Pause For Thought
I鈥檓 an all or nothing type girl, and the middle ground is often hard for me to find. I鈥檓 either on a no sugar no carbs diet, or I can be found in a corner eating cake, and that's in every aspect of my life. Take for example Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, as it approached I had several goals in mind, 1) Learn more verses of Quran, 2) do more prayers, 3) volunteer for a local charity, 4) complete 30 days of yoga yet again. The first few days were fine, but by day 7 I started slipping, and halfway through it became clear that I was not going to be able to make up all of the tasks on my tightly packed timetable.听
The feeling of failure stealthily crept in, for the one month in the year that I had actually carved out time, and I could not keep up with my own schedule. Comparing myself to those around me and on social media, it looked as if everyone but me was having this 鈥渟piritual experience鈥. I started judging myself and thought everyone was judging me too, 鈥渨here鈥檚 your sense of discipline, if you鈥檙e gonna flop this month, how are you going to be successful at life鈥 ouch!! Towards the last few days of Ramadan whilst in a procrastinating slump, I got on the internet and started clicking on hashtags to find some form of poetic inspiration, I came across a quote that I had heard before, but it had never really bloomed inside of me until then.听
The 14th century Persian Sufi poet Hafez said: 鈥淩un my dear from anything that may not strengthen your precious budding wings. Run like hell my dear from anyone likely to put a sharp knife into the sacred tender vision of your beautiful heart鈥. Within some Islamic teachings, the heart is the most important house of God. Could it be that I was responsible for desecrating my own temple? The reality hit that I was the only person doing the judging, this Ramadan achievement for me was not about timetabled activities but learning to run away from negative self-talk, and towards self-affirming words of love.
