Apr 8 • Daily Journal 📓
Day 7 - Jhapatna, palatna, palat ker jhapatna | 8th April 2026 (Wednesday)
Back at it after a rest day Alhamdulillah! Really wanted to record a video journal today, but couldn’t because of loadshedding.
⭐ One thing to remember about today
Do not underestimate the power of little steps in the right direction, and keep noticing small positive changes in your energy and mood, and try to amplify them as much as possible!
💛 Feel the Love of Allah
Was gonna end up wasting today as well because I overslept in the morning, but had to wake up to go to my sister’s house for something, and eventually decided to come to the office as well!
Many positive additions to the daily routine, doing Quran recitation quite regularly, have unsubscribed from Spotify and instead listening to tafseer lectures in free time. Sat with family to understand Quran together for the first time yesterday.
💭 Day Close Reflections
On sort of a low-energy streak, not being able to think positively and stay hopeful. Getting impatient about results, especially since finding a new client is taking longer than it used to previously.
The day ended on a positive note, after a sudden shift in energy, possibly after watching the Rewiring module + being in first saff for Maghrib prayer.
🎯 90-Day Goal
I will be earning $5k/month by July 2026, by upskilling and offering end-to-end services, as well as building a structured outreach and outsourcing strategy, so I can go to Umrah with my family in September.
