After doing the back workout, I had a lot of pain in my body, especially in my back. Today, I first woke up at 12:00 PM, then again at 1:37 PM, and then again at 3:00 PM. I kept waking up repeatedly because of the pain.

🔑 Reflection
Today was heavy both physically and mentally. The back pain from yesterday’s PR reminded me that Rukuh in Salah is a blessing from Allah, something we often take for granted until it hurts.
Office walking (20 min) and one proper meal (chicken cooked in yogurt and spices) helped a bit, but overall energy stayed low. Negative thoughts and waswasa hit hard, but sharing with Ammi gave relief.
Ammi herself was in pain (cervical, flu, body ache), which made me realize how much strength she carries daily. Despite all this, I realized:
Motivation fades, but discipline carries you. Even if I don’t reach the financial milestone quickly, at least I’ve left behind the life of atheism, nihilism, missed prayers, bad health, and emotional instability.
Alhamdulillah for everything. This is not just a challenge anymore; it’s transformation. InshaAllah, I’m going to make it.
