Ruhainies' Selawat: My 33-Day Journey & What I Learned

Hey everyone! So, I finally finished my 33-day Ruhainies' Selawat challenge. Man, was it intense! I gotta tell you, it wasn't all smooth sailing – I had my ups and downs, and lemme tell ya, I learned a whole lot along the way. This ain't just some fluffy blog post; it's the real deal, straight from the trenches of my spiritual journey. Think of it as your cheat sheet for tackling this powerful practice.

Why I Started (and Almost Quit!)

Honestly? I started because a friend highly recommended it. She raved about the peace she found, the increased spiritual connection… you know, the whole shebang. I was stressed, burnt out from work, you name it. I figured, what the heck, right? Worst case scenario, I'd feel a little more…zen?

The first week was...rough. I’m talking, seriously struggled to even find the time to commit to a single day. I'm usually pretty good with routines, but life threw me a curveball after curveball. Plus, let’s be real, 33 days is a long time to dedicate to something like this. There were days I just wanted to give up. I felt like I was failing. So many distractions. My focus went blurry. I was easily frustrated!

But, I persevered (mostly because I hate not finishing what I start). And that’s the first lesson: consistency is key. Even if you only manage five minutes, do it. Don’t skip a day unless something totally crazy happens.

The Turning Point: Week Three

Around week three, something shifted. I started noticing subtle changes. My overall mood was lighter; I felt less anxious, and I had more patience, even when dealing with difficult people (bless their hearts!). It wasn't a dramatic, overnight transformation; it was gradual, almost like a gentle sunrise.

This is where I'll drop a little bomb: patience is vital in spiritual practices. Don't expect miracles immediately. Let it flow naturally and with trust.

Practical Tips for Your Own 33-Day Journey

• Find a quiet space: Seriously, this is non-negotiable. Distractions are the enemy! Find your sanctuary, whether it's a corner of your room or a quiet park.
• Set reminders: Use your phone, a sticky note, whatever works. Don't rely on your memory. Trust me on this one. I've had to relearn this lesson many times.
• Join a group (optional): Having someone to share your experience with makes it less daunting. Plus, it's motivating to see others' progress. This builds community and helps with accountability.
• Be kind to yourself: You're human. You will have days where you struggle or feel like you're not doing it “right.” It's okay. Just pick up where you left off.

The Amazing Benefits I Experienced

The benefits extended beyond the mental and emotional realm. My sleep improved drastically, which led to improved energy levels and concentration. I found I was more present in everyday moments, appreciating the small things. I even noticed an increase in my overall productivity levels. What I’m saying is it’s worth the effort and the practice.

I'm not saying it's a magic bullet; it's a practice, a daily commitment to connecting with something larger than yourself. And that in itself is a powerful thing.

So, if you're thinking about starting your own 33-day Ruhainies' Selawat journey, go for it. It's a worthwhile investment in your well-being and spiritual growth. It's about cultivating inner peace. Don't be afraid to stumble; just keep going. And remember, patience is a virtue. You got this!
