My mum told me today that my belly seems to be like a big drum now.

I guess that should be reduced.

Reduce watching Cartoons. (right now im not going to watch any of MY cartoons until after Ramadan inshallah, even though i might still watch the odd kid cartoon my lil sis watches..)

I FORGOT TO ADD "INCREASE" SO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO INCREASE DOING.

I'm also going to try and pray 12 sunnahs on as many days as possible

Your mum had to tell you that?.... you did not notice?

There is one thing I need to give up which I'd rather not mention :oops:

I've given up playing games so I'm selling my console soon. I've also deleted all my games from my phone. I used to spend so much time on games before.

I am not the most clued person in the world when it comes to observing it.

common guys! post up those ramdan resolutions so that at the end of the month we can see if we've done it (and freely pat ourselves on the back)

ok, im finding it H.A.R.D to stay away from Anime... many time i've had the opportunity to watch some but i didnt, hamdoulillah.

It would probably be a good idea to try and improve my quality of patience.

No idea how though.

Maybe by trying to appreciate the many good things that Allah (swt) has given me.

Keep to it.

I still don't know what I want to get out of Ramadan.

And I want to make real goals instead of airy fairy plans in my head that won't actually happen.

@You: not guetting impatient and complaining of Hunger should improve your patience. and not loosing your temper and thinking "oh im fasting i have an excuse". That should test (and improve) patience big time. inshallah

@Sully: well, i think you need to think about what you do in your everyday life that isnt completely related to Allah/Islam and if you're strong enough to give it up/reduce it. Then you have your ramadan resolutions.

*Slaps my forehead with my hand* of course! you might not say it, but you're kind the patient guy! Well, im sorry, what i wrote was suppose to be for you but i didnt think about you in context. silly me.

"this trick"? I cant think of anything that can make you forget about one of your basic need. Is it ripping your stomach out for the day? or hypnotism? or...

daydreaming. Generally being clueless.

Like today I almost forgot that I finished work at half 5... I was just sitting there and something reminded me at 5.31.

is it me or are most of revivalers daydreamers?

daydreaming is a vicious circle:

life get's tough
you start daydreaming a better life
come back to real world and its just as bad or even worse
Go back to daydreaming
and so on.

Too much food = laziness

There would be a huge part of the day (18 hours) where that would not be an issue.

Relax a little. No need for the spanish inquisition.
