overcome my aversion to phones
I hate phones. 6 days ago

and i thought i was the only one!

I hate calling people. Absolutely hate it. I need to see people’s faces in order to understand what they are thinking and feeling at that particular moment so phones are rubbish for socially inept folk like myself. If I plan to phone someone I have to actually write a scripted first line down, followed by bullet points of stuff I want to talk about, then practise the first line before I pick up the phone.

This organisation I’m volunteering for has me on the phone for most of my time there. Calling people I don’t even know- that is supremely the worst kind of calling. But its for a good cause, and may Allah swt make it easy for me to get over this irrational fear!

dhikr regularly and consistently
out and about 1 week ago

i used to do a lot of dhikr under my breath when I was just walking around town or on the tube. I want to get back into the habit, especially at work where I’m not talking to anyone on the shop floor a lot of the time and rather unhappy thoughts come to nestle in my head. I’d like them dispelled by rememberence of Allah swt.
