I clearly remember a few months ago, maybe before my birthday. I felt like my life was incredibly difficult, like it was falling apart, and I was even at the second lowest point in my life. Everything I'd planned at the beginning of the year wasn't going according to plan. It felt like all my friendships were falling apart.
Was I stressed? Of course I was dealing with my life at that time. In fact, I failed my scholarship this year. During that time, even religious services felt difficult. I remember those times clearly. So what did I do? I reset and released all my pent-up emotions. At that time, all healing tricks, journaling, and other methods felt useless.

Looking back, I'm grateful to have gotten through that phase. Today, it's a little better. I can breathe a little easier. So what did I do? I did research. I made changes in my life. I broke all habits. I started doing the things I wanted to do. From reading in cafes to studying, and so on.
After that, I discovered a new therapy method. At night, I listened to the Sedona Method and in the morning, I did somatic exercises. In less than two weeks, my body felt satisfied. After that, I resumed my regular prayers. I also performed the istikharah prayer, asking for guidance on what I should do. At that time, I felt completely stuck.

Not long after, I got a new job. It only lasted two months, but it was enough to cover my sister and my expenses. I accepted the other bad news with an open heart. What was the bad news? I failed to get the scholarship. But I felt a sense of relief. I felt like I was willing to accept it all.
Now, if I think back, I still have the responsibility of taking care of my sister. Not long after my lowest point, my sister experienced a similar experience. I felt an unexpected surge of emotions. Now, we're working on repairing everything. I feel a sense of harmony in my life. I feel relieved to have passed that phase.
That was a time when I felt incredibly stressed. Today, I'm simply enjoying my life. I wake up early, study the Quran, and go for walks. That's all I can share. What do you think?
