Salaam Minara Family,

Pretty sure we’re all a little bit privy to the wonderful phenomena of goal burnout…

[and if there’s anyone who has no idea what we’re talking about and just loves goal setting, gets those goals achieved and never wavers - well, we have nothing to say except GASP! 😝 and please share some of the energy - alhamdulillah!]

We can describe goal burnout as a misalignment between values, intentions and actions. It isn’t that you don’t really want those things, it’s just that your reality isn’t being catered for.

With only 14 days away from Ramadan, it seems sensible to take a little look at our goals again.

You might even think us a little mad actually - who isn’t excited about in sha Allah meeting this newer or better version of themselves come Ramadan right?

But it’s also most definitely normal to not ‘feel’ your goals anymore or start drowning under the pressure of the expectations you have set yourself.

If you’ve eaten one biscuit - well you might as well eat them all now. Are we right or ARE WE RIGHT friends?!
