He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

How To Live

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., Ph.D., was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of Existential Analysis, the "Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy.His book Man's Search for Meaning (first published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism. Originally published in 1946 as Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in existential therapy.

Man's Search for Meaning

Some might question, when we move a lot, how can it be defined as “resting”. This is when we need to understand the real definition of resting. Resting can be done physically such as sleeping. But, the absolute rest is when it is done mentally. Such as taking a walk to the park, having a view at the beach etc.

The Meaning Of Resting

Remember, our brain is our motherboard. To rest well, we need to slow down the function of our brain. This is why sometimes, even we sleep a lot at night but still wakes up sleepy and gloomy. Because our brain is set the night before as tiring and not in the mood of wanting to do anything much.

The Mind

To achieve this, we need to first change our mindset of having a rest is solely by having a sleep. Nope. The real rest comes when we rest our minds well. We need to affirm our mind that everything is going to be fine tomorrow, for whatever reason it is.

Rewire The Brain

When we perform prayer especially as a Muslim, the first word we need to say is by glorifying Allah. There is nothing bigger, more important, more in anything than the prayer itself. Even our problems that we kept in our heart. Put it off to the ground. This is the only time for ‘rest’!

Rest With Prayer

The most crucial part of having a rest with prayer is by resting the mind. Quit anything that distract us from the prayer itself. Either it is about work, relationship, education, financial. Keep the mind free from any bind. Surrender a few minutes of it just for the mind to relax from the worldly matter. Try it!

Relaxing The Mind

“O Bilal, rest yourself by establishing a prayer.”

Have you ever wonder what it means by having rest with prayer? Let’s discover

Understand yourself and those around you.

Inspirational quotes

Guess what? Spending wisely can be your ticket to happiness. Invest in experiences that boost relationships, and health, and add fun to your life. But hey, it’s not about what you buy; it’s the emotions that tag along. That sheer joy of acquiring something new? It’s a real mood-lifter.

Indulge In A Modest Splurge

Here’s a nugget of wisdom – satisficers are happier than maximizers. Translation: spending hours agonizing over the perfect choice? Not a happiness booster. Instead, focus on what you need. Streamlining decisions not only saves time but also keeps those worry lines at bay.

Buy Needful Things

“Spend out” isn’t just about swiping that credit card. It’s a philosophy. Don’t be a scorekeeper in the game of life; let love and generosity flow. Sometimes, the most priceless things can’t be found on a shelf. So, spend out on kindness, spend out on moments, and watch the happiness compound.

"Spending Out" - More Than Just A Shopping Spree

Ever notice that pile of stuff collecting dust in the corner? We all have it. Those things we don’t need, don’t use, but can’t seem to let go. Well, it’s time for a clean sweep. Giving up on extra stuff isn’t being a downer; it’s about making space for what truly matters. Letting go can be liberating – both for your space and your soul.

20 Most Powerful Paradoxes of Life.

The journey to embracing self-love is fraught with obstacles, particularly with the pervasive influence of social media. Daily interactions with these platforms expose us to a barrage of curated images and lifestyles, leading to unrealistic comparisons and self-doubt. This phenomenon challenges our ability to appreciate our unique qualities and achievements, underscoring the importance of recognizing and valuing our intrinsic worth independent of external validations.

Self-Love in the Shadow of Social Media

Measuring our self-worth by achievements can be a double-edged sword, leading to a fragile sense of self-esteem that fluctuates with our successes and failures. This approach often ignites a relentless pursuit of success, fostering a cycle of stress and dissatisfaction. Acknowledging our intrinsic value beyond accomplishments is crucial for cultivating a stable and healthy self-image, promoting well-being and resilience in the face of life's inevitable ups and downs

The Pitfalls of Achievement-Based Self-Esteem

Many individuals fall into the trap of equating their income with their self-worth, a mindset that can erode self-esteem and overall happiness. This perspective fosters a conditional sense of value, dependent on financial success, and overlooks the richness of character, relationships, and personal growth. Recognizing the distinction between financial status and intrinsic worth is essential for nurturing a healthier, more fulfilling sense of self.

Wealth and Worth: Disentangling Income from Self-Esteem

Linking self-worth to educational attainment overlooks the significant role of socio-economic factors, such as parental support and financial stability, in accessing education. This view neglects the essence of individual value that transcends academic achievements and disregards the diverse paths to success and fulfillment. Acknowledging and appreciating the varying opportunities and challenges each person faces encourages a more inclusive and compassionate understanding of self-worth.

Education and Self-Worth: Beyond the Privilege of Opportunity

Comparing our achievements to others' successes without knowing their unique circumstances sets us on a path of unfair self-judgment and dissatisfaction. This habit overlooks the diverse challenges and advantages each person faces, creating a distorted view of success. Recognizing the complexity behind every achievement encourages a healthier, more self-compassionate perspective on our own journeys.

The Illusion of Comparison: Understanding Behind Achievements

Feeling disappointed with our appearance can severely impact our mental health, leading to negative self-perception and unhappiness. Adopting a mindset focused on progressive improvement and self-compassion is vital. Appreciating our bodies for what they can do, rather than solely how they look, fosters a positive self-image and promotes a journey towards well-being that celebrates every step of progress.

Embracing Imperfection: The Path to a Healthier Self-Image

The belief that we must amass a large circle of friends to feel valued and fulfilled is a common misconception. True contentment lies in cultivating meaningful, deep connections rather than striving for a vast network of acquaintances. Prioritizing quality relationships over quantity encourages genuine bonds that offer support and enrichment, enhancing our sense of belonging and well-being.

Quality Over Quantity: Rethinking Friendship Goals

I believe that we all deserve to feel worthy. If you’ve been feeling a bit down and unworthy, do yourself a favor and watch this video!

Loving yourself may sound simple, but we all know how hard it is. It can be a long journey to accepting this, but it’s worth it. As hard as it may be, you should never give up on loving yourself because you deserve it. So here are a few things that do not determine your self-worth.

Watch This If You're Struggling With Your Self-Worth

Balance training is not merely an exercise routine; it's a crucial component for both physical and mental wellness. When you work on your balance, you're not just improving your ability to stand on one leg or perform complex movements; you're also enhancing your body's proprioception. This is your body's ability to perceive its position and movement in space, which is vital for everyday activities and preventing falls.

Equilibrium Unlocked: The Power of Balance Training

Stability training is foundational to both physical and mental health. Physically, it strengthens core muscles, improves posture, and reduces the risk of injury by teaching the body how to correctly manage and distribute weight during movement and at rest.On a mental level, stability exercises require concentration, which can help to clear the mind and reduce stress. The act of focusing on maintaining a stable posture can act as a form of meditation, improving mental resilience and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Stability as the Foundation: Strengthening Body and Mind

Functional core strength is essential for more than just athletic performance; it's a key factor in daily life activities, from lifting groceries to maintaining good posture while sitting. Strengthening the core involves working the muscles around your trunk and pelvis, which are crucial for stability and balance. Physiologically, a strong core reduces back pain, improves posture, and prevents injuries. Psychologically, engaging in core-focused exercises has been linked to improved self-esteem and stress reduction.

Core Values: Building Functional Strength and Mental Fortitude

The relationship between mental health and physical fitness is deeply interconnected. Regular physical activity is a powerful mood booster, known to decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety. Exercises, especially those emphasizing balance, stability, and core strength, require mental focus and discipline, which help to distract from daily worries and reduce stress. Physical activity also promotes the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play an essential role in regulating mood.

Mind Over Muscles: Mental Health's Role in Physical Fitness

The concept of physical and mental wellness being intertwined is gaining recognition. Exercises that focus on balance, stability, and core strength are particularly beneficial for this holistic health approach. These types of physical activities not only strengthen the body and prevent physical health issues but also have a profound impact on mental health. The focus required for these exercises improves cognitive function and encourages a state of mindfulness, which can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
