the start of a beautiful month

Ramadan starts tomorrow. I'm still trying to calm myself down thinking about how fast everything is going by, but at the same time, I'm really thankful Allah SWT gives me another chance to meet this holy month again. So many things I hope to accomplish this Ramadan.

Pray.

I'm guilty of this. So freaking guilty. I'm the laziest person when it comes to praying. But I realize that the reason why I'm always late for my appointments/meetups is because I can't even keep track of my time for my own God. 

So I hope, starting from tomorrow, I'll try to fix this part. I hope I can even make the effort to pray when I'm out. This is really the hardest on my list, honestly. Come on, if you're a Muslim, you know the struggle to wake up early just for Subuh.

Less gossip talks.

Being a girl, let's face it, gossips keep conversations going. Talking about that girl who just change her boyfriend again, talking about how slutty some girls dress... the list just goes on. I really hope I can put a stop on this. 

I hope we can all just talk about the good in people, and less of the bad. I know it'll be hard to stop myself from gossiping, but I hope I will do so. I feel most of the time we talk about others because we feel envious of them, or we are just unhappy with them. And for you to be happy, you have to be happy with others by throwing away all the unhappiness in you. So let's put a stop to gossips.

Exercise more.

I haven't been regularly working out and really, I know my body is getting out of shape and I'm not loving every single bit of it. I gain weight very easily, not sure if it's my metabolism rate going downhill or I'm just fated for it.

Working out just for the dream body is one thing... but the fact that my body is like an amanah from Allah SWT makes me feel even more guilty for not taking care of it well. That brings me to the next point. 

Practise healthy eating habits.

When I'm lazy to buy food for myself, I have this habit of just cooking some instant noodles. I hope to go all no-instant-noodles for this one whole month. It should be easy, right?

Other than that, I hope I can eat more vegetables and fruits too. I'm very picky when it comes to this. I would eat it if someone feeds me. Very rarely, I will volunteer to eat it. Also, I hope to eat in moderation. If you know me well enough, you should know that I can really eat a lot... especially if the food taste so goooooood.

As of now, I can only think of these four in my must-achieve list for this Ramadan. At the end of the day, I just hope I will be a better Muslim than I was before because Ramadan is meant to make you improve yourself as a Muslim. 

May you be blessed with love from Allah SWT this Ramadan 💕
