So it's Monday morning, I feel great even with the lack of sleep. I know a lot of people hate Mondays but thats mainly due to hating their life to be quite frank. Sorry! I'm starting off this day with new goals to bettering myself and I truly believe everyone should do the same. Kinda like setting new personal goals or an early "New Year's Resolution". I've been having difficulty staying on track of my goals and I haven't accomplished much them as I should have due to stress and anxiety, lack of confidence and lack of focus. InshaAllah, I hope to change that in the upcoming months. I'm really setting out to finding a remedy for my overall sluggishness.
I have sleeping problems like insomnia and anxiety. I know they both go hand in hand. So, I have come up with a solution, hopefully a cure for myself. Since I dabbed into holistic remedies, I have come across many detox teas that I easy make at home. The most common one is cinnamon and honey tea. But knowing me, I will go the extra mile and do a full blown detox tea that will inshaAllah help me and all my problem. Almost like that "magic" pill that gets rid of all problems. Hahaha. A funny concoction, if I may say so, made up of green tea, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, kolongi and honey. It tastes like spicy rice pudding with nutmeg lol. Well it's not that palatable, so I've convinced myself that it is I suppose.
Another thing, I'm waaaaaaay over weight, that's not due to over eating, it's high cortisol levels, high stress, lack of sleep type problem. So my solution, along with my medical bush-tea, I will change my diet and do regular exercise. Pump my lymphatic system! As well, I will be taking vitamin B12. I've made my decision based on previous astonishing results. I'm going plant based vegan. So no meat, no dairy. I have done lots of research and tested many theories, and I truly believe this will help my body lose weight efficiently and effectively.
For obvious reasons, rice and bananas will be a staple in my dietary regime. Plenty of studies have proven that rice is extremely nutritious and can actually reverse diabetes and obesity. I'm not a medical doctor... but it was doctors that have proven these theories like in the early 1900s. Back then, doctors actually cared about curing disease and finding medical solutions, now they only care about money and pill-pushing.
Ok so that's 2 problems down: Sleeping and weight loss
Now onto financial problems... Let me just be the first to say that I really suck at saving money. No honestly, I really do. I was never taught the importances of having a budget or saving money growing up. Honestly! This is an essential part of basic survival. So I've come up with a plan. I will have a more strict budget that I hope and pray InshaAllah will work for me. I've called it the jar method. Basically, I will be putting money in jars for different wants & needs. I want to start a business, so that's one jar to save up for materials and merchandise. The second jar, will be for hair, skin care and makeup I want to invest in... I'm really a minimalist lol I don't want drawers full of makeup just a case with essentials for hair and skin care plus a few makeup items. I like quality, so I know it will be expensive. Third and final jar, I guess will be my emergency savings. I figured for every $100 I get I will save 60% (after rent is paid and bus fare & food is purchased). So 20% goes in each jar.
I think these problem all work together, taking a toll on me physically, mentally and emotionally. So, I hope this plan will fix things for me. I'm feeling very optimistic. I'm open to any & all suggestions really, so leave your comments.
Take care & InshaAllah khair
Duni
