Hannah’s Daily Note

The women I work with come to me with a desire to reconnect with Islam; to establish salah again; to develop better habits of reading Quran, etc.

But what I realise for many is that this is part of a bigger picture allowing all her needs to drop to the bottom of the priority list. Proper sleep, nutrition, time for basic self-care are a distant memory from a time before career, family and life came along.

For these women, we first have to work on setting non-negotiables that begin to shift their mindset. We need to know, ‘I am allowed to have this time for myself; I am top of my priority list’.

So if this sounds like you, ask yourself what small non-negotiable could you begin to introduce on a daily or weekly basis? Set it, and keep that promise to yourself over the coming weeks.
