how you think will influence how you feel. how you feel will influence how you act. how you act will become a habit. and your habit will become yourself.
- Aiman Azlan
Well excuse me as I need to write that down in order to actually comprehend how it applies to my own situation lol I have been listening to that part so many times but just had to pause and apply it to myself first before I move on with the rest of the podcast.
Practising positivity
- Gratitude: Focus on good parts and how the good parts nurture you as a good human being. Allah gave everybody something and at the same time Allah did not give everybody something. The bad that others have while having the good, you might not be able to handle it. But he could. For instance, Allah gives extra patience for a person to face the people around him, which you won't be patient with, because Allah does not give you extra patience.
Putting this as principle of your life will make you grateful and not comparing yourself to other people's lives. I.e. "Everything that Allah has given you or has not given you is the best."
- Self-awareness: Why am I mad? Is it worth it to be mad?
- Self-talk: How you talk to yourself. A pattern of behaviour. How you communicate with yourself.
- Awareness that you have a choice: The fact that we do not know what Allah has planned for us is a BLESSING. It means that we always have a chance to have a different future based on what you choose to do today. So there's no such thing as Allah has written this for me, so I do not need to do anything.
- Be humble: The fact that only Allah knows, that we don't know.
