Bad habits die hard

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It’s been a year since I have “returned” to Islam, Alhamdulillah :)

However, I found myself to be in a state of plateau 3-4 months ago and I really want to stir things up a little (in a good way I mean) and I just want to start again at my own pace. Truth be told, I hate change whether it is for the good or for the bad..I find myself hard to adjust. Thus, I want to start with something small like praying extra Salah :D

Though, I will not take a leap and start praying all the extra salah but to start with 2 rakaat before Fadjr and Witr after Isya and gradually add on more inshallah :)

I like to plan everything but I don’t necessarily follow it 100%. I stumbled upon this website and I have to admit, I honestly think it’s easy and quite feasible. So here me out brothers & sisters. IF you are trying to find a way to change or “add on” like reading an extra page of the Quran or start reading the translations but never got it or maybe you’re just in a state of plateau and just want to do something different or to stop a bad habit and etc.

Things you need to do :

1st step: you need to identify the bad habits you want to stop/rid of or start doing, make a proper list if you can.

2nd step: give yourself ample time to complete all the things on your list i.e. to complete within 1 year/3 months/6 months and etc.

3rd step: you want to take 2 or more habits on your list that you want to start doing and 2 or more habits on your list you want to stop/rid of.

For Example:

habits to start doing:

• Pray extra salah
• Drinking 2L of water a day

habits to stop:

• Watching tv series
• biting your nails

Once you get a grasp on this, continue to STOP the bad habits and continue the good habits as you go along, keep ADDING 'the things you want to do' on your list and do them within the time frame you have set for yourself :)

Simple eh? In theory, it sounds really promising and I'm truly excited to try :) if you decided to go on this journey with me, let me know! Hope this helps, Inshallah and I would like to thank Gracious pantry for the steps above, thought it was meant for people who wants to loose weight but hey it might just work on other things too :)

Sinning is like Junk Food pt II

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Remember the time you vowed to yourself that you'll exercise 6 times a week and eat healthy?

was it achieved?

if your answer is yes then Mashallah, that is amazing! :)

If your answer is no then I feel you brothers & sisters :P

Truth be told, it IS difficult to just drop your old eating habit and start a new one especially if you have difficulties in facing changes. Just like life....it is NOT easy to just let go of things that you love and work so hard on but that doesn't mean it is impossible because it is possible dearest :)

You don't need to take a leap because baby steps is enough, no one is expecting you to change overnight, take it slowly and Inshallah you'll get there.

Hang in there. don't worry, just pray <3

Guess who's back?

It’s inspiring to see people change for the good and sometimes you hope it was you. Dear brothers & sisters in Islam, please do not be afraid to take that step and yes it can be scary or at least it was for me. there’s so much things to learn, to understand, so much things to let go but I promise you once you do, you’ll realised it’s the best things you’ve done.

Let go of the people in your life that keeps you from away from Allah and find people that share the same passion as you do. Sometimes we wonder where did they get all this strength? To step out of their comfort zones and embrace Islam with open arms?

Tears roll down your cheeks reading their stories, articles and etc and how you wish you could be as strong as them.

My beloved brothers and sisters, Allah is always with you, he listens. Ask him to make it easy for you, as long as you are sincere. Inshallah J
