Here is my unsolicited list of books to buy from #JalsaCanada 📚

[Misbah T. 🦋 @MsBookmark]

See my day to day life as fun.

All my utensils and stuff are like toys.

From dumbbells to even my stickers and pencils.

And right when I am trying to be more intentional about incorporating that idea into my life….

I come across this book on Libby.

I love it when you are playing around with a hypothesis in your mind and then Allah confirms it instantly.

I’ve been thinking a lot about adding playfulness back into my life.

How did I start doing that?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Don't spend too much time around someone whose primary way of engaging with life is as a martyr. When suffering becomes your identity, you only see the hard parts of life.

@faezaoutloud Same sister.

FRIENDS THAT HAVE KNOWN YOU THROUGH ALL YOUR VERSIONS, THEY BE REAL ONES!

Delayed gratification is the key to life.

Had this conversation with some children today that “play” is important in adult life as well.

For me it’s cooking, cleaning, organizing, painting, drawing, reading, etc…

For my husband it’s woodworking, driving, building robots with our kids…

[I appreciate you. @DeeLaSheeArt]

Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks stocked in case of a bad day. You have more control over your joy than you think.

Your humble reminder:

“If we don’t take care of our bodies,
where are we going to live?”

[Misbah T. 🦋 @MsBookmark]

Time and time again I get reminded how important it is to take time out for myself.

I literally operate from a full cup.

@faezaoutloud It’s the best ! I always have it when I go back lol like a child

[Misbah T. 🦋 @MsBookmark]

Jamaica is the same way.

People welcome kids with smiles and enthusiam.

[Tiago Forte @fortelabs]

The attitude toward children in Mexico couldn't be more different than the U.S.

Children aren't merely tolerated, they're actively welcomed everywhere. And not in a weird, overly patronizing way

They're just expected to be part of any typical adult situation, not tucked away in a safety-labeled, anesthetized, parallel kids' world

Spend all day resetting the house after hosting for a whole week.

As much as I love having people over I also love getting back on routines.
