So much has happened in 2014 & 2015... This just makes 2016 more promising. Now don't get me wrong I don't celebrate the 'New Year' for religious reasons however I will definitely take this opportunity to start fresh and do good for myself. Looking back in 2014, I got divorced Alhamdulillah. Got my first public job as a niqabi. In 2015, I struggled starting from the bottom striving to work my way up... and I'm still striving. I have created this "I'm my own boss" mindset, I think and act like it too. Now I'm married to a wonderful man in KSA. Now 2016 is literally on it's way and all I just have to do is dot my 'I's and cross my 'T's before I get my visa for KSA.
This month/ upcoming year will be a busy as well as physically & emotionally stressful month. It all comes down to time management and sheer FOCUS.
This January I do have quite a lot of plans. One, is to finish my Hijama Practitioner Certification. I'm literally giving myself the entire month to finish the program once and for all, graduate and begin my own holistic therapy business.
Ya, I'm trying to be my own boss. Mainly because I desperately hate my current job. Alhamdulillah ala kulfi hal and I pray Allah Subhana wa Ta'Ala makes it easy for me.
Secondly, I'm fat and unhealthy. I'm not even going to be nice about it. It's the truth and my reality. I know I've posted about this months ago but lets just face it... I didn't have any motivation to follow. LOL I really hope with the whole marriage thingy that I find my motivation and stick to it like glue.
The solution is simple, eat healthily and exercise. The problem is, as much as I love health and fitness, I'm incredibly lazy lol. But no worries I've simplified the task at hand, I have found on Pinterest a lot of those "30 Day Challenges". I've chosen the "30 Day Squat, Thigh & Leg Lifts Challenges" with 15 mins cardio. LOL I really only need cardio but I do want to challenge myself and become nicely tones. I'm going on a plant-based diet. I know, it's a beautiful way of eating. Of course I'm doing it for vanity! I don't see anything wrong with eating meat but just not in high quantities. Besides, according to the Sunnah, we should only eat meat twice a week maximum. I actually thrive of my fruits and veggies, I feel fresh and more energized anyways.
Thirdly, I have to buy my sewing patterns online. I know it sounds random but it's actually not. It's part of my dream to also have my own clothing and lingerie line. And my progress will be posted inshaAllah in my second blog. It's obviously a slow process but slowly and surely the cream usually rises to the top. I'm the cream and I will get to the top by the Will of Allah.
Last but not the least, my arabic! I've recently purchased my arabic course from Indigo! but I will discuss this in more details in a later post inshaAllah. But the sole purpose to learning this is because it's my responsibility as a muslim. More importantly, I would like to be able to speak to my In-laws.
So that's about it for now...
Take Care & InshaAllah Khair

what's your job and what do you desperately hate about it, Duni?
ReplyDeleteIt's not so much the job, it's the environment & management, it's the lack of professionalism with high expectation minus integrity. We are pretty much treated as slaves because the majority of workers are immigrants completely oblivious to their Canadian rights. You're liked and treasured if you make the company money but you can easily fall from grace and when you do, they treat you like you've done nothing. Essentially they want loyalty but don't treat you like royalty.
