhaya ngenkathi sihamba isikhathi esigcwele emsebenzini wesoka lami. Ngidinga ukwenza konke ukujima kwami ngaphandle. Igumbi lami lokuhlala elingamamitha ama-6 kuya kwangu-4 lingena ngezinsuku ezibandayo noma ezinemvula, kepha uma kungenjalo, ngijuluka kakhulu epaki, enkundleni yokudlala, noma cishe noma yikuphi.
Lapho ngiqala ukwenza ushintsho egumbini lami lokuphumula elinethezekile, elizimele, ngazizwa ngendlela exakile Okuningi ehlukanisiwe. Ebaleni lokudlala, ngangizimisa ngiqhelelene nabanye omama ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngazizwa ngingakhululekile ukusebenza lapho, ngicabanga ukuthi ngabe bayangibuka yini.
Ngabona ukuthi ukungabaza kwami kwaqhamuka kulokho engangikubona njengombono womphakathi ngabesifazane abasebenza ezindaweni zomphakathi. Ngibuye ngacabanga ngesithombe engisibone sisakazeka ku-inthanethi: Indoda ibithathe isithombe sikamama ezivocavoca emdlalweni webhola lendodana yakhe wasifaka ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ethi, "Kungaba yini okungalungile kimi ukumtshela ukuthi bonke ubaba ebholeni likanobhutshuzwayo ucabanga ukuthi umi ngaphambili nentambo yakhe yokweqa amahora amabili kuphela ememeza ethi ufuna ukunakwa? Futhi ngiyacabanga nje ukuthi omama bebhola bacabangani."
Kwabe sekuba nenye indaba mayelana nomama othumele ividiyo yakhe ezivocavoca kancane emaphaseji eTarget. Ukuphawula okungekuhle kweza ngezinkulungwane. "Le yinto ehlekisa kakhulu engake ngayibona," kusho omunye umuntu. "Ungangiphathi kabi ngokuzulazula emaphaseji ngenkathi ngiphuza ama-doodle eshizi," kubhala omunye. Omunye ophawulile umbize "ngohlanya."
Yize kunjalo, amaphasishi eThagethi noma inkundla yebhola lezinyawo ingase ingabi izindawo ezikahle zokujima, lokho akuniki noma ubani ilungelo lokuhleka usulu labo mama-okungase kube ukuphela kwenketho yangempela yalaba besifazane ngaleso sikhathi.

Akubona nje abantu abazondayo abacasha ngekhibhodi futhi. Ngizibonele mathupha, nami. Ngesinye isikhathi, owesifazane wangimemeza lapho ngizungeza imilenze yami ebaleni lokudlala, "Ngizoyeka! Usenza sibukeke kabi sonke!"
Lezi zinkulumo ezingezinhle zazilokhu zingena ekhanda lami enkundleni yokudlala. Ngazibuza, "Ingabe bacabanga ukuthi ngizama ukubukisa?" "Bacabanga ukuthi ngiyasangana?" “Ingabe bacabanga ukuthi nginobugovu ngokusebenzisa isikhathi sakhe sokudlala wami Zivocavoce?"
Kulula kakhulu ukuthi omama baqale ukwehla ukuzithemba mayelana nokuba ngumzali, nokuthi ukuzinakekela kuhambelana kanjani nalokho. Ngemuva kwalokho, ukufaka ingcindezi yalokho abanye abantu abakucabangayo ngaphezulu kwakho? Umama-wecala angakhubaza!
Kodwa uyazi ukuthini? Ngubani okhathalelayo ukuthi ubani obukayo? Futhi ubani onendaba nokuthi bacabangani? Ngithathe isinqumo sokuthi yonke ingxoxo engemihle ngeke ingivimbe futhi nayo akufanele ikuyekise. Ukuzinakekela kubalulekile, futhi ukuqina komzimba kuyingxenye enkulu yalokho. Ukuvivinya umzimba njalo kunezinzuzo eziningi kakhulu kunokumane nje wakhe isinqe esiqinile, yize kuyibhonasi ethandekayo leyo. (Bheka futhi: I-30-Day Butt Challenge) Izinzuzo zezempilo zihlekela cishe kuzo zonke izici zempilo yakho. Ngeke nje ube namandla futhi ube namandla amaningi okuhambisana nezingane zakho, uzonciphisa ukucindezeleka, ukhulise imizwa yakho, futhi wandise amandla akho (ukukhwehlela nokubekezela). Ukuzivocavoca kukwenza ube ngcono kuwe, ukuze ube ngumama ongcono.
Okusemqoka ngamazwi aphikisayo ahlala ezwakala kakhulu. Abantu abaningi banezaba ezigxilile zokuthi kungani bengakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wokuzivocavoca ezimpilweni zabo. Lapho bebona abanye ngaphandle bekwenza kusebenze (yebo, ngisho nasenkundleni yokudlala), ukusabela kwabo emadolweni ukuthola okuthile okungahambi kahle ngakho. Kodwa ngilapha ukuzokutshela ukuthi amazwi akhuthazayo akhona, futhi. Ungakhuthaza abanye buthule ngokufakazela ukuthi ungathola izixazululo zokudala ukwenza isikhathi sakho nempilo yakho.
Futhi khumbula, lapho wenza umsebenzi ubaluleke kakhulu, ulingisa ukuziphatha okunempilo kwezingane zakho. Nibafundisa ukuthi impilo nesikhathi "nami" singasetshenzelwa kanjani kunoma yisiphi isimo. Ngolunye usuku lapho sebengabantu abadala abamatasa, bazokwazi ngesibonelo sakho ukuthi yini edingekayo ukuze kwenziwe konke.
Uyabona, ukuzinakekela akuyona into okufanele uyenze Ngaphezu kwe ukuba ngumzali, kunjalo ingxenye lokuba ngumzali. Uma uqala ukucabanga ngakho ngaleyo ndlela, kulula ukuthi ungaweqi ukujima.
Lapho ngiqeda ukujikeleza kwami ebaleni lokudlala, indodana yami ithi "Ophumelele nguMama!" futhi unginikeza aphezulu amahlanu. Futhi ngiyakhumbula ukuthi izwi lakhe libaluleke kakhulu. Ngakho-ke kuthiwani uma kwenza isixuku se-bleacher sibonakale sibi? Wamukelekile ukujoyina nami.
