The key idea of the video is to make the most of your summer by being present, creating new memories, prioritizing self-care, and avoiding screen addiction.

Key Idea 🔑

Don't let the sun catch you sleeping.The summertime is the best time of the year to wake up 1 hour earlier than you usually do. (That also involves going to bed an hour earlier).The summertime mornings have a magical aura around them. The world is waking up, and if you wake up with it, you'll feel all the energy it can give you.

🌅 Wake Up Earlier

Being a person in the world doing nothing will feel infinitely better than being a recluse doing nothing.Just being outside 4 walls, around other people will make a significant change.Personal challenge: Go talk to a stranger today. You'll be amazed by how receptive and friendly people really are.

🚶Go Outside As Much As You Can

Design your environment in a way that won't keep you stuck inside and not want to leave.Design your environment in a way that refreshes and recharges you to go back out into the world and continue the momentum.Don't make your house too comfortable.

🏠 Optimize Your Environment

Don't try to recreate the golden years, be present instead.You probably have memories of days gone by. Summers you spent with your friends on the beach when you were younger...Don't compare your present moment with that. One thing that you can do to ensure that you create new valuable memories is to just focus on the present moment and be intentional about the activities you do.

⌛ Be Present

Make adventure a mechanism. Do things that are good for you automatically, without relying on motivation and mood.You already know what's good for you. Usually, these things are uncomfortable, but you have to do them anyway as a mechanism.

⚙ Be Mechanistic

Don't succumb to FOMO. Nobody is nearly having a good time as you think they are.Do not think that everybody who posts their amazing vacation on Instagram has it all figured out and you don't. 99% of people don't have it figured out.

👌 Be OK

How to have the best summer of your life

Listen to recitations of the verse on YouTube for a better understanding of the benefits 👍🔊 👂

Due to a lack of revelation, the Prophet PBUH fell into a depression and was about to give up all hope. These kinds of emotions are common in everyday life. There are instances when we cannot get up in the morning. In addition, we lack faith and pray distractedly.We feel as if we have lost our connection to Allah. When we sense that Allah no longer loves us, we conclude that we aren’t good enough.We will consider how Surat Duha gives us peace of mind.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) received Surah Ad-Duha after six months without any revelation. The Prophet (ﷺ) was depressed and thought that Allah had forgotten him, disapproved of him, and no longer wanted him to be a Prophet.These evil thoughts were alleviated and replaced with hope, positivism, and assurance that Allah is always there for him in Surah Ad-Duha.

Lessons From Surah Duha

That’s what this Surah is all about, and that’s the most important lesson it teaches.<ul><li>Optimism is a virtue we must uphold as Muslims.</li><li>Our ancestors did not intend for us to be a gloomy race.</li><li>Our lives should be filled with hope for Allah’s help and mercy.</li><li>Optimism and hope are essential ingredients in each activity we attempt.</li><li>If we are serious and the endeavor is helpful to the ummah, we must have faith that Allah will support us.</li><li>That mentality should be the driving force behind our efforts.</li></ul>

BE POSITIVE:

<ul><li>Allah reminded us of occasions in the past when He helped His Messenger so that we can keep our spirits up (peace be upon him).</li><li>Many times in the past, Allah has given us prosperity and turned around a difficult circumstance in our own lives.</li><li>Reminiscing about such occasions helps us remain hopeful that Allah will continue to provide for us in the future.</li></ul>

BE THANKFUL: 

<ul><li>A believer’s goals are not selfish and materialistic. Instead, our goals should revolve around the aspirations of believers who aren’t self-centered and selfish.</li><li>The Muslim world thrives because of the generosity of its people.</li><li>Almighty Allah rewards those who give generously, and their wealth multiplies as a result.</li><li>The person who gets the charity is also blessed and now has some money to help him go forward in his own life.</li><li>Charity is a win/win scenario.</li></ul>

BE GENEROUS:

<ul><li>A Muslim’s aim should be to raise and benefit the ummah, which necessitates having an ummah-centric attitude.</li><li>Putting people first should be the ultimate goal of every endeavor.</li><li>As long as our primary purpose is to help the ummah, Allah will reward us with Barakah for our work, companies, resources, and free time we devote to the cause.</li></ul>

1. Wad duhaa— By the morning brightness“Wake up, look at the sunshine!” is the first thing you need to hear if you’re depressed. You only have to glance up to see that life is not all doom and gloom.

Tafseer of Surah Duha

2. Wal laili iza sajaa— And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,Why does this aayah mention darkness right away? To serve as a gentle reminder that the night’s purpose is to protect, comfort, and rest us.Therefore, we can use the night as a consolation to soothe our suffering, according to this aayah.

3. Ma wad da’aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa— Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].One of Allah’s most striking verses reassures the downtrodden that He is constantly at their side, reminding them that He does not despise them or forget them.

4. Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola— And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].Depressed people often wonder: Is this all there is to life? Is there no hope for a brighter future?As a solution to those inquiries, the verses of this aayah serve as a reminder that this world is just transient and that the hereafter awaits us in Aakhira.As a result, we get a positive outlook on the challenges we face in this life and see them as tests of our faith in Allah.

5. Wa la sawfa y’uteeka rabbuka fatarda— And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.As a guarantee from Allah, we can expect a colossal recompense (Jannah) shortly. Subhanallah!Why else would this be the most comforting thing you could ever hear when you’re feeling low and fed up with the troubles of this world?

6. Alam ya jidka yateeman fa aawaa – Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?In the first part of the Surah, Allah gave us a cause to accept His statements and promises.Understandably, many of us are asking ourselves, “How does this aayah concerning orphans connect to most of us Why do you think that a lot of people feel that way when they are unwell or alone?The only person you had with you at the moment was whoever it was. Allah! He was the one who watched over you and helped you get through that difficult period of your life.

7. Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada— And He found you lost and guided [you].As Muslims, how many of us have strayed from Islam in the past, even though we were born into it? Our hidaya was given to us by Allah, and it was He who guided us back to the straight road and Him, transforming us into good Muslims in the process. Alhamdulillah!

8. Wa wa jadaka ‘aa-ilan fa aghnaa— And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.In our lives, the majority of us have likely experienced a lack of financial resources several times. However, in retrospect, we understand that the rizq that took us through those challenging economic times came solely from Allah.To help those who are depressed, show them how Allah has helped them in the past.This will reinforce their faith in Allah’s promises for them in this Surah.

9. Fa is mal yateema fala taqhar — So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].Using this aayah is like taking an antidepressant every day.People who are depressed are preoccupied with their circumstances and believe no one could be in a worse position.When we’re feeling hopeless and down, this ayah encourages us to consider those in far worse positions. Orphans who have no family or loved ones and no one to care for them. Yet, we have loving families and parents who care about us, a place to live and food to eat, yet we perceive ourselves to be in a precarious position? Subhanallah!

10. Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar— And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].Beggars serve as another reminder to us of the various material gifts Allah has bestowed upon us, such as food, clothes, and a place to sleep. The question is, how many of us have gone to bed hungry before? How many of us are without clothing? Have no place to call home?The orphan and the beggar are two people whom we should continually remember to be grateful for the many gifts that Allah has bestowed upon us, overcome our feelings of melancholy, and rediscover our connection to Allah.

11. Wa amma bi ne’mati rabbika fahad dith – But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].The last aayah encourages us to keep our restored trust and connection with Allah alive by meditating on, praising, and extolling His benefits. Whether it’s through halaqas, conversations with loved ones, or even preaching! There are several ways to maintain Allah’s name in your heart, such as dhikr, reading the Quran, and listening to lectures!Inshallah, reading Surah Ad Duha and pondering its contents will revive your faith and strengthen your conviction in Allah’s grandeur and might.

93rd Surah of the Qur’an, “The Morning Hours” (Arabic: الضحى ) is the meaning of this Surah.In the Quran, surah ad duha is the 93rd Surah.In total, there are 11 ayat (verses) in this Surah Ad Duha.

Surah Duha in which Para?

<ol><li>By the morning sunlight,</li><li>And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,</li><li>Your Lord [O Prophet] has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful [of you].</li><li>And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one.</li><li>And your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied.</li><li>Did He not find you as an orphan then sheltered you?</li><li>And He found you lost and guided [you],</li><li>And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.</li><li>So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].</li><li>And as for the beggar, do not repel [him].</li><li>And proclaim the blessings of your Lord</li></ol>

English Translation of Surah Ad-Duha

وَالضُّحَى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى وَلَلآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الأُولَى وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَى أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلا فَأَغْنَى فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلا تَقْهَرْ وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلا تَنْهَرْ وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

Surah Duha Prayer | Secrets and Virtues for anxiety or depression

Resilience is key in responding thoughtfully to unexpected changes. Having the ability to bounce back and adapt is essential in navigating the uncertainties of life and work. As Zeno, a Greek Philosopher, once said: "If you lay violent hands on me, you'll have my body, but my mind will remain with Stiplo." Stiplo being his teacher. What he meant was that even though one attacks me physically, I'll still be safeguarded in his mind.Even though the article states "3 steps" it won't be that simple.

Simple Practices to Overcome the Fear of Uncertainty and Daily Stress

Even though depletion can hinder our ability to maintain resilience, we must find it at all times. When we neglect our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, it becomes harder to stay resilient in the face of stress and uncertainty.That's why establishing rituals to renew and replenish ourselves in various resilience zones is so important. Creating daily practices such as exercise, meditation, and taking breaks helps us recharge and build resilience in different aspects of our lives. So, try meditating for 5 minutes when you feel the most stressed during your day. It will help!

Depletion and its ability to tear us down. Fight it

Resilience is about embracing change with strength. It's about accepting that change is constant in life and being able to navigate it with grace and adaptability.By incorporating activities that promote well-being and stress relief into our routines, like exercise and self-reflection, we can cultivate resilience daily. Besides these, you can start a gratitude journal. It can build resilience due to the fact that you spend the day with negative points, but when you finish the day and review it, you understand the positive points in your life. And that's what a gratitude Journal can do for you.

Navigating gracefully through change

"There is only one path to happiness, and that is in giving up all outside of your sphere of choice" - Epictetus, Discourses

The one path to serenity

The author also states a method he likes to use, which I find rather interesting, which is the Pause-Ask-Choose method. With 3 simple steps which are pretty obvious:

Pause-Ask-Choose

Stop and take deep breaths to create space for conscious thought.

PAUSE

Reframe challenges as growth opportunities by asking empowering questions. For example "What's the creative opportunity here?" or "What don't I see?" or "What can I be grateful for?". Be aware, these are not immediate solutions. But can help you get to a conclusion.

Ritualize recovery through daily practices for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual integration. When we choose, we are consciously ritualizing small, daily practices that can lead to a negative hole. When the choices are done correctly we are preparing to deal with depletion. This is basically living through the toughest winter so everything that comes after is only good, bright, and prosperous.

CHOOSE

Rewire default reactions and develop a mindset that embraces change as an opportunity for growth. Everything outside your control, you should glide past it gracefully.Prioritize well-being and replenish energy reserves to face challenges calmly. Take care of yourself. Prepare the body and the mind equally.By being resilient, you gain an advantage in navigating the ever-evolving landscapes of work and life.

Conclusion

Stress and Anxiety can cause damage to our daily lives, either at work or at home. Control it. Be resilient. Fight what brings you down. And stay consistent.

This simple method can help you build resilience, embrace change and discover opportunities when you are faced with any kind of challenge.

Understand yourself and those around you.

A common people pleasing trait is putting the needs of others above your own needs. Although this can be misinterpreted as being "kind, altruistic", this behavior can lead to resentment in the long- term. Here are some ways to help you overcome this unhealthy habit;

Prioritize Your  Needs as a Sensitive, People-Pleasing Introvert

The first step to any self-development journey is awareness. Begin with jotting a list of your uncompromisable promises. Examples include: 1. Morning walks 2. Eating out once a week 3. Having a "quite hour" for self-reflection every now and then

1. Become Aware Of The Promises You Are Making 

Instrospect on your "why" for the promises you listed. Is it for yourself, or are there to please others? This js necessary as we introverts don't like to disappoint others so we tend to think for others over ourselves.

2. Decide If This Is A Promise You Rally Want To Keep 

Promised your friend that you'd accompany them on their hike trip, but later you feel like you're not up to it? It's totally fine to back out and send your friend a genuine excuse. By doing this, you are practicing the art of listening to your own instinct than pleasing other people.

3. Let go of the self-promises you don’t want to keep 

Decide on a timeline to accomplish your promises and don't let other things get in the way of breaking these promises you keep to yourself.

4. For The Promises You Keep- Set A Deadline 

By starting small you are gathering evidence that you're capable of keeping promises. It will also help you see your self worth and pabe the way to keep more challenging promises.

5. Start Small:Keep One Small Promise To Yourself, Then Add More

Think ahead about what your boundaries will be around your promises, and these different categories of distractions and road bumps. It can be hard to set boundaries as an introvert — saying “no” to others is hard — but it’s necessary for your self-care and well-being.

6. Decide ahead of time what is worth breaking a promise for. 

As highly sensitive introverts, we especially need that alone time with ourselves. It is not a lie to say, “I’m scheduled at that time. Do you have time next week?” Time with ourselves is just as important (if not more so) than time with others.

7. Treat your time as the valuable commodity

Honoring your promises may involve that people-pleasing swear word: “No.”Saying “no” will probably be new to you and to the people who hear it come out of your mouth for the first time, but they will protect your mental health in the long run.

8. Honor your promises, for they reflect your priorities.

Learn some key tips on prioritizing your promises and non-negotiables. Especially for instroverts and people pleasers.

Highly sensitive introverts don’t like to disappoint others, but putting your needs first is important for your mental health.

The Most Underrated Secret to Happiness REVEALED

Some couples never seem to argue. They are very polite to each other, saying thank you a lot and doing nice things like making each other tea. They get worried when they hear about other people fighting. It's okay if they feel a little proud of themselves for not arguing. But just because they don't argue doesn't mean their love is healthy. When two people try to live together, they will have differences and problems. Not arguing might mean they don't care anymore, not that they are mature. The goal is not to avoid arguments completely, but to learn how to argue in a better way.

How To Fight In Love

The most important idea is to remember that both of us are imperfect and sometimes a little crazy. We shouldn't think we are always right and that our partner is always wrong. We should accept that we both make mistakes and need forgiveness.

People listen better when they feel loved instead of attacked. If we want our partner to understand us, we should express our love before bringing up a problem.

People don't change quickly, especially when someone is pushing them too hard. We should not expect our partner to change exactly the way we want and as fast as we want. We should be patient and not lose hope.

Instead of thinking that our partner is the only annoying one, we should remember that everyone has flaws and can be difficult sometimes. The problem we have in our relationship is common to many others. It's a part of being human, and we can find some humor in it.

Our partner's behavior is not always about us. They have their own worries and past experiences that shape them. We should try to understand where they are coming from and not take everything personally.

We need to choose the right time to argue. Arguments are not just about logic but also about emotions. So, it's better to wait until we are calmer and have a better chance of resolving things.

We shouldn't avoid talking about problems just because it feels uncomfortable or embarrassing. We should be brave and honest, as long as we approach it with love and care.

It's not important to prove that we are right all the time. Our goal should be to have a happy relationship with our partner, not to win arguments. Even if we have fights and say hurtful things, it's normal. Love can be messy sometimes, and arguments can bring us closer in the end.

Arguments in relationships are always tricky but given that they are also inevitable, the skill we need to learn is how to fight well rather than not fight at all. By 'well' we mean, with charity, compassion, understanding, humour, intelligence and good will. Here is a guide to the best sorts of arguments in relationships.

Luck is more than the absence of bad luck, like health is more than the absence of illness.The german term for luck 'Glück' can additionally be translated as happiness and well-being.Psychology differentiates between two concepts of Glück:<ol><li>Hedonic Happiness</li><li>Eudaimonic Happiness</li></ol>

Luck in Psychology

Hedonism is the experience of joy, fun and pleasure while avoiding pain and discomfort. In this concept the key to maximise happiness is to pursue positive emotions and avoid the negative ones. It focus more on short-term gratification.Examples<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Delicious food</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Walk in nature</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Sexual activities</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Entertainment</li></ul>

1. HH - Hedonic Happiness

Eudaimonism can be translated with the 'divine inner self'.
