In this journey we call life, we must stop and take note of what we have learned along the way. I believe this takes sincere and focused self-reflection. We must also maintain ourselves in a holistic way, this is the only way that progress is possible. We exist physically, mentally/emotionally, and spiritually, and must attend to all these aspects of ourselves. Give Me Five was inspired by a friend who embarked on a personal quest for growth called Project 31...it was a month that she utilized to work on various aspects of herself. She motivated me so much that I decided to come up with my own version to fit my quest for self-reflection and self-improvement. It is a 5 component plan that addresses multiple areas. I was blessed to have access to resources and individuals that helped me fine tune this process. The plan is as follows, on a weekly basis:
5 daily prayers
4 days a week of physical activity
3 day a week of extra spiritual work(fasting, meditation, dhikring, witr, tahajjud)
2 days a week of knowledge acquisition (lectures, literature, workshops, etc.)
1 day a week of vegetarian diet
I'd started a couple weeks ago, but had to postpone it due to not feeling well. So, this week I'm starting back. I intend to share with you all as I embark on this part of my journey on a weekly basis. I will be sharing links to resources, and book titles, and so forth as applicable.
Sending lots of prayers and positive energy to all!
