Julia Farhana Marin Instagram – . As ramadhan comes to an end, I took some time to reflect through the days of ramadhan and the year before in hopes to make a permanent shift and change until the next ramadhan. Like a new year’s resolution but better. I said to a friend “I am taking a break. Resting. Hibernating” Her honest response’ “I dont believe you. You will find something to do. You are too active. You have too much energy. You will be out and about.” But I did, I took a break. I rested. I devoted my entire time, plans and work revolving around islamic activities, talks, classes and spent more time with my creator. Went to a few events, but I really limited work events. I also limited screen time, social media and friends. I am constantly growing through my experiences. I am always presented with new challenges and endless choices to make in order to move forward. As I rested. I subconciously left all my worldly matters in the hands of Allah swt and I was presented with everything magically working out in my favour. My friend was right though, although I was resting and hybernating – I wasnt actually. I was actively seeking more time, more work, more activity, more learning through religion – more goals 🤣 to achieve. I was resting from worldly work and matters, but it was worth it because I found strength in staying actively grounded. I also REFRAINED from giving comments on issues happening in the industry and learning to force myself into the habit of husnuzon. Keeping my opinions to myself. I have so much to be grateful for. So so much. I am thankful for everything and I pray everyone experiences the same peace, grounding and love I have. Insyallah. Hope you had a great ramadhan ❤️
