Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

I love all of you and we are not going to give up, and we are not going to abandon each other. We're going to take each other's hands and squeeze as hard as we can and never let go. We hold each other. We carry each other.

We worship deathless gods, who held their worshippers through the falls of countless empires, though colonization, through the destruction of their festivals and temples, through the raging cruelties of oppression and war. We are not alone. We will survive. Take my hand. This is not the end.

this week has been a lot.

i don't know how to feel. i feel so many emotions. like fear. i feel like an idiot, i feel insecure. i want my old life back. i miss when life was simple.

maybe i should be more grateful for the things i have rather than mourning the things i don't. but i feel so many emotions. i would love to say i knew how to fix all my problems but right now it is in the hands of the gods.

i am grateful for my friends. i am so grateful for my mother & brother. i know they'll support me through this but i feel bad for leaning on them.

let's hope for a good week!

“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.

reminder to self: one day it won’t bother you every night. one day it won’t even pass through your mind, not once.

Focus on the result, not the process.

I've spent the last couple days researching LOA and while lurking on r/NevilleGoddard, something clicked for me.

You want the end result, not the process.

Example:

You don't want a job offer, you want a job

You don't a pizza delivery, you want a pizza

You don't want a text, you want attention

You don't want 'symptoms', you want the shift

When attempting to shift, you're paying way to much attention to feeling 'symptoms'. You are acting like the shift is happening in the 3D instead of the 4D.

Remember you are shifting your consciousness not your body. Stop focusing on the act of shifting and start focusing on your life in your DR.

Feel the thoughts and emotions of your DRself. What are your goals for the day, how do you feel about your S/O/BFF, what are you excited about, etc.

Once you shift the 4D, the 3D must reflect it.

"Assume the feeling of your wish is fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows." -Neville Goddard, The Power of Awareness

take care of your basic needs: sleep well, drink enough water, exercise regularly, eat healthily

For whoever needs to hear this-

Going to appointments is work

Taking your meds is work

Going to therapy, taking care of yourself and your home, eating, doing research. Its all work.

You aren't lazy or doing nothing. You are doing work and making strides for your benefit. Don't beat yourself up if that's devouring your time.

how to use “toxic productivity habits” the right way

there are so many ways to be productive that often end up labelled “toxic” because they result in burnout or demotivation, but from personal experience (i.e., lots of cycles of toxic productivity -> demotivation -> burnout -> repeat) i believe it's because you need to use these strategies the RIGHT way. you wouldn't try to use a spoon the way you use a fork and vice versa! 🍽️ so here's how i keep my plate FULL while maintaining my sanity 😌

🏃‍♀️ multitask the right way 🏃‍♀️

certain activities lend themselves to stacking together while others do not

as a general rule: mindless activity x mentally engaging activity

🌸 some examples from my life:

doing readings x stretches or getting steps in

watching lectures x eating meals

laundry or other chores x language lessons

🗓️ overbook yourself the right way 🗓️

this strategy is best used in conjunction with that of booking in buffer time and prioritizing must-haves vs. nice-to-haves

sometimes you underestimate how long something will take simply because you're dreading it or doubting your own abilities, so this is a great way to get around that if you're that kind of person!

i like to make a dream list of everything i want to get done in a day so that i can keep track of it all and i'm never left wasting my free time because i didn't plan something

also, because it's a dream list, i know i can cut things if i can't make it all happen and there's no pressure or regret

🍨say yes to everything the right way🍨

use this for external accountability, but ONLY for things you actually want to do anyway

do it scared, do it alone, do it imperfectly, as long as you do it, you will see growth, i promise!

🌸 some examples from my life:

i wanted to get my driver's license, so i booked and paid for my lessons and the exam ahead regardless of whether i felt scared or tired (but not too tired, practice safe driving, guys!!), and i got my license with just 2 months of practice

i wanted to start my own engineering project at work, so i told my entire team that i would take charge of it before i had any clue about a solution for the problem we were facing or who would even want to work with me, and i figured that shit out because i had to

💌 bonus tip: once you get really comfortable with using these strategies, you can start bringing it all together! say yes -> overbook -> multitask — you'll find you can accomplish far more than you think! 💓

GLOW UP GUIDE FOR 2025⠀

READ: On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And considering that 2025 is precisely these many days away, why not start with our glow up plan already?

Physical Glow Up-

BODY

— 5-10K steps a day.

— 7-8 hours of sleep.

— workout everyday for 1 hr atleast- yoga/stretching/pilates/cardio. a workout may take one hour, but your mood will be boosted for the next 12 hours.

— posture training.

— sunlight exposure after waking up for at least 10 minutes.

NUTRITION

— 2-3 liters of water every day.

— limit your caffeine intake.

— avoid sugars as much as you can.

— high protein diet, pre and probiotics.

— more fruits and veggies (+ green smoothies if you like).

— no junk/processed food/trans fat.

— no eating after 8 pm.

SKINCARE

— be clear on your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).

— once you're clear, use these accordingly- cleanser, toner, targeted serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (≥50 spf).

— keep your bedding clean as well.

— no picking of skin on your lips, cuticle etc.

— gua sha to help improve blood circulation and lessen toxins.

— cold therapy may take three to five minutes of being uncomfortable, but your energy levels will be boosted for the rest of the day.

— remove makeup before you go to bed.

BODY CARE

— shower every day.

— exfoliate 2x a week.

— use body lotion (shea butter/aloe vera gel/coconut oil).

HAIR CARE

— wash hair 2-3x a week

— oil your scalp 2x a week, at least 3 hours before shampoo.

— hair mask 1x per week.

— never brush wet hair.

— use silk pillow case.

HYGIENE

— brush your teeth 2x a day, clean tongue and the roof of the mouth daily.

— floss daily.

— cut your nails 1x a week, never remove the cuticles.

— glycolic acid under arm for odor and discoloration.

— never use soap on your coochie.

Mental Glow Up-

MINDSET

— set clear goals- define and breakdown your aspirations.

— start your mornings with positive affirmations.

— surround yourself with uplifting content and people.

— be shamelessly selfish to your career and mental health, remove anyone or anything that doesn't align with your priorities and wellbeing.

— boost your brain health by these 4 neuroscience tools:

difficult first: start your day with the most difficult task (cortisol and dopamine are high in the body meaning that your body/mind is primed to work).

rest your eyes: introduce a micro-pause after learning by resting/closing your eyes - will help retain information better.

tomorrow's worries: write tomorrow's to-do list before bed as it is proven to be effective in helping you fall asleep.

find time to play: engage in low-stake play. can be anything you find fun but where the outcome doesn't matter (induces neuroplasticity + reduces stress).

MIND

— meditation might take as low as ten minutes, but your focus will be improved for the rest of the day.

— no social media after waking up and at least an hour before bed.

— keep aside 1 hr of time to read daily! reading a new book may take five hours, but you will keep the knowledge forever.

— journaling, gratitude.

— digital detox once a week or for 12 hours.

— limit unnecessary screentime, unfollow or cut off people you don't want to see.

JOURNALING

— choose a regular time each day to journal, making it a part of your routine.

— find a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. light a candle if you want.

— allow your thoughts to flow without censoring or editing.

— write about your feelings and emotions to understand them better. write about things you are thankful for to boost your mood. write about your short-term and long-term goals. identify what triggers certain emotions or reactions

— set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write continuously during that time.

— reflect on both positive experiences and challenges.

— make lists, journal your thoughts on these questions.

— journal at night to clear your mind before bedtime, because emotions and thoughts lose their power once we acknowledge them.

— a gratitude practice may take five minutes, but your mindset will be shifted for the rest of the day.

AFFIRMATIONS

— customise affirmations to your needs.

Personal Life-

WEEKLY TASKS

— initiate small changes: begin with small, manageable tasks such as making your bed or cleaning your room every sunday.

— celebrate your success: reward yourself when you achieve your goals or have a consistently productive week. consider treats like buying flowers for yourself or watching your favorite show.

DAILY WORK

— set achievable goals: establish realistic goals for the day, week, or month ahead.

— track your progress.

— organise your work space, declutter your shelves etc.

— embrace the power of lists: keep a list of tasks to be done and their deadlines. this way, you start each day with a clear plan. to make it visually appealing and motivating, consider using productivity apps like evernote, habit tracker, or notion.

PRODUCTIVITY TIPS

— wake up early.

— plan ahead everything, do scheduling. you can use:

google calendar / notion / tasks .

— if the task takes less than 2 minutes to finish, do it immediately.

— countdown rule, if you are procrastinating, count 1-2-3-4-5 and jump.

— start slow, don't rush and try to do everything at one time.

— follow a proper routine, use app locks based on screentime.

— pomodoro technique, 25 min work, and 5 min break.

— schedule longer break times as well e.g 30 min nap.

PSA to pagans and practitioners.

You don't have to speak your prayers or incantations out loud for a ritual or offering to be effective.

For the longest time, I tried praying out loud and speaking out loud during ritual offerings, and I was always uncomfortable. I tried everything, from using the ancient hymns, to writing my own prayers, even combining the two. Nothing worked for me, but I kept doing it because I thought that's just how things are done.

A ritual, prayer or offering is not less effective or special if you don't speak aloud. Not speaking is not an easy way out, it's not disrespectful to the gods, and it's not making the working less powerful. The thing that negatively impacts your practice is being uncomfortable.

If you work better silent, embrace it. It took me far too long to realise that working quietly is best for me. I'll put on some instrumental music in the background while doing my ritual offerings which helps me focus, and other than that, I enjoy listening to the sounds my materials make; the bay leaf crackling, the libation being poured, the sounds of setting things down on the altar. If I have to speak through that I feel distracted and nervous about forgetting what I'm supposed to say. I would much rather focus on my actions, my materials, my offerings, my energy, and my gods.

If you speak aloud and it works for you, fantastic! However, don't feel pressured to if you don't like it. We see so many people put on a show during rituals for social media. Don't think all rituals have to be like that.

we were meant to live slowly!!!! we were meant to savor moments and feel unabashedly lazy and frolic and smell the flowers and laugh with our entire hearts and love with our entire souls!!!!! don’t ever feel guilty for resting!!!!!! don’t ever feel guilty for slowing down!!!!!! enjoying life shouldn’t be something you’re ashamed of
