Let's get ready for the month of Ramadan

With Ramadan around 15 days away, let's gear up for the blessesd month

Why to get ready for Ramadan?
So you have maximum time for Ibadah and don't waste your time and energy in mundane tasks.

Over the next few days, I'll be sharing the ways I prepare myself and my home for Ramadan.

The things I prepare ahead of time to spend less time in the kitchen

The recipes that are my go-to for Iftaar and Sahar

So stay tuned...

Arw you done with your preps? Share your preps for the month in the comments below.

Okay... So @instagram has been a place where people share bits of their lives and we consume that content

Being a part of the content creating community and more of the consuning community, I have my favorites picked out here

These are the accounts that really, really motivates me to face life even if it's not going too well.

Among these are two women who have uplifted me so much through there content and I feel so close to them (despite being them not even being aware of my presence on this planet, perhaps lol)

Khair, it was quite hard to pick up some accounts as there are so many amazing ladies, doing so much, contributing in adding values to our lives.

But here are the ones I tune into daily, going through their stories, posts, IGTVs.

1. @thehrmommy - Omaira baji is my go to. Filling you with energy on your dull days, adding that perfect touch of humor and deep thoughts here and there. With keeping things as realistic as possible and going out of her way to help is just amazing, to say the least.

2. @themeinm0mmy - Shaharbano is the lioness who uplifts you, respects you and keep things extremely raw and real. She manages her kids, husband, home and a full time job MashaAllah. The power woman if there is ever one. What attracts me more to her content is her way of dealing strategically with people who are very intruding and staying collective in situations where I would likely pass out. 😂

3. @mumsthewordpk - as her tagline says 'Sharing the mom reality'; her account is all about real mom life with focus on personal achievements and growth as well. A really humble person who shares her wins as well as her struggles. My most favorite (and helpful) part is her daily menu sharing stories 😂 and her cooking and workout stories really motivate me to get off my butt

Do follow these amazing ladies, if you don't till now and let me know how you connect with them

P. S. There's one more, my most favoritest that I have saved her for a post of it's own.
Can you guess who she is?

Ikigai _ Japanese philosophy of finding your purpo

Ikigai _ Japanese philosophy of finding your purpose and living a meaningful life

I came across this word through @lavendaire 's video.
Upon searching I cane across this book.

A short and wisdom filled book, focusing the life of Japanese, specifically Okinawans, living in the blue zone having the highest life expectancy.

The book discusses the practices that Okinawan's follow and believe to be the reason for their healthy, active, purpose filled lives

A nice read with simple every day practices that anyone can add to their days and live meaningful lives.

Sooo... I am back from the break (which no one noticed btw..)

Tau khair, I was feeling immensely overwhelmed, frustrated, not being able to catch up with everything, so I took a break
.
Not only from Instagram, but also from my other jobs. ( For those who don't know; I work as a content creator, writer, web developer and nutritionist)
.
These feelings have been building for quite some time but the fibal blow came when my new start up marketplace got a blow (another story for another time)
.
Khair. I paused every single thing. Stopped. I was so full of self doubt that I didn't want to continue anything. Anything
.
But the break refreshed me
.
I stopped posting and consuming every type of content online (except for insta stories of my fav accounts )
.
I read books purely for pleasure, did loads of journaling, coloring (because I love to color), deep cleaned each and every nook & corner of my space and
Ah... I feel so new, so fresh.
.
In the end, I would say take break,. Whenever you feel like taking one.
Your sanity matters more.
The world will go on without you but you can not continue without you
.
Give importance to yourself
Celebrate yourself.
Celebrate you.

Have the courage to be imperfect.
You don't need to be perfect
.
Perfect is an illusion
.
Strive for best
Put your best foot forward
Do maximum
.
Remember, progress matters
.
Perfection leads to procrastination
.
So strive for the best possible, not the perfect result.
.
Happy Day!

As discussed in yesterday's stories; here are some tips to set up your back to work routine
.
If you've taken a career break previously and now want to join the corporate bandwagon again or if you're starting for the first time, these tips are going to help you
.
1. Establish A morning routine

Plan out your mornings so things go well. Mornings are a busy time with everyone getting ready for the day so a little planning goes a long way. Establish a routine. Estimate time for getting ready, using bathrooms, prepping and having breakfast, as well as dealing with emergency situations (spills, puncture, tantrums, over snoozing, etc). Once you have a time frame, work your way backwards so you wake up at a time that will help you get things done without rushing and losing your mind!
.
2. You need to set some goals for your personal and career growth.

You may need to work on your personal grooming, HR, public speaking, or anything. Set short & long term goals and start working on them
.
3. Learn to Plan. You can use a simple notebook, a planner , calendar, anything that helps you manage your schedule.
.
The traditional pen and paper way or the tech savvy digital way, have a planner and set it up in a way that works for you.
.
Planning ahead helps you to tame your schedule & avoid over scheduling conflicts.
.
4. Define Some Boundaries. Set limits for yourself as well as for others. Be your own guard. You're a grown up so act like one. Avoid gossip and focus on your growth. Limit your gadget use so you can better manage your time and focus on your work. Set priorities for yourself. Have your activities scheduled and work accordingly. You need to be proactive to stay ahead of the game
.
5. Your Mind & Body Matters. A healthy mind and body is going to keep you active and energetic. Fuel your body with nutritious food. Avoid lazing around. Work on your physical and mental health. Take time out to rest and reset
.
Going back to work is not an easy transition. It takes time and effort on everyone's part. You need to manage time better and work smarter.
.
Figure out what works best for you and your family and work accordingly

Independence over dependence anyday . You can depe

Independence over dependence anyday
.
You can depend on others for your needs but at least be independent enough to fulfil your wants
.
If you are financially dependent on your father/ husband and can't go out to work, still you can do a lot at home wothout being dependent on them
.
You can even work from home and be financially independent
.
Dependence could be a choice not an excuse or 'majboori'
.
Depend on your ownself to get your work done
.
You can do it
.
Learn to be independent
Have your own identity
.
Being independent doesn't equal to being selfish or careless
.
It shows your strength
.
You can be humble and still be independent
.
