Ramadan is the time of the year when we go through a shift in our routine and day-to-day life. The trifle changes in the routine redesigns our entire day and how we spend our time. Ramadan comes with the scope of utilising our time better, nourishing our soul and body, and reordering our lives down the line. Here are few hacks to get the most out of this month
Plan in Advance
If you are looking forward to a Ramadan that will be productive, then you need to start planning from ahead. Chalk down the objectives you want to attain and plan accordingly. For example, if you are planning to get on a healthy diet during Ramadan, then plan and prepare accordingly way ahead. Set clear cut objective that is beneficial to you. Even if you slip away, quickly get back to your target with the end goal of attaining it.
Fasting is not Feasting
One of the major reasons why we do not hang on to the series of goals we set regarding our diet, is having a feast during Iftar. We wolf down so much food that by the end of the day, we don’t have a single cell of productivity in our bodies. It is high time to get rid of the deep-fried foods no matter how good they taste. Try to come out of the traditional set menu, and enjoy a healthier meal with increased number of fruits, lighter foods and healthier drinks.
Make use of the early hour
The time after having your meal for sehri is a high time to get involved in productive work. If you have spare time, you can read few pages from any book you like, go out and have a walk when the sun is out, or do something that you usually can’t make time for. Our brains are open to new ideas and creativity at that time of the hour, hence it’s best to utilise it properly.
Family Time
Ramadan allows us to have more time with our family. Not only sharing your iftar with your family, relatives and friends, but also having sehri with them is a viable option nowadays. Invest the spare time with your loved ones, have conversation with them, assist in preparing Iftar and have an overall quality time.
Contribute In Ramadan
There are tons of opportunities to get involved in various social and community development programs. Find out your preferable scope and contribute in a suitable manner. You can take charge of any social initiative or be part of ongoing projects. Ramadan comes with a window of opportunities to make the world around us a better place to live in, not only in the month of holiness itself, but also throughout the year.
