#135 Subconscious Mind the Nafs Keeps You Stuck

 in is.,bebeing In this episode, I discuss the core reason why people often feel stuck in their lives.

I share a solution through the Quranic Science of the Nafs which is a psychology-based approach to getting unstuck, disconnecting from your past fears and anxiety about the future, and creating an amazing present.

What You’ll Learn in this Podcast:

1. Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind
2. Practical Steps to Get Unstuck 
3. Conscious Awareness and Leadership of Your Life

People work hard and try everything, yet they find themselves stuck in a loop of unfulfilled efforts. 

Not only this, but they experience a constant feeling of unease, and they avoid tasks which they planned to do, they avoid people and situations.

It feels like being on a treadmill of endless running without real progress. 

This state of forever being on this endless treadmill, constantly in motion leads to real burnout.

Burnout is a physical response to being in this constant mental state.

When you’re constantly busy, it might feel like you’re being productive, but in reality, you’re avoiding underlying emotions and thoughts. 

This avoidance leads to burnout and a feeling of being forever stuck.

The key to breaking this cycle is conscious awareness. This means becoming aware of what’s happening in your mind. This means not being reactive or triggered by it. 

Conscious thinking allows you to understand and see the root cause of your feelings and behaviours. 

This awareness is required for you to be in a position to make good decisions for your life. 

If you’re a conscious thinker, you get to slow down and see what’s really happening in your mind and in your life, and as a result, you get to create change that lasts. 

In the Quranic Science of the Nafs, you learn that the heart is the centre of it all. This is the programming that needs to be changed. 

When you change what’s in your mind and heart, then you can change how you feel and behave. This involves becoming super conscious of your thoughts, feelings, and the underlying programming that drives your actions.

The Prophet (saw) said, “All of you are leaders.” That’s us, our children, our families, everyone.

But to lead, you need awareness. This leadership starts with leading your own mind and life. 

Having this awareness, you’re able to take control of your life, make better decisions, and stop running from your emotions and fears.

The first revelation to the Prophet (saw) was, “Iqra”; Read. 

This shows the importance of knowledge.

Understanding what’s in your mind and heart is the key to changing your life. This knowledge allows you to lead your life with a different set of thoughts, decisions, and impulses that you control.

The Quranic Science of the Nafs is a framework for psychological and behavioural change, with it’s foundational roots in the guidance of Allah. By applying this science to your life, you will get off the treadmill, gain control, and you will stop running from your emotions.

The best part is, you will lead your mind and yourself and create an amazing life. This is the simplest way to achieve real, sustainable change, and I urge you to master this. 

Mastering your mind is the key to mastering your life.
