July - Ramadan & Holidays

This was a beautiful month... ^-^

First week of July was as usual...
Raniya left for India few days before Ramadan. Ramadan Started on 10th.  It was kinda tiring the first day of fast and then I got used to it. Shaimah went to her in-laws house ie. also my Aunts house in Jeddah on 12th. After she left we felt kinda empty - empty type at home. I started reading 'You Can Win' by Shiv Khera for the second time to understand it even more better. When we read books again and again, we learn more and more from it or we understand something which we didn't understand properly the previous time we read.
Its really an amazing book, if you guys love inspiring books then go check it out.
What I learnt?

* How to maintain a positive personality.
* Winners don't do different things, they do things differently.
* How to build a positive attitude.
*The importance of interpersonal skills.

I believe I would be a positive one by the end of this vacation. :)
I was really happy to see by blog 'Fatness to Fitness' cross 6,000 views! :) It all because of you guys...Thanks you so much! ^-^

#13th, I was really worried about completing Qura'n at least once this Ramadan.
I was almost done with my wall decoration. I was inspired to decorate my room wall by my sister Shamsheeda. Her's was really beautiful... I will share the pics of my wall decor in my next post. :)
I was simply converting date of birth of my family members from Gregorian to Hijri Calendar and I realized, according to the Hijri Calendar I was already 17! :O

#15th July, I thought of calling my friend Sarah, since it was a week back that I called her. I was also wondering what Raniya was doing in India. :P
I love Cats/Kittens! And Mom told me, that there was one in my aunts house. I wanted to go their so badly...just to see the cat! :D
And we went there! on #18th... To pick Shaimah.
Gawwdd....the cat was sooo cute. Played with it. It even licked my finger..hehe...
And we went to Sharafiyah that day, which kinda irritated me cos it is always so crowded there and those men who have an annoying habit of staring at girls. >.<

#22nd, I had a pretty good day. I called Sarah...she can entertain people anytime! :D She's like a mood booster for me. :P

 #24th, At 5 a.m I thought of writing in my diary which I actually call a 'Writers Corner book' and Ouch! I got a paper cut, they are just so painful... :/

#25th, I and Shaimah, we made a page on Facebook, You can check it out here - 'Into the Gloss'
My both bro-in-laws (Anees Kaka & Muhammad Kaka) came home and we were all busy. :)
Sarah left for India.

#28th, I bought a new cute purple bag, named it 'Purple Bug.' I will post a pic of it along with my wall decor.
So that's how July was for me, what about you guys? Share your beautiful experiences in July in the comments below. :)

How to Talk with Confidence.

This is a problem faced by most of us. Read on to know how to speak confidently for Seminars or any public speaking competitions.

When you talk with confidence people change the impression they formed of you and believe that you are confident and when you  talk while being shaky because you're afraid that people will judge you in a wrong way then people will confirm the bad belief they had about you. 
You need to talk confidently in order to break the cycle with disregard to your worries about people judging you, then the results turn out to become positive.
Once you feel good about yourself you will start talking with confidence. So learn to love yourself. 

The important three tips:
1. Find out what you don't like about yourself and change it.
2. Once you feel good you will start talking with confidence.
3. People will start forming a positive impression about you.

How do I stop my negative thoughts?

This is a question I've been asked many times. The answer is simple.
How do I stop my negative thoughts? You plant good thoughts!

When you try to stop thinking negative, you are focusing on what you don't want - negative thoughts - and you attract an abundance of them. They will never vanish when you focus on them. The "stop" part is irrelevant. The negative thoughts become your focus.  It doesn't matter if your trying to stop thinking negative or controlling them or pushing them away, the result comes the same. Your focus is on negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction, your inviting more of them.

The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts. Deliberately plant good thoughts! You plant good thoughts by making it a daily practice, appreciate all the things in your day. Appreciate your health, your car, your home, your family, your job, your studies, your teachers, your friends, your surroundings, your meals, your pets and the magnificent beauty of the day. Compliment, praise and thank all the things and people. Each time you say 'Thank you' you have a good thought. As you plant more and more good thoughts,  the negative thought starts to deplete  Why? Because your focus is on good thoughts and what you focus on you attract.
So NO focus on negative things. Don't worry about them, if any do come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to be positive.

The more good thoughts you plant a day, the faster your life will be transformed. Deliberately thinking good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think of the good, your planting good seeds in you and the Universe will transform those seeds into garden of paradise.  How will the garden of paradise appear? As your life! :)

Aaaaaaaaaaah! Just got over my exams, Boards - SA2! Looong time and no posts, have been away from blogger for a long time.

I'm back. :)
HOLIDAYS! Though its kinda boring. It's time for relaxing.

I've been thinking about posting something that could inspire you, help you to understand what you really want in your life, how to focus on it and something that could make you follow and believe in your dreams! In short, Discover you destiny! Might take sometime cos I'm not yet free. My elder sister Shamsheeda just came from Dubai recently. Busy..Busy...but, I will be posting it soon...Ummm...at least by the end of this month.
For now, See ya.

The empty feeling.

The feeling of emptiness is like emotional hunger where you are hungry for something you can't have or get. Depression is one of the strongest reason that can make you feel empty and the combination of both depression and emptiness can be really annoying. You need to figure out your unsatisfied need that is causing this feeling to overcome it. As everyone's unique, each person has a different reason for his / her empty feeling. Most of the people who have the empty feeling inside them have a self understanding problem. Like, if you know that you failed to reach your goal then you would say you are disappointed not empty. In other words, people use this word emptiness to describe a feeling they can't understand. So, gaining self understanding is the most important step in dealing with emptiness and all unwanted emotions. 
You can gain self respect by adhering your values, be brave, never escape and by keeping promises. Keeping promises: Not only the promise you give to others, but also the promises that you give to yourself.

The last fifteen years.

Learning new things are always exciting. I've learned a lot in the past fifteen years from the first step into this world till what I’m doing right now. 
This year unlike the previous year’s taught me quick lessons and brought new people.

'Just these two months and everything will be different.’ This is ringing around. Everyone's moving on. Things aren't working the same here. Mind echos ‘How and why did things not work the way I wanted..?’ Why do I care more about the past than what I really want. 

Sweet Sixteen now, yeah one month passed. I've been waiting for things to happen and did nothing. And now, when I know I could have changed, nothing can be done. 
Desires change each day like I see new dreams every day. Yesterday is different from today. Yeah, that's how mind works now.

The last fifteen years...

All the insane, nostalgic, cheerful, strange and weird moments that will be missed. I never cared about what girls meant when they said they are leaving or when they feared about getting or choosing streams in 11th.

A moment when I realize, I  could have done so many things before and can’t do anything now. 
Shahmida said years back ‘If only I could freeze this moment right now.’  I wish the same!

                                                                       

When nothing can be done. 
I wanna ESCAPE.
