Grounding and mindfulness exercises are key to our wellbeing and yet, they're things we prefer to use as buzzwords rather than a part of our daily life. Here are some ways we can start implementing them in our lives.
The days are dark, and the light seems as though it will never shine upon us, but we’re going to power through anyway and hold on to the most powerful thing we have, hope. The tides will inevitably change, and our paths will too often stray from the linear one we’d hoped for it to stay on, but that isn’t always a bad thing; sometimes what we need is different to what we want and it is in the right timing and situation that all which is right for us will align and make its self apparent.
On the good days and the bad, I reached out for my comfort book and read it cover to cover until my little brain pleaded with me to change it up a bit and read something new. But, my goodness, that book changed me.

And that’s the biggest difference in this new year of life. For so long I have lived for everyone else that I forgot that I’m a person too, and I deserve to be cared for by me. 

Ayesha Khanom

Sometimes a teacher, sometimes a student, but mostly caffeinated. This blog is a terrible attempt at writing out my thoughts - think of it as the 'comments, complaints, and suggestions' section of my brain. Nevertheless, I hope that some of these words will find a place in your heart and will stay with you even when I do not. If you'd like to get in touch, send me a message on Instagram or leave a comment on one of these posts and I'll get back to you at the best possible time.

Untangling the Knots

I remember my mother coming over and saying something I don't think I'll ever forget: "I know it hurts to give up, but you have to know when to cut the cord. That's part of growing up".

Losing Sight

I’m not slating the technological advances we’ve experienced because Lord only knows that I’ve met some of the greatest people in my life through these means, but there comes a point where you start to lose sight of what’s right in front of you because of all the other lovely things there are to see in the world.

Sobering Up for Him

In my heart of hearts I knew that in this moment, the greatest guidance can only come from Allah, and the best way to access this guidance is through His words in the Qur’an.
