Share holidays together

-


The arrival of holidays are welcomed very dearly by everyone. Everyone looks forward to the rest ad relaxation that comes with the holidays, but when kids are present that may not be the case. For many parents the holidays are spent entertaining the kids and making sure that they have a good time, this happening at the cost of sacrificing one’s personal holiday.
Going out and having fun is essential for all of us but the key is that it has to bring us all together. Spending time with your kids is the most important part of the holidays, holidays were made to allow rest from one’s busy lifestyle and allow for rest with family to occur. However, the spirit of spending holidays as a family has turned into making sure that the kids are fully entertained and satisfied with their holidays. Making this happen means that families spend a lot of money during holiday periods going outside to fine dining and ares of fun entertainment. Because of this many families do not spend quality time together as no one is focused on the other. Eventually everyone returns to their busy life without making the most of the free time that could have been spent together.

Everyone wants a relaxing holiday but changes have to be done to make sure we make the best of our holidays.

Some things that can be done is:

  • Pre-prepare your holidays

Pre planning holidays is essential to making the most out of your holidays. Think about what you want to see happen in the holidays and how you want to spend it with your kids. This way you will not repeat the same activities and can try a variety of new things and even times you want to stay at home in an orderly manner.

  • Make the most out of quality time
  
Weeks of school and work have come to an end and the holidays is the best time to catch up with each other. This period allows you to fully communicate with your kids and make full contact with each other. Fun things you can do is ask them what part of School they best like to remember, what was the funniest moments they like and what parts did they find challenging. In turn they can ask you the same about your work so you can have a healthy communication between each other. 

  • Share the holidays together

Making sure your kids enjoy the holidays is important but it is equally important that you get a part of the holiday too. As parents we believe that as long as our kids have a good time then that is good enough for us but deep down kids love that everyone is happy. They love to see a complete family unit that is happy and would love that you enjoy the holidays too. 


Holidays are happy periods that are always anticipated and when shared together make it worth while.

Words are sharper than a knife

-
Words are apart of our lives and we use them every second of our lives. Words can be a sense of pride, for instance, we laugh and cheer when a baby says their first word or speaks in a complete sentence for the first time. words are beautiful, but they can also have a dark side. Words can hurt, they can scar and change a person's life forever. That is why it is important for our tongues to have a leash as it can cause so much damage. As individuals we live on emotion, we require love, care and respect to fully function and the words we choose to say to someone can effect an individual. That is why backbiting, slandering and all forms of negative deeds that can be done through words are not allowed. The tongue puts an individual in the most trouble as you are most likely to offend someone with your words than your fists or weapons. Most of the time we believe we are making a harmless comment about a friend, family member or an individual but it is harmful as it is easier to repair...

starting a new year

-
2017 has begun and it was welcomed the same way 2016 was welcomed and 2015 and all the years before that. Laughter, fireworks and big parties are thrown to mark the end of the previous year and welcome the new one but after that live goes back to normal again. Reaching a new year is a blessing because it gives us the chance to contemplate on the previous year and make a change to the new year that has started. Many people do not have this chance because they did not reach the new year and since we did not know we will reach the next year we should use this opportunity wisely. Every day we get to see the sun rise to a new day and breathe the air of that day is a chance to make a difference in our lives. It is a chance to be thankful for the blessings we have never been thankful for before that we have been given before they are lost. The prophet (s.a.w) told us to remember Allah during are times of prosperity so he may remember us during our periods of adversity. It is a chance...

Be Thankful

Sometimes as people we are the ones who burden ourselves in ways that are not necessary and one of the biggest ways we do is by aiming to be what we are not. We love to be what we are not, trying to be a person that is not us by wearing the mask of another. We do not develop our sense of self but try to live the life of another and this leads us to insecurities and self-doubt. The reason for this is that we want to live the life of another by burying the real us deep inside and each time the real us stares at us, we continue to lock it up by looking for more things and others techniques on how they live.   This leads us to something called overconsumption and begin to hurt ourselves as we always want what we do not have but are never thankful for what we already have. We may be healthy, fit, have the necessities in our lives but we continue to see our lives empty because we are focused on what’s missing, not what’s already there. This leads to overconsumption as w...
