Holding and intensely high paced position in a company and letting go of the stress such a career creates can more than just difficult. I found it almost impossible to commute home from a job where I was in control of near 200 employees, walk in the door and be in a submissive mind set. I think the hardest part was taking my mind off all the things I had to do at work the next day, what needed to be done at home and letting go of the control I maintain and the structure I hold in daily life. Routines and schedules are how I organize my life, giving veto power to another over those is the most complex part of being submissive I encounter. Yet it is this very thing that I require so that I can free myself of constant worry, stress and tension. Being put into the position of serving, dinner, cleaning and other such types of service only made me hold on to those routines and schedules, keeping me in control of striving for perfection. What my last Dom and I found that worked best for me was to take me out of the routine, the self imposed schedules, the habits that would not allow me to let go of being in control of everyone and everything at work. Small things worked best, calling me and telling me we where eating out, or not to cook dinner until 7pm instead of the schedules 6pm. To take a bath when I got home ( instead of shower) have a glass of wine, light a candle and watch TV for 30min, get on line and answer only personal emails. Some of the things he worked out could be when the kids where around and others when they where not. Mostly it was having me let go of my agenda and adhering to his, which meant taking time for me, something I have a tendency to neglect. Being put in charge of taking care of my own needs because I was told to, let me off the hook for breaking the schedule, freeing me to feel the tenderness of my Dom, his thoughts for me thereby liberating to find the mind set required to decompress. Thus it took away the pressures of the day, work, kids and having to be in control and letting me become accountable only to him as his submissive. To have added another thing to my plate such as a ritual to be done every night would have only kept me running on the “be in charge of” mindset, instead of “he is in charge I don’t need to be”. It is all in finding what works for you… this worked for me. ~jesi~
