...And insha'Allah I shall increase it to 12 months & beyond! Want in? Open to everyone and yes YOU too. So, we all have our strengths and weaknesses and my weakness is that I can sometimes get caught up in my own head with my own cute lil story. I've had 4 decades of mindset challenges where alhamdulilah I have achieved a lot yet I can easily sabotage it with my negative thinking (usually happens when it's lady time and only a lady will understand that one!). This self-sabotaging can easily mess me up in all areas of my life that I've worked so hard to achieve and most of my negative thinking isn't real anyway at all - it's comfort zone comfort! For the last two years I've really worked even harder on this and have had a lot of spiritual awakenings as of it too - and accepting who I am even more (highly intuitive soul with psychic abilities for instance - there i came out and said it!). So, I'm challenging myself - and if you know me by now then you know I really do challenge myself big time - to drop all negative thinking from my system and to re-write my subconscious for goodness and positivity insha'Allah. This doesn't mean that incidents won't happen - they will - and alhamdulilah I'm blessed to deal with them strongly - but then the negative thought pattern kicks in - i 'suffer' from delayed reactions which means i'm brave in the moment for myself and my loved ones then i run away and cry under the covers where only God can see and hear my tears. I've been working harder on my mindset since November last year and now I have set myself this challenge and so far alhamdulilah. Really, I don't have anything to be ungrateful for (and neither do you) and if I'm really going to help all those who need my help and run a successful biz and have a successful life upon then deen then bismillah and let's do this! You in? I know it's a challenge and we need a lot of self-discipline but I know with God's mercy and help we can do it now!

How often do we want to escape our day to day and go on holidays for a break and when we come back we say; 'Oh i need another holiday!' I hear this all too often from busy professionals who want to escape their 'reality' then they come back and need another holiday and go back to work all tired and moody again. So, what were they escaping from in the first place? What you run away from will chase you! What you resist persists. Now this doesn't mean i'm against holiday making - i just don't understand the mentality of some who are blessed to take a break and see some beautiful places in the world yet they are still ungrateful and moody to go back to work. If you don't like your work then why are you still there? Who is forcing you? You have freedom of choice you know to make better decisions for your life - for your duniya and akhirah. Oh, you have bills to pay? We all do - and so do i! There are many people who go day in day out without food yet many of us, especially in the west, are ungrateful for all that we have subhan'Allah! And besides the necessities who said we need 20 phone lines or the newest flat screen tv or technological gadget? Of course you can afford it, alhamdulilah for that, and of course you can gift yourself but i think we need to stop for a second and really search within now. Instead of looking for an escape to go on holidays and then still be dissatisfied when we come back how about we stop for a moment and travel within and really get to know what's happening beneath the surface because if we leave it be it will come back to bite us and bite us real bad! It will eventually catch up and we'll have a break down. Get to know your emotions and why you do what you do. Give your soul a chance to heal now. You can't move on and live in your present and prepare for your awesome future if you keep looking back. Your past is exactly just that - past. There is a lesson in it for you to learn - now's the time to learn it and get moving on. You owe it to yourself. How long will you continue with those painful memories? What purpose do they really serve? You know you're worth more than your current reality! You're simply one thought away from letting go and releasing yourself from those shackles. If the Angel of Death came to you now is this how you want to return to God? Hasn't God given you life? Hasn't He given you the ability to make things happen for you? Stop torturing yourself right now and get living the life you want. Start by clearing the junk in your head and filling it with goodness. You know if you keep eating junk food you're gonna fall ill right? Toxic thoughts do just that - make you junk and God didn't create you no junk He created you awesome. Begin now and travel within. Make a promise to get rid of those negative habits and behaviour, start to create some positive changes now and then you'll enjoy your holiday making break properly AND you'll always be on an emaan-high too! :) "To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment." Eckhart Tolle ...YOU are NOT a mistake! God created you for a reason - for a purpose. Each moment is teaching you a lesson and this lesson is shaping up the human you are meant to be - the human you are being right now. The only thing is how you perceive it and how you react. This will determine your path in life and what you achieve. I know It hurts deep and it's confusing - especially when it happens over and over again and you just don't get it and you're like why me?! God will give you the same lesson over and over until you are ready to learn the lesson and move on. You give meaning to whatever is happening in your life right now but God only gives us what we can handle. Even a prick of a thorn is a purification but for some it shatters them completely - it all depends on how YOU want to perceive it now. It all depends on how you control your thoughts and we can control our thoughts - don't let them control you. Your unique purpose is unique to you and God ultimately created you to worship Him alone. We are on a journey - this journey will take us back home - back to God and His Heaven. Each moment is our only moment and this moment, my dearest diamond soul, is all you and i have - how will YOU use this moment? Do not fear or lose hope or despair - close your eyes, focus on your breathing and let the Light into your soul. God is with you...always and forever. It's time to create those positive changes in our life, live upon the deen and prepare for our best akhirah now. It's time to live a life on purpose with purpose. Take a deep breath in - release and now receive love, duas and light. Hope this helps on your journey now! :) Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an; "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me (alone)" [partial, 51:56] How do you deal with your emotions? Are you 'releasing or recycling?' So i just learnt about this concept. When we are dealing with any of our challenges we are either actively releasing our emotions or recycling them. Releasing is when we have dealt with our emotions - actively - and time span is different for us all as we are all different - and then we get to a stage where we release our emotions and we begin to heal. This is when you start to feel ease, peace and calm within and you are actively getting on with your life - no more random tear sessions when hearing that song or seeing that picture. Recycling is the stage where we keep repeating and repeating. We go through the whole 'Why' syndrome and is something i have also done and sometimes i have deliberately allowed myself to stay down this road longer than i should have and i have 'suffered' the consequences and yes suffering is optional - we have within us the ability to switch into the now and be OK only if we give ourselves permission. Many people stay stuck in the recycling stage and so did i - especially in my teens and twenties. I guess it's because it is comforting - as in we get used to our comfort zone and don't want to stretch ourselves but deep inside we know that if we do stretch ourselves we will learn and grow. Releasing one's emotions doesn't happen overnight - especially when it involves the loss of a loved one. We naturally go through phases to understand it all and be OK. Another thing is that many times we - yes females and males - were brought up to just 'deal with it and get over it' yet that same person would be eating their own words (we've all experienced that). Healing begins as soon as we accept that God has something awesome planned for us and that He does not burden our souls more than we can handle and that He already knows we can handle it and He is looking at our response - whether we'll be grateful or ungrateful and how we will react. Healing begins when we understand our emotions and what triggers us and we realise that we have the power to change our state by changing our thoughts as we create our thoughts and we can direct them where we want. Healing begins when we let go and let God. I hope this helps! :) So i was in my front garden looking at my gorgeous and newly cut hedge when i noticed some dead leaves in there. They were brown and crumpled up and so i decided to clean it up and started picking them out one by one. As i started to clean it up there seemed to be more buried in the hedge deeply - so i thought OK no worries, let me pick them out too. I continued and as per usual now i was in a rush to get to the end of the hedge so my shoulders dropped and i was like 'urgh, hurry up already' - my gorgeous freshly cut hedge started to feel slightly over-bearing - but i still continued because it was somewhat therapeutic too - you know, how you do things and just let your mind relax to whatever and wonder about... As i continued i noticed i missed some bits here and there so i went back to pick them out and then this kind of continued for about a few minutes. I kept missing bits or they were buried deep within. It was at this exact moment i had one of those epiphany/ah-ha/breakthrough moments! I just stopped and allowed it all to sink it for a few moments. I rush to get things done to get to the end of the line - not so i am a winner - but just because i'm in a rush to get things done that i miss out some of life's finer details - those which can seriously benefit me in the long term. ..... DEEP! Have you ever had this happen to you too? We think we have got rid of those negative thoughts, that bad relationship/friendship, disempowering habit and we are starting fresh but we sometimes miss the finer details or we think that once we have made this change then that is it, we won't need to put any more effort into it as magically everything will always be OK from this point. I mean, how many times have we started to pray all of our prayers on time and we feel like a hero only to slowly slip back into that bad routine again? Why? Because we were not consistent with it and we did not stay with it long enough to make sure we continue with it successfully. We also may fall into this trap where we think we got rid of that bad habit or relationship yet fall into a similar type of habit or relationship again? Why? Because we missed out on the finer details of really clearing up the clutter - the clutter which is within us and so the same patterns keep appearing. I was just out enjoying the sun and admiring the freshly cut hedge when Allah wanted me to learn a real big lesson in life! Subhan'Allah! I need to learn to pace myself, i need to learn to be more consistent and i need to learn to work on those habits - if i get rid of something i need to search within and see where i need to work on and heal so i don't create the same habits in other areas and create lasting and positive change insha'Allah. "Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding." [Qur'an; 3:190] Allah is always showing us signs and teaching us lessons through it - are we ready to learn and answer His call? I hope this helped in your journey right now. Let me know in the comments below what resonated with you the most :) Start your journey here with instant soul therapy and heart relief! ...Open your heart and let 'The Light' through. Too many of us are 'suffering' from various challenges (problems/issues). And then we turn to social media for some solace or relief - which can, sometimes, be more detrimental than helpful! 'He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah , and I know from Allah that which you do not know.' [Qur'an; 12:86] partial Suffering is optional - we have the ability to change our state instantaneously. The more we 'think' about these things the more our heart is 'clogged' up with the unnecessary. Energy flows where intention goes. Where is your intention going? Sure enough that is where your energy is flowing and it is either healthy for you or sucking your life away. You don't have to be 'stuck' in that pain no more because challenges have solutions. Too many of us are addicted to drama and get our love and comfort through it. This is victim mentality and self-sabotage. You are better than this and your awesome life awaits you now. Now is the time to let go and let God. Now is the time to open your heart and let The Light through. Now is the time to start creating those positive changes in your life, live upon the deen and prepare for your best akhirah. You were created for excellence and in the best form - so do everything with excellence. God is with you now and as soon as you let go and turn your face to Him (swt) - He (swt) will open your heart, pour light through it and guide you to your destiny. Ready to begin living your awesome life now? "O Allah, I am Your slave and the son of Your male slave and the son of your female slave . My forehead is in Your Hand (i.e. you have control over me) . Your Judgment upon me is assured and Your Decree concerning me is just . I ask You by every Name that You have named Yourself with , revealed in Your Book , taught any one of Your creation or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You , to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness and the reliever of my distress." (Hadith Ahmad) It's time to live a life on purpose with purpose. Take a deep breath in - hold - breathe out - relax and be open to receiving love, duas and light now. Feel that? I hope this helps and let me know in the comments below what resonated with you the most. I don't know if this is what you want right now but I created this audio program with you in mind and right now is the last time to get it at the introductory offer. Click here to read more! Recently I've been working this whole 'Let Go & Let God!' concept i.e. whilst keeping full tawakul in Allah and working hard, handing it all over to Him (swt) and asking Him (swt) to do the best and being ready and prepared to accept whatever is sent my way. I have to say i'm in one of my very calm and relaxed modes and allowing whatever to happen, happen. I'm loving it! "Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allah." {Qur'an; 6:79} You may be hurting right now and it's real painful and no one gets you. I know how that feels as I'm one of those who always had a challenge expressing my feelings - even to friends. Oh and then sometimes you get laughed at or ignored - like your issue ain't no big deal. But it is a big deal to you - I know! And the thing is that social media has become so accessible that we turn to it for minute details and instant comfort. But we know this instant 'comfort' doesn't last. So, what now? You're still hurting and still want answers right? Listen, if you're facing some challenges right now and just want an answer or an opening to something new or just some peace then i say do what i do; 'Let Go & Let God' - for this moment is all we have and this moment could be our last - as when all is said and done, to Him we belong and to Him is our return! 'Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah , and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."' {Qur'an; 3:173} I hope this helps and let me know in the comments below what resonated with you the most and how you'll be moving forward with this message now :) You know i'm here to help you insha'Allah.

God Bless You!) Giving ourselves permission to just 'BE' seems alien to most people. In my workshops and coaching this is one of the first concepts i cover and many have appreciated exploring this area and working through it. They all get instant transformations walhamdulilah. Why do we forget about this concept? Because we get caught up in our day to day and don't stop to breathe and take in the silence. And because of this we have constant soul and heart ache and we don't understand what has gone loopy for us. When faced with such challenges we may hit social media to get some therapy or reassurance. Wrong place! All we need to do is learn to silence our mind. Let go of everything and anything that doesn't serve our soul and our true purpose. Eternal happiness comes from living our souls purpose - worshipping God. So, with this in mind, live your awesome life now, make those positive changes and prepare for your best afterlife. Let go and let God. Call on God for He (swt) is listening to your call. "And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided." partial Qur'an 2; 186 Turn inwards and reconnect with your soul and talk to your Creator - this will help your soul to heal. But many of you reading this won't take it on board! Why? Because we are just addicted to drama and drama gives us attention and comfort! We are fooling no one except ourselves here. Anas (radhiallahu anhu) said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) say: “Allah the Exalted said: “O son of Adam! As long as you invoke Me and plead to Me, I will forgive you whatever you have committed, and I will not make much of it. O son of Adam! If your evil deeds reach the borders of the sky, and then you ask Me for forgiveness, I will forgive you. O son of Adam! If you bring forth the earth full of errors, then you meet Me while you do not associate anything (or anyone) with Me, I will bring forth for you its full of forgiveness.” [At-Tirmidhee (Shaikh Albanee rendered it as Hasan)] If there is one piece of advice which i can give you after studying and practicing personal and spiritual peak performance for the last 20 years then it is this; 'You will always be a daily work in progress and each step will take you closer to your ultimate final destination.
