With well over a decade of being a full-time life-coach, working with people from all kinds of different backgrounds, along with developing specialized niche programs to help Muslims transform their spiritual life and relationships… I’ve discovered that there are six key areas of life that everyone will greatly benefit from improving.
I summarize them as: Mind, Body, Soul, Time, Money, and Love.
- Mind
When it comes to mindset, the most powerful thing you can possibly do for yourself is to go through The Psychological Switch. This is the basis of all of the personal development programs I’ve developed over the last decade. - Body
When it comes to transforming your body, as you may have noticed in the last few posts, one of the most powerful strategies is fasting – something every Muslim has a lot of experience with – and with a few small tweaks, it can become an incredibly transformative way to shed all excess body fat. Along with a simple, do-able muscle-building plan that works for men and women of all ages, you can not transform the way you look and feel. - Soul
When it comes to spirituality for a believing Muslim, it’s all about connection with Allah and developing your connection with the Quran. That’s why I created the “Quran for Busy People”, the “Daily Quran Habit”, and the “Quran Transformation” programs. - Time
In terms of time and productivity, the key ideas I’ve seen work best for people are: being productive from Fajr (the pre-dawn prayer); using the getting things done system; and carving out large chunks of each day to focus on what Cal Newport calls Deep Work.
By combining these ideas together, it can have a dramatic impact on your productivity, time freedom and fulfilment. One of my clients recently told me that he’s getting his entire workday down from nine hours a day… to just TWO hours. And this guy works in a senior role in a large multinational corporation. - Money
Our connection with money is much more to do with psychology and spirituality than most people realize. Lots of Muslims and people of other religious traditions fall into the trap of thinking that money is bad or evil or un-spiritual despite the fact that every human being in the world uses it almost every day or benefits from someone else using it on their behalf.
The question is, “How can we have an abundance of money in our hands, but not in our hearts? How can we live in this world without being attached to it?” And that is the focus of the Master Your Money Program in The Ocean. - Love
And finally, love. Most people on earth are in one of two situations, either they’re in a long-term relationship or marriage, or they are looking to be in one. Over the years, I’ve developed programs to help us achieve both goals: “Meet and Marry The One” for single people; “Marriage Made Easy” for married people, and “Enlightened Relationships” for everyone.
