Hello and welcome. Peace and blessings, Its Suraya Sara and welcome to the
Mindful Soul Academy masterclass series and today we have Shabana Yusuf, who is from
the Promising Muslimah website www.promisingmuslimah.com. Is that
correct ? .
Yes absolutely right
Beautiful. I am gonna give you a quick background on Shabana before
we get cracking on this topic it's a it's a really good one I actually like
this one. So just a quick background on Shabana. She is an active Muslimah on
a mission to inspire other Muslim women to stay healthy to remain sorry to stay healthy
and to remind them as a woman that we have the right to enjoy the benefits of
a healthy body and mind whilst taking care of our responsibilities we have no
excuses because Islam doesn't give us one. That's really what it really what it really is?
right down to that there is no excuses about keeping yourself healthy so
today's title of the talk it's really striking on your face and I like it it's
really I think I think that it goes right down to the whole no excuses
Today's topic is women you have no excuse so Shabana, let's get started
let's talk about a little bit about the whole aspect of being healthy. Thank you
Suraya for having me and Assalaam aleikum everybody. Obviously as Suraya
has already explained, I am on a mission to inspire women particularly Muslims women. I would say
Muslim women because they are bound by various cultures, various inhibitions
of themselves and cultural practices which are created by themselves which
are nothing to do with our religion and which keeps holding them back from
following a healthy lifestyle. Which is really surprising to me because
according to our religion, our body is actually a trust
given to us by Allah swt. We are supposed to take care of it
and not misuse it. It's beautiful because Allah has
put this restriction on us and He has made us accountable on the day of
judgment our body which we have full control of it right now in this world we
can treat it the way you want to, feed the way we want to, take it everywhere
not giving enough rest and because of all this we are putting our
bodies into afflictions like laziness and tiredness and different types of diseases,
illnesses and pains, obesity. All this we are going to be accountable for our body
is going to testify against us on the day of judgment. So Allah has given
us this obligation to take care of our health and our body and not to
misuse it. So the question is why does Allah want our health. Why does he want us to stay
healthy Allah doesnt get anything from us, from
our health He is Al Ghani. He doesn't need anything He wants to keep us healthy
only so that we can benefit ourselves in this world and the Hereafter. so when we
are taking care of our body in this world we are improving our relationships
within ourselves. Not only within ourselves, but everything around us. Our family, our spouse
our children, home, our work and our Deen. we are able to take care of our daily
responsibilities properly and effectively not only that, we are able to
perform better as true believers, in the sense like, improving our worship, improving
over Salah, and all other forms of worship. and that way we come closer to Allah
when we are healthy, it has a direct relationship on how we perform as worshippers, how our
worship is. And that brings us closer to Allah swt
So Allah wants us to stay healthy because ... He says in the Quran, in a Hadith,
it is said, eat what is lawful and what is healthy and do not follow the foot
steps of the Shaitaan. Now Shaitan has this one thing of tricking us, you know
making us eat unhealthy so that you know that affects our health
and that directly affects our worship and that takes us away from Allah swt
Can I ask you a question
We talked about Shaitan and speaking
about eating the things that aren't healthy I think also to add to that that
there's also the addiction part of it as well where it becomes unhealthy and we
become more mindless as we eat and then that becomes the addiction part of it
and that's where we we completely lose the whole the whole part of the
eating aspect of what we're taught that was supposed to be eating. The more we indulge into it, the more
difficult it keeps getting for us. Basically Allah doesn't want to lose us
to the Shaitaan. This is so beautiful I just read this somewhere. He wants us
to stay healthy so that we can benefit in this world and in the Hereafter and
Jenna is our goal and if that becomes our goal that actually becomes an
ongoing modulation you go back a permanent destination so if you keep
that in mind we are going it is going to become easier for us a saying of the
answer everything which will improve our health all right so seminar you are
talking about about what people are a bit confused about the understanding
around exercise and and Islam and and what we're supposed to be doing and what
we should be doing what are some of the excuses that you have heard that don't
hold any validity and first of all the main reason is that we don't use their
health as much importance as the other things in their life and they fail to
recognize the fact that it's the help which is validated to perform that the
responsibilities the responsibilities I mean if they could understand the
importance of help you need life and I think though everything worth of the one
thing that we don't have enough discussion about the Sunnah in our did
it just like the other signals of our being so it becomes easier for them to
say that they don't have time they are mothers are full-time have a job and
this responsibility and you know that families have joined family well the
wives are living with their husbands parent and it become more difficult for
them because obviously she need to know that it is important but it is not
considered as important by the elders and she is compelled to live her life
the way she is expected to yeah I get that yes yes a bit of cultural a
cultural misunderstanding misunderstanding of ignorance hmm
ignorant is probably a better word for it and and you make a really good point
because I think that a lot of ladies who are in that situation with that you know
they might be working that they they might have people that disagree that you
should spend time on you know helping yourself and and and and fixing yourself
up especially after you have children sometimes you know you get a bit caught
up looking after the kids and then you know you don't you don't check yourself
cause you're caring for others but then when you care so much for others and you
forget about yourself then you're not able to serve people the best way that
you can your basically your cup is empty and you have nothing more to give
because you're burnt out you're tired you you know you're fatigued because you
haven't cared for yourself so it's all like this domino effect and it all comes
down to your health when you don't look after it and you don't put enough
attention on yourself and I'm not saying being selfish and
taking all that time like being healthy doesn't necessarily mean you have to
exercise and be at the gym people do it at home people can go for a walk with
the kids there's so many things doesn't even touch on a bit later on but I'm
sure you've heard every single excuse in this line of work that you do absolutely
happening the place beautiful so you are talking about the why if I stay healthy
and we'll talk about being done or focused and
why we we need to be healthy because when we get to art string for ourselves
our body is going to talk talk to what we've done to ourselves have no control
of our body on the day of judgement absolutely and Allah has shown us how we
are going to be as opposed to lead our our life in a healthy manner that's true
that's enough about us people are so nervous around he showed us how to eat
he showed us how to sleep when to sleep each other as the physical activity she
needs to participate in I mean I was amazed by the fact that after knowing
the sports or the Sunnah of our astronauts or in a set up and we
encouraged for both men and women not just men we are saying it in sports like
archery swimming running and horse riding wrestling is to organize your
thoughts and crises I never knew all these stuff when I started to know more
about meditation on the healthy health side you know I I wanted to know more
what I mean how does help play important role in our religion so that was really
really inspiring for me and amazing in a hadith yes genius to write to his wife
yes that's what I remember reading the Hadees actually how he would have little
Rice's with it and that was a beautiful thing because it also shows his
faithfulness as well yeah and so much important you do is to give this talk
about the importance of sports in their life I mean it's amazing so I want to
see again how they are we going wrong I mean why are why do we as Muslims don't
form a healthier group in the society in fact we are the unhealthiest group in a
society and according to the recent studies in Duquesne it's amazing it's an
agree it's less than one in five new human exercise less than once a week
Wow I mean that's amazing after all what our religion says about
health forget about UK this is the
multicultural society look at our Muslim countries Saudi Arabia Kuwait
obesity is a growing problem in the population mostly population especially
women we need to address these issues is that I have
a survey online both recently involving Muslim women aged between 15 and 64 and
the results were amazing I mean more than 50% of them are overweight they are
finding problems keeping themselves healthy their various issues around them
social issues and on them which I want to be addressed very simply when you say
about the biggest issue obviously you're saying is obesity and you said about
exercise and the reality is still lose weight you need those two you need to
get your food properly like in order and you need to have movement that's the
basis of getting back on track when you think your survey what what were the
results with those two and comparing two because you said that they're all Muslim
women comparing to like the Western country results right no not for like
what they don't have enough time you've got two positive as models or are as
blue triangle concern ago secondly they don't have you know the gym listening
like women only gym around them either they are not present or they are very
expensive they cannot explore them here and yeah and also about the clothing
about their modesty which is certainly a very important role in our religion but
I don't think that as an excuse it's articles there are so many brands coming
off they have to focus movie you have image even if you don't have only Rimmel
gym you can still go to those Jill get properly dressed
you know just create modestly and in your behavior and in your covering your
clothing and I think that you know good to go
I bought the gym that I have now this way because I do have the tape he
doesn't have only dimension but I do call the time firstly when there's less
less crowded I try to boot up time chairman you are I mean you're just
focusing on what you want to do in in there you know they're really there to
socialize really are there to focus on yourself and you know we're hanging on
and you know what and you make a good point about like you know saying about
the gyms and seeing that outfit and me saying about you know
feeling uncomfortable and stuff to be honest like we're in the work we're in
the age like the technology age where we've got the internet we've got YouTube
we've got the ability to actually have these exercises that you can do at home
in front of your television without like just using your body body weight you
know without even having to go to the gym and yeah and like like when I had
little kids that's what my husband and I did like we were in from the TV to
create put down doing all the exercises there's anything to keep you from going
up your kids are there your work at home and fair you need your presence is
medium you can order order I mean just take a six foot by six foot
stated in your in your living room and a TV internet and you're good to go
yeah exactly well that's it and that's the most amazing and you know I mean you
can always there are a lot of online PT's and I know that if people can
contact you as well you know that I know you have like a workout program and you
also have a audiobook again it was about consequential your food cravings yes how
to get a massive big one that's a big one and and that's one of
the promising Mulsim our website and that that's not on sale there I believe
and those are the two things that we're talking about was the food intake and
the exercise those are the heating and maybe one is the food intake yeah oh
yeah if 80 percent is a set food in baking you badly Stacey and 20 I don't
know anything except item the whole day and and then you're not eating properly
I mean he does reversing and given you some working yeah yes it is equal
equally it out and doing anything yeah I don't do you do pregnant I die that's
the problem I love I love to eight to and food is so good for so to my
girlfriend like going unless food so much what should I do business for you
in the piece of thing we always I've always learned that you should have a
cheat day at least so you can enjoy some of the food you cannot go on and on and
on in a night and not and that's what to do so keeping yourself in one of the
most important opportunity you got you know okay once a week you
can you can I mean it should be working the whole week I mean one day may not
make a difference right something I mean what in my book off about controlling
cravings you have got a recipe over there which gives me an option of
preparing your sweet and then the dessert which is healthier options even
if I mean you'll have those both of those cakes and the pastry we mean
converting them it has the options you can tell enjoy your medicine yeah for
sure I totally agree with you because I think that I think people aren't aware
of all these other options and the beautiful thing about works of the
internet now like there are so many videos out there especially on your
Facebook see eat all you need to do is like those pages that give you like
really good healthy food and a lot of much faster faster make and easy to find
like like the ingredients that easy to find so I just don't think that that's
an excuse but I do feel that like in today's society is that because we're so
a lot more digital we're on our phone we become lazy and and that's probably one
of the downfalls of of our generation is that everything becomes comfortable and
and then we just you know yeah we'll do it later
you know you know but when it comes to like instant gratification like people
want instant results and unfortunately when you're doing this you don't get
that and you actually have to work for it and the only way that I can yeah and
and I think that's probably a psychological thing as well and you need
to get your head right in in that sense and know that you know it's well I think
it's more gratifying to actually see the results when you work hard because it's
a lot more like yeah I learned health comes with your your effort and then I
love health a lot of motels you doesn't just if you just sitting on the couch
you know you have to move and then you see the results like when you move you
have to make the step first step and then it is difficult but ending it only
gets easier when you insist and you will see the results yeah I love
that a lot that kids like but the thing that I I hear a lot is that especially
for the women that I help they always bring up the fact that people advise
them to be patient to survive right and I was like yes you can be patient but
you need to do the work first and then you can be patient through the words
yeah objects it is not easy it is very difficult but if you're even if it's a
little bit of effort every day it is only going to make it easier for you for
tomorrow yeah I mean look at today as not and you not doing anything for the
next one month us now there or even you're going to be worse you have to
write even little steps you still be much better than what you are today
yes exactly you'll be way ahead from where you were one month ago and you
touched on just now about how your body will answer for you you know and you
know you won't have any control over that and that brings you back to this
conversation I had about your body and how your body how us our generations
don't doesn't value our body as we should have should value it because when
we're born you know our heart started beating for us our lungs we're breathing
for us our skin grew our eyes saw for us like we never asked for that to happen
but it has served us for decades it has served up without questioning anything
and all we do is a view their body and we don't look after it and there's no
love for the body that has been serving us and every time our body comes up with
something like it's really springing at us to to focus on it to look after it
like you know you're needed why does it hurt are you carrying so much yeah it's
giving you it's telling you it's not like they didn't consider today you've
been beyond tomorrow your bedridden some of that it has taken us some time
you know you've been decreasing it for a long time it doesn't happen in one day
so body was giving you all the assignment
just on affecting it yeah yeah that's exactly right that's exactly right and I
think I was a bit of a mindset shift for me because we we always complain that
you know we're a bit chubby here or a bit chubby there were a bit overweight
and you know not pretty and not this and not that and they're like all body image
issues but we always forget about the body itself like what has been carrying
us and and I always say you need to love at first before you can make any changes
to it you need to just love whatever mess that you're in and just say I hear
you I feel you and like you know we need to be able to love this like a lot
saying be positive about about being overweight because being overweight does
not serve us as as human beings because we get tired it's not how we should be
operating as human beings you know even not supposed to be all fat and lazy and
think we were supposed to be lean and healthy and active yeah everybody has an
opportunity it's just a matter of taking it really not a better yeah exactly
exactly I totally agree without first making that first step and I think for
me that was the hardest is like it's so comfortable just to be comfortable right
but like when I had that shift in my head and I'm just thinking about it you
think about your body working for you so hard for all those years and you never
thanked it and you never appreciated it like the moment you start appreciating
you want to do better for it and it's a bit of a mind shift in that sense and
thanking God for what he's given us and thanking him for allowing us to live
like just to be thankful be in gratitude yeah yeah yeah yeah and one of the
Haditha sees is they're being grateful is that usually often taking care of
your body's avail thanking Allah for this gift exactly that's beautiful I
love that I really really love that one because that's that's what it is
it's don't think we we talked enough about
that one because we were all focused about what's right and what's wrong
all the time and pointing out other people's problems rather than looking
ourselves and how we can help ourselves to be better actually
exactly so exactly where do we actually start in Andrea and I we have something
I've been raised in a Muslim family but a lot of different modes like praying on
time stop saying I never came up I never grew up listening to it don't need so
much don't avoid it you know have you exercise today did you compare one today
I mean I never heard that your body is not yours I never have that going I
never grew up hearing that they are the focus I'm not discussing this within our
families and because of that because of that women are suffering children are
suffering I mean especially I want to the point of the women the argument who
are living a joint summary they are running on the roadway okay and they are
giving everything everything they find their body everything in the household
are not realizing of fact that how important her health is to perform the
responsibilities better in fact if she does they got some time for yourself
she is questioned okay and she feels guilty she feel guilty for not taking
care of our concert to give giving her time to herself so what I want to say
get this if these issues if Dean Hadid if the in generation which are given us
in in our book if these are discussed openly with all the family members even
the elders and the young it be a dissertation it accurately as we other
to not she will not feel guilty you know she may not care for her business
so for important yeah and I think it's so important when you you put that ahead
of like I understand like in a cultural sense especially if you're in a joint
family there's a hierarchy going on in the house and I totally understand that
and it's very hard because the hierarchy dictates what happens down below and and
it can be very difficult for women to really
take that time away and I think my my suggestion to be on the healthy side
right it would be just start in your bedroom because everybody has a room or
has a little space and YouTube is wonderful if you have no money
YouTube is wonderful to find in its definition yes yeah and I think that
would be the most basic to start yourself with and like you said small
small steps and doing it consistently and then go from there and you'll see
because I can guarantee like I was you know we did my husband I did it in
wintertime we could go anywhere my baby I had like a little baby he was like a
few months old I couldn't take him out push I got like wish tracks around me I
can't questions later yeah yeah that's it that is too big for
me to push in a pusher but we were like in the you know larger doing Shaun T
Shaun T's workout and husband or wife jumping up and down on bang I hope
people downstairs don't hear it you know but like we could say we did it
consistently and we we sort of the progress we we did measurements and we
weighed ourselves and we do every two weeks and you would be amazed to see
like in two weeks what you could achieve and I think it's
like a 90 day program but it was yet it was amazing yeah it's like a lot
probably approach I mean you can't do it yourself
and so it's a little soggy apportion up something and say for example your
mother isn't all you know I mean men especially men I'm addressing them do
not do not behave there's not there's no problem acknowledge there is a problem
going on okay and instead of just being up just giving a blind eyes or and then
trying to be in good shoes of both your wife and your mother and your mother I
mean do something about it I mean this is to again 7/7 win together let them
have that bond together you know and I don't blame the mother Islam may be just
like we were not discussed all you thinking about they might not have been
knowing about all these facts and all these Sooners and the importance of
healthy life you know that's why they have got all
the simulations and all this in a way and you know all these other problems
comes in yeah so this man just stood up in the mouth this helps let your wife
help your mother on the treadmill let them enjoy swimming together you know
let them improve that bond between them they would have something better to do
than to just stand with them before for Volterra themselves or whatever you know
just there in the simple you need to hear if you want if you want change I
need to need to make the change doesn't just happen and I think that I'm seeing
a big rise in our generation that when like the women are really making a
change and the men are stepping up to help with that change but not this is
not always the case and yeah it's not always the case like you said and I
think it you know it's really important to to be educated in that sense to be
educated about what you know what we should be doing to care for ourselves
and and because like if you're not looking after yourself who else is going
to do it like nobody's going to exercise your body for you make sure you do it
yourself I'm talking about the famine I'm talking about the educated families
but I think education is not the one education we see is education about our
religion I'm not talking about like doctors and
stuff like that I'm not talking about lawyers I'm talking more about being
educated about our rights and and our rights of our own body as well mmm so we
can show a dance of them and she can go about freely in taking care of her
health even the elders a sick sick participant
is very important for old people when they are aging is more important for
them to the differences when follows an accident and one of the thousands each
come with it or do they have to keep continue moving you know so we are as
there can be members we as self daughter-in-laws and sons we have to
help them out to you know and to pull about and pull together with other
family even kids you know why do we need to celebrate an occasion with unhealthy
food stuff yes yes why do we have to go don't be organized on front of a spot
like so many schools or football or our swim or a hike or trekking with the
whole family enjoy that that celebrate the occasion I mean don't they do more
to work for joints like you know forward Happy Meals
we just subside you need to bring that smile there are many other ways to bring
a smile to your child take the mountain it means a register for vacation when
you have seen the photos with camper vacation you know an adventure vacation
all organized by by by these groups they are everything organized theory
accommodation your and your activities your everything is taken care of just
enroll in that go as a family together enjoy the activities and the family now
now see it important to put the technology down you know put down the
phone put down the iPads and just just enjoy what is and like I mean we just
had four holidays here in Australia well in South Australia collective weeks and
then because it's winter it's the quickest way we live in apartment is a
bit hard for us to get out and when the sun's out like on like let's go to the
park let's go get this energy out and you know it's an amazing thing to let
them just run wild run free because these kids boys have energy in them and
if we like just keep feeding them like food all the time and giving them the
iPads and stuff you know it is not you're not really helping them they need
to be they built to do that like the energy needs to come out exactly so when
we talk about like healthy foods and children and children lightly healthy
foods what is your advice in that sense in getting them involved exactly you
know and it's what I wanted me to try to start began as early as possible that's
better but even if you have not make efforts
you know bring bringing their friends you know being best friends for some
kind of creative activities with fruits and vegetables let them let me enjoy the
different you know the design then copying and and then enjoy them having
it and then understanding and the benefit of these fruits and vegetables
and again is it interesting if you look at it you know it is very creative there
are activities we can do with children you know instead of taking them off just
for in a passport and everything Dignan all for trips or in colleges yeah
anything else yeah I totally agree with you in that and and I think that was one
of the trends that I've seen like we're talking about being present and like I
would say that sometimes I'm not prison because I'm like you know my mind is
running a million miles an hour I think that the more that you're present with
your yourself your children your family your partner
your parents you you will start to see things fall into place because you are
more mindful of what's happening in front of you you're more aware you're
more conscious about the decisions you make and this also includes food you're
more mindful about what you're putting in your mouth you're more mindful about
what you say to people and I'm not saying that you're going to be then all
the time like I'm not saying that please I mean we're human we're allowed to have
emotions or allowed to go crazy once in a while because that's what we do but
you know but when you're able to be more present in your life you're sleeping you
know fall into place and we need to put our bones down we need to put fish off
the TV nothing one of the things that we started to implement with my own family
was to have no TV when it's dinnertime but yeah that for us sometime you're not
supposed to watch TV you know and that becomes it mindless eating watching can
you continue eating isn't there how much and how many things exactly exactly
exactly so you decide and you're watching something else
and it's better you know you sit in front with your family and you have a
discussion about stuff about what's going on but how you feel what never
what have you achieved and that's a different conversation so you're more
present so yeah opportunity to discuss food and everything and to learn
everything and also the important pain greater than your when you're preparing
your children in a particular manner they are the ones
who want me to come back to you when you don't follow it yourself
I for a reminder for you yeah and you don't do something and then they
remember you didn't tell me to do that players are you doing it that for now
that's something that even people were very clever are they certainly are all
right was there anything else that you wanted to share with us because I think
that you know you've given us a really good tips and and I think that I
actually learned a bit about what the Sun nurse says about our bodies and how
we should be treating it as for me I did not know that it was that important
yes in here yes I had an electric eye and died having two more points I mean
about YouTube yeah I was about my religion so much I like it like it like
it was not like I was hoping opening up the Quran and trying to read
the translation and it's also inform the YouTube from all these lovely speakers
that I came to know so much about meditation I came so close to my
religion and also about all different aspects of religion so I think there
should be more videos done by these well-known speakers on health because we
don't find many you know I mean I read in sitting have to type in health as for
Islam is there a YouTube video done by any color or any speaker there would be
very few person but if you talk about my favorite Sheikh mana define and shake
your fist yzi and the Sheikh miskeen ink take home our paramount maybe when a
rich people listen to you know their families actually stick with the
children showing them these videos so I have a dreary request that these
scholars and they speakers would come home mode is more videos on health
issues on understand offer us or affirm you know like in the most even the good
but try to put but they should include these topics I do not avoid all the
schools but definitely Islamic foods definitely some great schools mission is
use visa not ask the part of the curriculum so the children are getting
prepared why from a very young age and I believe that when these teachings and
then these the directions are given from recognizing City
and people it's taken more seriously and cut in the homes and NPCs taken more
seriously by parents and the family as a whole so spreading spreading the word
thoroughly and then just getting it out there and and allowing it just grow from
there yes not just us as individuals as parents but also the more society I mean
we live in a multicultural society in UK well now is the second largest religion
and motion for the vast majority of population how many how many genes do
you find there which are only for women how many games do you have we have only
only for Muslims for only for most prominent in our activities here there
are very few believe me there are very very few so why don't we take it it
means effort like for example in the most you're raising charities right for
different causes make this one of your important cause if you don't have a gym
in your locality raise charity for your gym for only Muslim for one give them in
yeah you know which 30% make these things available for you now it's not to
make change in you know if we are not showing importance how it is fighty
going to give us what we don't want we have to create the demand we have not
done that yeah because it are putting enough it without putting enough
important colors that's important that's why this is long existence maybe that's
why we're not getting help from the larger institutions and organizations
who are taking care of the health of society as a whole
I'm not giving us our space taking care of our requirements of our you know
environment mmm indignant I love that I love and
like I think it's also want to check with your like local organizations and
see if they have some good run oh it's very hard of it here as well to find
that I think there might be two here in South Australia that just served women
so there's not that many I know that local Muslim organization does like
classes for women but I mean it's like once a week so you know you still need
to nothing think that's that's the main thing how much importance are we are we
as Muslims getting to our religion pedido actually makes trail mix this is
in comparison to fighting to change theme for up you know because we are
there market - yeah yeah exactly exactly
awesome so do you have something else that you wanted to share and I think
that's covered
yes I think yeah I think one thing is one more thing is like why we where
you're actually going wrong we are not taking care of our health we are
listening to our doctors more than we are listening to our religion for
example in on it says there is a piece of flesh in our body if we keep that
fine right the whole body is working properly right
and that piece of flesh is the heart with nominative the hadith and the sign
today is the same thing your heart is the most important occupation body if
you keep it working properly the other organ can also work properly and it
tells us to stay away from fatty foods to stay to sleep properly to exercise
regularly to be a tool to remove stress from your life you know and what are the
criminals feed properly eat healthy sleep properly
I mean exercises are an important part of our business vision this Martin spoon
of our power or quadrilogy no for services or services to be grateful for
we can stay happy all these things they keep us healthy
so why don't we listen to this enough and other than wait for a body to
deteriorate and then reach the doctors and the doctor coming is the same thing
to do what we were told some disability exactly exactly everything was already
there and you know like you know you talk about this and make exercise and
stuff like that like back in the day like it wasn't particularly like
exercise to say because they were always very active because I didn't have what
we have today to make us lazy like they would have to walk far place maybe I'm
walking and insulting and physical activities want the IMP there in the
senescence mmm-hmm exactly yeah exactly exactly so like
sometimes we need to just stop and reset because we get so caught up in in stuff
and but I would say that I've had to stop and reset a few
and it's okay so they're like I think people feel like a sense of failure and
you know when when things don't work out their way or maybe they got injured and
they you know they fell off the wagon and I think you know it's really
important to address that as well because like when you fall off the wagon
people kind of get discouraged and I get that I get that because you know it's
like here we go again um I would I would probably say to be
more kind in yourself and like you've fallen off you don't have to wait for
the next Monday or the next first of the month or the first of gender if you just
jump on the next day you know you fell off the wagon time yes I had a knee
injury recently I was off fighting for two months Wow so big it was really hard
but then alhamdulillah I am back contractors you just don't get back on
it one one day it takes time and it happens and just believe that it is
going to happen with your effort so just don't give options to do what they're
you can and you really grow so when you were injured did you do something that
was like that wasn't so intense for oh I am I wait like whatever I could do I was
using plants my ways I was doing my core exercises I was doing well as stretching
I could do although I was not allowed to run at all but up every other thing what
I could do obviously are all showing up in the gym anyway so I was doing
something better than making up with nothing
yeah so there there are other options like you know if you've injured yourself
there's other things that you can do and and that's really important and you talk
about just being consistent that's really a key thing to it and you know if
you've been consistent for a month like I would say you know you would see a
difference and it's also about forming a habit as well which is a whole other
thing in the back to being consistent and forming a habit where it becomes
like you've just rolled out of bed and you brushed your teeth do you want it to
become a habit and when it comes you have if you don't have to make any
efforts to do information you just do it you know just just still message to all
the women out there that you are important not only not only for anybody
else around you or for yourself or our religion but a lot of
you are very important so just one simply in taking care of yourself just
just go for it you know just I mean it's just about educating yourself and others
around you and not feeling guilty of or chattering we get rid of that guilt you
deserve it yeah all right I I really appreciate you
