Wisam Sharieff – Starting To Understand Our Bad Habits – Vlog 9 – 40 Days To Umrah

			As a como Rahmatullah Peace be upon you, around you, and may begin to emanate within your thoughts
within yourselves, within your moment to moment awareness and within your gut within what you eat
daily, may there be Salam around you and make it come out from within you. As salam alaykum
warahmatullahi wabarakatu branches, we're now on day nine, yesterday kind of opened up that idea of
changing some of our habits, we're not looking at good or bad, we're not looking at addicted or not
addicted, because then everyone's going to everyone's gonna have their two cents. No, I'm not a
doctor, no, I don't have bad habits, we're going to look at things that you want to take control
		

			over, we're going to look at not only identifying a habit, identifying something that you want to
take control over. So are you addicted to Netflix? Are you addicted to X, Y, or Z? Maybe not, but
why not pull it under control, and then have it as a tool, meaning everything that you do as a quote
unquote, bad habit, it's gonna make you feel good. So before we jump ahead, what I'd like to do in
day nine, pre O'Meara prep, what are we doing? We're gonna try to identify for three days, if you
can write down a daily journal. So activity number one, I'll have you doing it during O'Meara
anyway. Can you make a daily journal where you write down the things you're doing? And if you can't
		

			get that far, at the end of the day, can you write down some activities, some things that bothered
you? Like, everyone's got a different bad habit, but I want us to start identifying and getting past
once we write down what we're doing for two or three days, and I'll do that with you. I want to get
past whether it's hookah or whether it's, I don't want to name a habit, because then you're going to
categorize and you're a you have just judged someone who, who, who has a different problem than you.
And B, you're going to try to solve the problem. And yesterday said, if you make mistake, feel
guilty about it, and then you do not,
		

			you're not set yourself up to form the habits of success, then guess what, you're gonna say I stuck
for a lot of stuff for a while, I'm never going to do it again, you're gonna feel guilty, you're
gonna set yourself up have the same trigger that leads to the habit batter good, the same triggered
leads to the same habit, we're going to need to set up some new anchors. So now, maybe we're not
going to identify and get rid of your bad habit, maybe we're going to figure out why it is that
we're doing it. And what void there is that needs to be fulfilled. Now, I have lectured you for a
whole three minutes now. So I'm going to try now I'm going to try to get off this tip here. Write a
		

			journal, tell me this is what you do. And when you start seeing things in your day that you're not
so happy about. It could be snacking, oh, I used to be a late night snack or I just like, I like to
crush crunch something in the evening. Someone's gonna say something about my band. I'd like you to
take it into consideration. It could be snacking, it could be gaming, it could be * pot.
It could be anything that you deem to be an ill, it's filling some void. Now why I need to put my
Quick disclaimer, if you are find yourself compelled, compulsively attracted towards the thing. If
you are ie addicted to a narcotic, to some type of abusive
		

			activity as in cutting, or something else that you know, that you need to seek help for, then go
ahead and do this. I'm not talking about self loathing on Facebook. Right now I'm talking about the
things that you know, have a chemical pull on your body. So if you're, if you're gaming 10 hours a
day, that's got a chemical, there's a feedback loop in your head, if you're watching things on the
internet, friends, if you're smoking pot, and you're still saying, oh, you know, it doesn't affect
me, it's like this look, but I'm a little beyond. I am not in your zone right now. You got to get in
your own zone and talk to yourself. So that's my disclaimer, definitely counseling and help for
		

			addiction and other types of
		

			other habits that have taken over you have to be responsible for but now I've spent this much time I
hope on day nine, we start making our journal, finding out what activities are not our favorite. And
then after three days, we'll take those activities and then let's start to find out what's the
trigger that make me eat at night. Well, having snacks next to my bed made me eat at night. What
triggers me to listen to some music or watch something that I don't later on want to watch
backbiting checking Facebook, it could be anything that you want to take control over pre O'Meara.
And, you know before we get too excited, there's a long day ahead Gemma Kareem hope you enjoy sort
		

			of got half. Let's get a little bit together.
		

			there, but that's what we're talking about today. We will be learning he may not show you on your
Raji
		

			is we learn here. Money Rahim. Al Hamdulillah. He led the
		

			other day in kita. While I'm young John Lowe Who are you want to
		

			call up Madeline? Robertson? She D them Mila doon Who are you over shield on remote meaning are you
bashing? Me Nina lady nyama Luna Swanee hottie nulla womb, no womb, Joan on her son. I read with you
so that we could recite these ideas in Madina Munawwara. And while we make the walk together, if you
can come out to Omaha, it's great, but I really feel like we're on to something bigger. Now. If you
come to Omaha this year, next year with me without me, I think that's besides the point. I think in
the last nine days, we figured something out better. Let's identify those habits that we can take
control of let's set up the habits of success. Speaking of habit of success, speaking of habits of
		

			success, like to close out today with Surah Mulk. We were on aisle eight, nine.
		

			Somewhere around there. It was a long Friday for me, I really enjoyed it headed out to New Jersey
tomorrow HHR de event for the brothers and sisters in Syria, making an effort to make a move now
before it gets really cold and it's already cold. They're moving people who are intense into
something a little bit warmer. I really need you to do an act of loving kindness for them right now.
Think about them in your heart and say, Oh Allah in 10 good for them. That's that's a story for
tomorrow. If we could start to pick up and conclude today, not just looking at the negative but
focusing on the positives that you're putting this new ritual every night to or Mulk kind of
		

			lullabies you to sleep or what do we learn? He made a shaytani Raji with a posture of dignity suck
the year into your mouth.
		

			Or Lou Birla on the
		

			zero fat cat seven our cool man azana Allahu means she in two feet what learning Kirby
		

			walk all Lulu who can spa Oh, now you know Monken fee fi hub is re flower Tila fool visa vie him.
First of all, God really else have this very
		

			till the end of the Surah 30 verses we're on our ninth day on our way down. I ask Allah subhanaw
taala to accept our recitation and just remember that even the people who will suffer a punishment
in the Hellfire will it admit to things we'll call you local Nana smart. Oh now who had we just
listened or just thought? think better of yourself? Give more value to yourself. And it will make a
lot more sense to you. Because habits are something you have control over. Let's just put to a mug
and it's recitation to bed tonight. And tomorrow, let's wake to better activities. And May there be
peace upon you this evening around you and may it surround you as you sleep. May your sleep lead to
		

			a period of healing for you or Saramonic mark to catch up with you all tomorrow.
