5 Non-Negotiables That Will Make or Break Your Day

In this episode of Wellness with Noora, we discuss habits that are not just recommendations; but are non-negotiable practices that nourish the mind, body, and soul, ensuring a day that is balanced, healthy, and aligned with your purpose. From connecting with the Qur'an to staying hydrated, fueling your body with nutritious food, moving, and resting—these habits create a strong foundation for finding balance and peace.

Affirmation:

“I am committed to habits that nourish my mind, body, and soul.”

1. Qur’an:

Spending a few minutes with the Qur'an (listening, reading, reciting) helps you connect with Allah, find guidance, and center your soul. It sets a spiritual connection that sustains you throughout the day.

2. Water:

Staying hydrated is vital for both physical and mental health. Drinking water helps maintain energy levels, enhances clarity, and supports overall well-being.

3. Nutrition:

Nourish your body with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Choosing nourishing foods fuels your body and mind, setting you up for a successful day.

4. Movement:

Incorporate at least 5-10 minutes of daily movement. It could be a walk, stretching, or a short workout. Movement releases tension, boosts mood, and increases energy levels.

5. Rest:

Prioritize rest throughout the day—whether through sleep, a nap, deep breathing, or moments of stillness. Rest is essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being and preventing burnout.

In this episode, I’m diving into the concept of self-image, exploring both the mental and physical aspects of how we see ourselves. I’ll also provide practical tips for developing a positive self-image, including practicing self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, and setting achievable goals. As always, I’ll bring in Islamic perspectives on self-love and modesty, encouraging you to find beauty and confidence in your unique journey.

What is Self-Image:

I’ll help you understand the mental and physical components of self-image.

Affirmations: to boost self-love and confidence.

- "I am beautiful in my skin."

- "I am beautiful without makeup."

- "I love myself unconditionally."

- "I give myself the self-love and affirmations that I'd love to hear."

Mental Self-Image:

I’ll talk about the role of positive thoughts and affirmations in boosting confidence and combating self-doubt.

Physical Self-Image:

Together, we’ll navigate societal beauty standards and learn to embrace our natural beauty. I’ll also discuss Islamic views on modesty and self-worth.

Practical Tips:

- Practicing Self-Compassion: Approaching oneself with the same kindness and understanding as one would offer a close friend.

- Challenging Beauty Standards: Resisting the pressure of trending beauty standards while staying true to one's authentic self.

- Identifying and Replacing Negative Self-Talk: Recognizing negative thoughts and learning how to replace them with positive affirmations.

- Setting Realistic Goals: Setting achievable goals to boost self-esteem and maintain motivation.

- Daily Self-Care Routines: Engaging in simple, effective self-care practices that honor the mind, body, and soul.

Activity:

Reflect on your accomplishments—no matter how small—and recognize your inner strengths and beauty.

Remember, true beauty and self-worth are rooted in kindness, self-love, and authenticity. I encourage you to beign this journey of self love, embracing both your inner and outer beauty as a reflection of the Amanah (trust) Allah has given us.
