What are some of the habits that you are working on this year?
I need to also creat more time for myself. The things I used to love. Long, complicated story, but I think I will
I've also given up soda. I had a pretty heavy habit for several years and even though I drank only diet soda, I knew that it contains ingredients that are harmful over time. I drink ice water now and occasionally I'll have a carbonated juice drink like San Pellegrino just to change things up a bit but I don't miss the soda and I can feel a positive difference in my overall wellness. I think it's very important to take time for relaxation and reflection and devoting time to the people we love. I used to be an avid reader and would sometimes devour a book in a day! But now, I have some medical issues that have affected my eyesight along with other aspects of my health and reading has become difficult for me to do. I've tried audiobooks a couple of times, but I have so many other responsibilities throughout the day to stay focused on what's being said. I keep having to rewind the stories to the beginning of a chapter and it starts to feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog Day. LOL
It's wonderful that you're doing all of these things for yourself, Safia. We all need to take time for ourselves and for the important people and things in our life. I think it's easy to forget that our health and wellbeing are important, not only to us. but to those who love us and depend on us to be present in our relationships with them. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! 💛🕊️🙏
We don’t expect a vegetable plant to keep producing vegetables if it doesn’t get sun, water, space, air and occasional fertilizer. Why do we expect we can prosper to be able to do good to others if we don’t get the rest, food, time, exercise, and spiritual growth we need?
I started reading every day again for pleasure 2 months ago. It has brought back the pleasure of a good story and slow moments. ❤❤❤❤
It's wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for sharing it ❤️
You are a beautiful soul and I truly admire you. When we finally figure out that we need quiet time and self care is truly a turning point in our lives. That is how we allow God to guide us, to speak through us and to receive blessings and abundance. Most people realize this much older than yourself. You truly are an old soul here to help others and to help yourself in growth with all that is. God bless you dear lady, you are a shining light for this beautiful world.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment ❤️. May God Bless you and your family. Sending love and peace 😀
That was a beautiful, Thank you.
♥️💜♥️
I stopped drinking soda almost two years ago. Like you said, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I only have it when I go out, which is 1-2x a month, mostly. Although I do have some fizzy waters at home sometimes (I never drink juices)
Sugars not good on many levels
I've mostly drank "diet" sodas but those aren't good for gut health that can trigger weight issues
Our cultures won't always understand one another but it's enough to say, I don't understand you, but I believe you
We all didn't get here by osmosis
Lovely video Safia 😊 So nice to see that you are enjoying your new inner peace ❤
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing your amazing resolve! I agree with everything you said 😭💕🙏🏽. I have been an avid reader since I could read! I can't imagine my life without books and 300+ page books I can read in a day. Soda is not ever on my shopping list but I consider it a treat when I do drink it nowadays. I used to drink soda Every Morning, as if it were breakfast! 🤦🏻♀️🤣 I love that you take time out for yourself and your loved ones. And your garden is looking fantastic! Since I'm retired I have lots of time to myself but make time for my grandkids for any reason. They're worth every missed meeting and every rescheduled appointment ❤. I decided this summer I would take my two grandsons to the matinee and lunch every other week on bargain days, and I don't look forward to anything as much as this. I make it up to my baby granddaughter by spoiling her rotten 😅. I love your life's path right now and I hope it continues to stimulate this immense wellness for yourself and your loved ones who, for me, are so fortunate to have you in their lives, especially Ali 💙. Thank you!! Be safe in all you do, whether reading or making delicious food, or just enjoying a quiet cup of chai 🍵❤
Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment 😀 I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying your time with you grandkids. It is so precious to spend quality time with family and loved ones. ❤️❤️❤️
A really pretty video with very good advice! I am glad you quit soda, it can cause many health problems. It is very important to live a thoughtful life! ❤ ps, Mehboob has broken his knee and Manzoor is honoring a Sufi Saint. They have just been driving around like crazy, and Mustafa caught them fish! Take care! ❤❤❤😊
Very uplifting video, you are a great writer and video creator.
Thank you. That means a lot ❤️😊
Masha Allah! You, the message, content, everything is beautiful. Beautiful both inside out. My soda story is also like your story. The craving eventually disappears, but my mind was like its been so long ,lets have some. But I haven't. And thanks to you for re-motivating me that I'm on the right track. Sending lots of love and duas to you, Ali bhai and your family. Alhamdulillah.
Aww, thank you so much❤️. I am glad to hear that you have quit soda. May Allah bless you and your family 😊
Hi Safia. Thanks for sharing your tips. ❤
Hello, 🤗 Thanks for watching! ❤️
I am glad you quit soda! It is so expensive and not good for one in anyway. I am more impressed by your incredible persistence to read books---a paragraph a day, and up to a page---and now entire books. I love to read, especially books set in foreign cultures--Japan, Mexico, countries of Africa, India, etc. And non-fiction (research based books) too. My great support and admiration go to you. Of course, family is the greatest accomplishment to have as a successful goal in life. When you have few family near you, the ones far away become even more important, and all your friends are giants in life. I am personally working hard on mastering new cooking skills and learning even more about gardening. Both are great goals as they are so beneficial in both the doing and having!
Thank you so much for such a great comment 😊. Happy learning and good luck ❤️.
zabardast mashallah ❤
I’m working on these things 🧡
So glad to hear that ❤
Whatever that's not a burden or for the sake of itself & that's enjoyed anyhow but still with basic goals in mind
I build upon where I'm already at and just let the chips fall where they may
Spaghetti squash is very healthy
Soothing vegetables etc very good for health like squash, asparagus, avocados, mangos, Papaya, water rich fruits and vegetables, etc
This is a lovely video, but I have to ask, what is that purple powdered drink?!
Thank you. That's mangosteen tea.
@@AliSafiaduoI told mangosteens in a couple of videos this year, and I wish I could find some place near me that has them. I'm dying to try them!
One of your favorite novel mam ?
OMG wow where did you bought that truck art kettle ? Is it available online so I can order it ? Btw I love your vlogs ❤
Aww, thank you so much ❤️. I bought the kettle set from the local market here in Karachi, Pakistan. We will find a way for our international audience to buy them. Cheers 😊❤
Is Mudassir's eye still doing well?
Hi Linda, Thanks for asking. Mudassir's doctor advised us that he should not be surrounded by animals/pets as it will increase the infection. But Mudassir loves his pets. Whenever he plays with them his eyes get watery and all. Overall he is doing better Masha Allah 🙂
@ReactistanCouple oh, no! So, an allergy? Maybe wear sunglasses when plying with them....or find allergy tablets/drops to rinse out the eyes. As a minimum, always wash his hands after touching the animals. A friend of mine is allergic to cats, and when I had a very small apartment, she could come over and spend time there, as long as she did not touch the cat. Once she actually touched the cat, she would start sneezing and her eyes would itch.
