00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Hey guys, welcome or welcome 
back to my podcast. 

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,440
It's Machine. 
Y'all already know what time of 

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,920
year it is? 
Ramadan is literally like 3 days

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,000
away. 
If you aren't already planning, 

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
getting ready, what are you 
doing? 

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,920
You need to get started. 
But even if we plan very 

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,000
meticulously for what we're 
going to do and when we're going

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,440
to do them, a lot of the time we
end up failing and just falling 

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,600
short on our goals. 
We have way too many 

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,480
responsibilities, way too many 
different facets of our lives. 

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,920
School, whether you're in high 
school, middle school, you're in

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,000
college, maintaining your 
friendships and spending quality

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,840
time with your family. 
Maybe you have a job or you have

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,280
a younger sibling that you need 
to take care of. 

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,280
And then on top of all of that, 
you have your Ibad, your Ramadan

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,240
goals, doing everything that you
wanted to do that can get a lot 

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,840
like really fast. 
It can burn you out before 

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,360
you're even in the second week 
of Ramadan and you just feel 

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,480
extremely just done. 
You don't want to do anything 

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,560
when you shouldn't be feeling 
like that in this special month,

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,120
which is why today I'm going to 
be going over how to balance 

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,720
your life during Ramadan. 
No matter how busy your schedule

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,640
is or how many commitments you 
have. 

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,040
Here are a few tips that you can
use to hopefully lighten the 

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,640
burden that you have during this
month so that you can focus more

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,360
on your Ebada and building a 
relationship with God. 

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,280
My credentials just so y'all 
know, I'm not, I'm not a fake. 

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,920
I am currently a junior in 
college, I'm studying data 

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,920
science. 
I'm doing my bachelor's and my 

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,120
master's so I'm seeing undergrad
courses and grad courses right 

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,640
now. 
So my workload is kind of heavy.

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000
On top of that, I also do social
media. 

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Regardless of if you see that as
a job or not, to me it is a job 

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,040
and I have to put hours aside 
for that, for editing, recording

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560
even just like thinking of video
ideas. 

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,240
So that takes a lot of time. 
I also live alone, so meal 

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,600
prepping is on that list of 
responsibilities I have because 

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880
if I'm not cooking, I'm not 
eating. 

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,840
Yeah, those are I guess my 
credentials, the things I'm 

40
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,640
going to have to be balancing 
this Salamadon. 

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,680
So with that in mind, I'm going 
to be giving guys these tips, 

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,800
scheduling and time blocking. 
I know this one may seem a 

43
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,080
little basic like the why 
wouldn't I do that? 

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,800
It's like the first thing that 
comes to mind, but I really want

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,160
to stress the importance of 
literally planning your day down

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,480
to AT and make sure you have 
your day planned at least the 

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120
day before so that you know 
exactly what you're going to do 

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,960
and when you're going to do it. 
Find a calendar that works best 

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,800
for you. 
You can literally just use the 

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Calendar app on your phone. 
You can use Google Calendar if 

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,040
that's what you prefer, Outlook,
Notion calendar, that's also 

52
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,640
really good one. 
And then what you're going to do

53
00:02:57,640 --> 00:02:59,560
is you're going to schedule in 
everything. 

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,880
And when I say everything, I 
quite literally mean everything.

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Schedule what time you should be
in bed by, schedule what time 

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,360
you're going to start making a 
thought, schedule what time 

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,520
you're going to lock in for 
school, what time you have 

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,040
classes, what time you work. 
Like when I say every single 

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,920
thing, I mean every single small
thing. 

60
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,760
Like, I don't care how miniscule
it is, I want you to put that in

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,240
in there. 
And then what I want you to do 

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,160
is add a reminder to every 
single time block that you have 

63
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,880
in there and have it remind you 
10 to 15 minutes before so that 

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,600
you know that you have something
else to do in a little bit. 

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,400
That way, you stay on top of 
your game. 

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,960
You get a reminder before you 
have to do something and it's 

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,760
not just hitting you in your 
face like, oh, since when did I 

68
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,000
need to do this? 
Or Oh my God, the time passed by

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,920
so fast. 
And I didn't mention this, but 

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640
also time block. 
You're about the time block when

71
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,400
you're going to pray, time block
when you're going to read the on

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
when you're going to, I don't 
know, Quran journal, like 

73
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,920
whatever it is that is your 
goals for this Ramadan. 

74
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Input time into every single day
so that you can work towards 

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,840
those goals because that's 
honestly the most important part

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,120
of this month. 
So make sure that you have at 

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,720
least like one hour. 
If you really have a busy 

78
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,600
schedule, maybe less, but try to
have at least one hour where you

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,040
fully immerse yourself in God 
and religion and in doing about 

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,040
that, because we don't want to 
miss out on that aspect. 

81
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,600
Yes, life gets busy, but we need
to remind ourselves why we're 

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,960
here. 
And that's honestly the whole 

83
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,160
purpose of this month, to 
remember the Quran and to 

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,800
increase our worship because 
we're here for one reason and 

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,880
one reason only. 
It's extremely easy to forget 

86
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,400
that reason, but this month is 
here for us to remind ourselves 

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,560
and we should use it to our 
advantage. 

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,640
That leads me to another thing. 
Schedule in naps. 

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,480
And I say this only if you are a
nap person. 

90
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,680
I know some people they can't 
nap if they're like if you're 

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,840
going to sleep, you're going to 
sleep for like 3-4 hours maybe 

92
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,320
the whole entire day. 
Like if you're one of those kind

93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,880
of people, please don't nap like
you want to use your day to the 

94
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,040
best of your ability and not 
waste any of it. 

95
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Or if you feel worse after 
taking a nap. 

96
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,080
I feel like sometimes, most of 
the time, honestly, if I take a 

97
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,480
nap, I wake up and I just feel 
so much worse than I did before.

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,640
And it takes a long time for me 
to readjust and like feel good 

99
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,520
enough to like actually start 
doing things. 

100
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,280
So not something that I will 
personally be doing. 

101
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,280
But if naps help you and you're 
the type of person that can take

102
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:36,320
like 1020 minute naps and feel 
free, energized and go about 

103
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,280
your day, then definitely 
schedule those into your 

104
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,920
calendar. 
My next step is reframing 

105
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,280
Ramadan and what I don't know 
about you, but I feel like 

106
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:50,560
growing up in Ramadan and my 
family was just a lot of reading

107
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,080
Quran to the point where at 
least for me, it was like it 

108
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,840
burnt me out so fast. 
I'll handle like a little about 

109
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,800
it. 
My parents like they're so on 

110
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,440
their Dean and they can't do 
things like that without feeling

111
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,960
burnt out. 
I don't know how they do it 

112
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,800
because I honestly just can't. 
I've tried and it burns me out 

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,840
so quick and it took me a long 
time to kind of internalize 

114
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:20,120
this. 
But Ramadan does not mean that 

115
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,440
you need to do every single 
thing. 

116
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,480
Rather, it is more about 
consistency, especially if you 

117
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520
have time constraints, if you 
have other responsibilities that

118
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,160
you need to do, it's honestly 
better to focus on, at least in 

119
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,560
my opinion, on your consistency 
rather than the amount of things

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,400
that you're doing. 
Because if you're doing a lot of

121
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
things one day and then the next
day you just fall off, there's 

122
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,080
no reason to be like you're not 
getting a lot out of that. 

123
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,440
You'd be getting a lot more if 
you're focusing on one thing and

124
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,800
you're consistently focusing on 
that for all of Ramadan. 

125
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,160
That way when Ramadan ends, 
you're more likely to keep that 

126
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,480
habit in your life. 
And it's easier to just have it 

127
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,080
as a daily thing instead of just
focusing on like 20 different 

128
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,600
things. 
And it's like the next day, 

129
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,400
maybe you're doing like 5 of the
things on your goal list. 

130
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,280
Like it's not a very good way to
go about it. 

131
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,520
So what I want you to do and 
only take this advice if you 

132
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,600
genuinely like, you know that 
doing a lot of things is gonna 

133
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,880
do worse for you than good if 
you can't do all the things 

134
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320
alone about it much although 
like to you for like I wish. 

135
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,320
But if you know that's not going
to go well for you, I want you 

136
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,120
to cut down that list of 100 
different goals that you have 

137
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,680
into 5 or less goals. 
Narrow down that list of things 

138
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,480
that you are going to put your 
time towards. 

139
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,840
That way, you can put more time 
focusing on these things and you

140
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,320
can become more connected to 
them. 

141
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,040
So, for example, if you want to 
learn the meaning of the Quran, 

142
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:02,320
right, let's just say you focus 
on surahs that you have 

143
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,720
memorized already and you recite
every single day when you pray. 

144
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,160
So focusing on learning that the
seed of those surahs is going to

145
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,520
be a lot better for you in the 
long run than focusing on like 

146
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,360
larger surahs or like any 
random, you know, places in the 

147
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Quran. 
Like it's more beneficial to you

148
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,040
to do it the other way. 
And that way, going back to our 

149
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,480
calendar, you can input time 
block for focusing on each of 

150
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,120
your goals. 
So let's just say you have three

151
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,520
different goals. 
So you can put in time blocks 

152
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,320
for focusing on each of the 
three goals, whether that's 30 

153
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,280
minutes, whether that's an hour 
longer, like whatever it is, 

154
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,600
You're just overall going to 
have more time to focus on those

155
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,960
goals. 
And you're going to have more 

156
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,680
time to become better and well 
versed or overall get more out 

157
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:56,160
of it than you would if you were
like stretching yourself out to 

158
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,440
20 different goals. 
My next tip, and this does sound

159
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,400
a little bit sick again, but 
commit to what you say you're 

160
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,640
going to do. 
A lot of the time we say we're 

161
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,320
going to do things, but we just 
don't follow through. 

162
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,760
And this is the month where we 
need to stop doing that. 

163
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,520
We need to follow through with 
what we say we're going to do. 

164
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,480
As someone goes by, your 
motivation level is going to 

165
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,040
change. 
It's going to go lower and lower

166
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,400
and lower. 
You're going to feel more tired.

167
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000
You're going to start having 
mood changes. 

168
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,560
I don't know about you, but I 
feel like doing Ramadan, my mood

169
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:36,320
definitely does change based off
of just like different sleeping 

170
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,440
habits, sleeping later, waking 
up earlier, being tired all the 

171
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,880
time, not having enough food, 
not drinking enough water, like 

172
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,720
all of it just combined does 
definitely change my mood. 

173
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,520
So all of these things combined,
it's really going to be 

174
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920
important for you to stay hard 
on that discipline. 

175
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,840
Regardless of how you're feeling
in the moment, regardless of if 

176
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,560
you want to do and what you 
don't want to do, you need to 

177
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,840
get up, tell yourself, like this
could be my last Ramadan. 

178
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,160
Honestly, like take what you can
out of this. 

179
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,680
This is such a blessed month. 
You can get so many good deeds, 

180
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,480
so much Hassanat, and we should 
be taking it to our full 

181
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,880
advantage. 
Given like this is also 

182
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,880
something that I need to hear IA
lot of the time, just like sleep

183
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,880
through the day just so I'm not 
hungry and I wake up a little 

184
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,360
bit before I thought and then I 
go down and make myself some 

185
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,880
food eat. 
This is not how we should be 

186
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,120
living through and spending our 
time during this blessed month. 

187
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,440
We should be using every single 
second that we have to our 

188
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,720
advantage. 
Take that opportunity that's in 

189
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,520
front of you and ride with it. 
Like again, this could be your 

190
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,800
last Ramadan. 
This could be the last time that

191
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,040
you are able to fast and get all
these good deeds. 

192
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,720
Like family, you generally don't
know another thing about staying

193
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,640
committed. 
The more that you tell yourself 

194
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,800
you're going to do something and
you don't follow through, the 

195
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,320
more you're going to have or I 
guess the less faith that you're

196
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,800
going to have in yourself. 
If you keep on following the 

197
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,400
cycle of not fulfilling your 
promises to yourself, you're 

198
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,600
going to subconsciously start 
believing that you just can't do

199
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,360
things. 
And once you get into that 

200
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,320
pattern of not following through
and not doing things and just 

201
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,400
being lazy, it's a very hard 
cycle to get out of. 

202
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,880
So to not get ourselves to fall 
into that cycle, stop it before 

203
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,920
it happens and follow through. 
My next tip is to plan your low 

204
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240
energy days. 
It's completely normal to have 

205
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,320
days throughout Ramadan where 
you don't have as much energy. 

206
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480
So it's important to plan out 
what you're going to do on these

207
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,360
low energy days so that you can 
keep pushing through, but you're

208
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,880
not doing so much where you 
were. 

209
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,760
You're feeling burnt out and 
like you're pushing yourself to 

210
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
a level where you can't function
properly. 

211
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800
And it's important to have these
low energy days planned out so 

212
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
that when you are having one of 
them, you can be like, OK, this 

213
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,040
is my plan for when I am having 
a low energy day. 

214
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,920
So you can switch up your 
schedule and just realign so 

215
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,640
that you can still get the most 
out of your day. 

216
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400
So for example, let's just say 
you go to throw away every 

217
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,920
single night you're having a low
energy day. 

218
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,480
OK you can go to the Masjid, 
pray maybe 8:00 or maybe your 

219
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680
low energy day is praying at 
home. 

220
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,640
Whatever it is, have an 
alternative so that you're still

221
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,760
doing something. 
But it's not to the point where 

222
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,520
you're feeling like Oh my God do
I have to do this? 

223
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,440
I literally just feel like I'm 
about to pass out right now. 

224
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,920
Y'all need to be more gentle 
with yourself because no one is 

225
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600
going to be gentle with you if 
you aren't being gentle with 

226
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800
you. 
But on that same note, don't let

227
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,200
yourself off the hook just 
because you're being gentle. 

228
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,360
You can do both and have that 
balance. 

229
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Like it's completely OK to 
readjust. 

230
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Rest when you need to, take naps
when you need to, sleep in one 

231
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,440
day if you need to, but scale 
back up when you're feeling that

232
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480
energy again. 
One of the biggest things that 

233
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,000
you can honestly do throughout 
this month is remembering Allah 

234
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Suppanatala and everything that 
you do, whether that is when 

235
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,440
you're leaving the house to go 
to work, to go to college, to go

236
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,200
to school, whether it's before 
you eat. 

237
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,680
Making DWA is the best way to 
remember a lot. 

238
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,640
And there are so many Dwas that 
you can learn literally from 

239
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,280
just like searching it up on 
Google that you can recite 

240
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,680
throughout the day and have that
be a remembrance of God, 

241
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,520
regardless of if you're working 
8090 hours a week like dua is 

242
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,920
the it's a very small, but a 
very powerful way to remember 

243
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,880
God and to get Hassanat 
throughout this month. 

244
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,840
You wake up in the morning, say 
the blah for waking up before 

245
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,000
you eat. 
Say the dua for before you eat. 

246
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,840
There are duas for everything, 
like I think there's a door for 

247
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,720
putting on clothes, leaving the 
house. 

248
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,440
There's a door for when you 
start the car and you're like 

249
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,960
traveling to work. 
There are doors for when you're 

250
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,240
walking uphill or like upstairs.
I don't know if that makes 

251
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,920
sense. 
There is also a door for when 

252
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,040
you're walking downhill or 
downstairs. 

253
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:10,880
I don't know if that makes 
sense. 

254
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,400
I hope you guys understand what 
I'm saying when I say that, but 

255
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,880
point is, there are thoughts for
literally everything and I think

256
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,080
it's extremely beneficial if you
look into different thoughts 

257
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,800
that you can incorporate into 
your life, especially again, if 

258
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,560
you have an extremely busy 
schedule, just so you can 

259
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,000
remember God throughout those 
small moments throughout your 

260
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,080
day. 
At the end of the day, Ramadan 

261
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,400
isn't about how aesthetic your 
routine looks. 

262
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,080
It's not about how much you 
romanticize your goals. 

263
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,040
It's not even about how many 
goals you have. 

264
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,840
It's not about proving anything 
to anyone. 

265
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,400
It's about intention. 
It's about discipline and it's 

266
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,920
about consistency. 
It's about who you are when 

267
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,320
there is no one else around to 
look at you and see what you're 

268
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,720
doing. 
It doesn't require you to be 

269
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,680
perfect. 
It requires you to put in effort

270
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,480
and that version of yourself 
that continually puts in that 

271
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,280
effort to become better, to 
remember God even in the small 

272
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,480
moments throughout her day. 
That is the you that's going to 

273
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,040
come out of all of this. 
Underneath that is the you that 

274
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,160
is going to keep on inshola 
those habits that you made and 

275
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,440
turn them into things that you 
do on a daily outside of this 

276
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,840
month. 
That is it for this video. 

277
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,560
I hope you guys got at least 
something out of this and it 

278
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,800
helps you in any way but that I 
love y'all more. 

279
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,680
I'll see you my next video.
