Preparing for Ramadan isn’t just meal prep — it’s heart prep. 🌙
If you want to enter Ramadan feeling calmer and more emotionally steady, start here:

✨ 1) Set your intention (niyyah)
Ask: What do I want to feel like by the end of Ramadan? And why does it matter?

🧠 2) Brain dump the noise
Write everything on your mind. Then choose ONE small action per day to clear mental clutter.

🤍 3) Release resentment
Who are you still carrying in your chest? You don’t have to excuse anything — but you can ask Allah to help you let go of the burden.

📵 4) Limit the scroll
Set gentle boundaries now (e.g., no social before Fajr / 20 mins a day). Try ScreenZen or your phone’s app limits.

🍯 5) Nourish your mood
Reducing caffeine, sugar and processed foods before Ramadan can help prevent mood crashes. Add supportive foods slowly (protein + fibre at suhoor, fermented foods if they suit you).

🕊 6) Practice surrender
Let go of controlling what you can’t change — and focus on what you can: your intention, your choices, your responses.

Your triggers aren’t the problem.

They’re not proof you’re “too sensitive.”
They’re not evidence you’ve failed your healing.
They’re not a character flaw.

Triggers are signals.
They show you where your healing is waiting.

Because every trigger is an invitation:
a message…
a breadcrumb back to alignment.

A part of you is saying:
“Something here still hurts.”
“Something here still feels unsafe.”
“Something here needs attention — not avoidance.”

But when you shame yourself for being triggered, you lose the opportunity.

Shame makes you spiral.
Shame makes you shut down.
Shame makes you try to “get rid of” the feeling instead of listening to it.

And healing doesn’t happen through self-attack.
It happens through curiosity, compassion, and emotional safety.

So next time you’re triggered, try this:
✨ Pause
✨ Breathe
✨ Ask: “What is this reminding me of?”
✨ Ask: “What do I need right now to feel safe?”

Your triggers are teachers — not threats.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below

Overthinking isn’t a character flaw.
It’s a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

From a neuroscience perspective, when you overthink, your brain is prioritising the threat system (the amygdala).
Blood flow shifts away from the parts of the brain responsible for clarity, creativity, and decision-making — and into vigilance and protection.

That’s why:

You loop instead of decide

You analyse instead of act

You feel exhausted but don’t feel calm

You cannot think your way out of a nervous system problem.

Regulate the body — and the mind quietens naturally.

That’s why real change doesn’t start with “positive thinking.”
It starts with safety.

Here are simple ways to begin regulating — even without a coach:

• Go for a slow walk in nature (this cues safety to the brain)
• Breathe deeply, longer exhales than inhales
• Shift into peripheral vision instead of staring at a screen
• Talk things out with someone safe
• Journal — not to analyse, but to release
• Brain dump everything without editing or judging

Journalling is powerful when it moves emotion, not when it intellectualises it.
Ask yourself:

What am I feeling in my body right now?

What belief is this emotion attached to?

What am I trying to control that isn’t mine to carry?

Clarity comes from calm — not from more analysis.

And once the nervous system settles, you can finally look at:
• the beliefs keeping you looping
• the emotions you’ve been suppressing
• the patterns that no longer serve you

This is where lasting change happens.

I help intelligent Muslim women who live in their heads learn how to come back into their bodies and hearts — so they can regulate, release, and realign with their values, faith, and goals.

Because peace isn’t found by thinking harder.
It’s found by creating safety — inside first.

If this resonates, tell me:
Do you notice your overthinking gets worse when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally holding too much?

25/01/2026

For years, I thought my problem was discipline.

Every January I’d do the whole “new me” thing — fresh plan, fresh motivation, big promises.
And then… I’d end up back in the same habits.

I used to tell myself: “Try harder.”
“Be more consistent.”
“What’s wrong with you?”

But the truth is, you can’t override unconscious habits with just willpower.

Your conscious mind is the part that makes the plan.
But your unconscious mind runs most of your habits, emotional reactions, comfort-zone choices, and old coping patterns.

So I was trying to create change with about 5% of my mind…
and hoping it would convince the other 95%.

When I finally started doing the deeper work — understanding the pattern, releasing the emotion underneath it, and shifting what felt “safe” in my system — everything got easier.

Not overnight.
But the inner battle got quieter.

Because real change isn’t about forcing yourself into a new life…
it’s about retraining what your mind and body have been rehearsing for years.

If you’re tired of starting again every Monday/January and blaming yourself, you’re not broken.
You’re patterned.

If you want the first step to start working with your mind (not against it), DM me READY.

Overthinking isn’t your personality.
It’s not a flaw.
And it’s definitely not who you are.

It’s a pattern your nervous system learned when it was trying to keep you safe.

When the mind doesn’t feel secure, it scans.
It replays.
It plans for every possible outcome — not because you’re broken, but because something in you learned that vigilance was necessary.

Healing isn’t about forcing the thoughts to stop.
It’s about restoring safety beneath them.

When the body softens, the mind follows.
When the heart feels safe, clarity returns.

You don’t need to become someone new.
You need to release what’s been running in the background.

✨ You are not your overthinking — you’re the one underneath it.

Thank you so much to for the invitation to come and speak on Tuesday 25/11/25 . I was speaking about my journey to founding Sound Heart Coach. We talked about all sorts: my childhood, years in Libya, time working for a charity supporting ex-offenders as well as turning back to Allah.
Shalina made me feel totally at ease and we ended up chatting about all sorts including about what wellness means to us.

If you are interested in wellness, I will be at the Holistic Health Fayre Sunday 14th Dec 2025 with some awesome contributors. Tickets are free but limited so book in advance. Link in bio

What if everyone was doing the best that they could?

Pause for a moment and really sit with that.
What if your parents were doing the best they could with the knowledge, emotional tools, and experiences they had?
What if your partner, your ex, your friends — even the people who hurt you — were doing the best they could at that time?

When we adopt this belief, something powerful begins to shift.
We start to see that much of what we’ve carried — the anger, the blame, the disappointment — no longer needs to weigh us down. Because from this place of understanding, compassion naturally begins to grow.

This doesn’t mean that we excuse pain or erase boundaries.
It means we choose to see others as human — limited, learning, and still deserving of grace.
It means our boundaries can be built from love and self-respect, not mistrust or fear.

And then… we turn that same compassion inward.
Because if everyone is doing the best they can — that includes you.

The version of you who didn’t know better.
The version of you who reacted out of pain, fear, or survival.
The version of you who’s learning, healing, and trying again today.

You’ve always been doing the best you could with the tools, awareness, and faith you had in that moment.
And that realisation can be deeply freeing.

So today, take a breath.
Look at your past — and the people in it — through softer eyes.
Offer yourself the same mercy you would wish for from Allah, The Most Compassionate.

💭 What would change for you if you truly believed that everyone — including you — was doing the best they could?

What if “sin” didn’t have to mean guilt, shame, or being unforgiven?

I recently learned that the word sin comes from the ancient Greek hamartanō, an archery term meaning “to miss the mark.” 🎯

This completely changed how I see my mistakes.
Sin isn’t about being bad — it’s about being out of alignment with your values, your faith, or the life Allah has written for you.

When I reframe it this way, I can come back into alignment — kindly, gently, and with compassion, instead of beating myself up.

Does this perspective resonate with you? 💛
How would it change the way you treat yourself when you stumble?
