In this episode of the Islamic Life Coach School Podcast, I will guide you on how to navigate  challenges without letting them consume you. Through body-based techniques like progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing, along with alternate nostril breathing, you can begin to heal and find closure. The journey towards self-healing has a learning curve, but with these tools, you can start small and continue to build your practice.

I talk about emotional release exercises such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), artistic expression, and the Chasing the Pain technique. I also talk about guided imagery, stretching, and prayers - all tools that can help manage our emotions, and decrease distress. 

We delve deeper into how prayers, as a form of somatic technique, can root us emotionally, directing the brain's focus to the Divine. Coupled with Somatic level exercises and body awareness techniques, we'll learn how to achieve tranquility and inner peace.

What is the true essence of resilience and what is a modern construct?
I attempt to answer that and clarify what resilience is SUPPOSED to mean

I tackle the modern day misuse of resilience, particularly its association with incessant productivity and disregard for your well-being. I challenge the norm that women should exhibit constant resilience. 

To me, recognizing and tending to your own needs before a meltdown is fundamental for your health.

Let's embark on a journey to redefine resilience through understanding and respecting our bodies, embracing our roles, and nourishing our faith and humility. 

I also talk about the concept of grit, its alignment with actual resilience, and the power of prayer in seeking guidance and solace. I invite you to redefine resilience on your own terms and create a personal resiliency plan to manage life's challenges better, improve your mental fitness, and strengthen your bond with Allah SWT.
