We for You | Daily Reflection | *by Maryam* ❤️

Salam Alaikum, dear sisters🌸
I hope you’re all feeling well today.
This reflection is about eating - but not food - it’s about how we start “*CONSUMING OURSELVES*”.

Sometimes we eat ourselves from the inside -with thoughts that hurt more than any words from others ever could.
We chew on old regrets, replay past conversations, and blame ourselves for things that were never truly in our control.
And sometimes, it’s others who “eat our head” -their opinions, expectations, or judgments crowding our minds until we can no longer hear the quiet voice of our own soul.

But our bodies, like boxes, hold it all. They store every emotion, every unspoken word, every swallowed tear.
And when that inner space becomes too full of fear, anger, or pain, it starts to show -in tired eyes, heavy hearts, and restless sleep and manifest through diseases.
Just like a box that becomes a treasure chest when we place jewelry inside, or a trash box when we throw in apple leftovers - our hearts hold whatever we choose to place within and withhold.

No label, no smile, no “I’m fine” can hide what truly lives inside us.
If we fill our hearts with bitterness, the world feels our heaviness.
But *when we cleanse that space - when we forgive, soften, and let love breathe again -we begin to shine from within.*✨

So, my dear sisters, let this be your gentle reminder:
🌸*You don’t have to carry everyone’s noise.*
🌸*You don’t have to swallow your pain in silence.*
🌸*You don’t need to be perfect to be enough.*
Empty the box.
Let the old energy go.
Fill your beautiful heart with peace, gratitude, kindness, and truth.
And if someone tries to take away your peace remember this:
*deal with your fears and value yourself as the treasure you are. And draw boundaries that protect your soul and body.*🌿

And in every test you go through, there is a lesson and wisdom. Through each test, Allah SWT is guiding you closer to Him.

Wishing everyone a peaceful mind and heart, and light enough to rise above anything that tries to weigh it down.❤️🤲🏻
