Comments on: Overcome Soft Addictions: Habits That Keep Us From Our Goals https://productivemuslim.com/overcome-soft-addictions/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=overcome-soft-addictions Meaningful Productivity That Connects This Life With The Hereafter Thu, 29 Feb 2024 10:54:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Saadia J https://productivemuslim.com/overcome-soft-addictions/#comment-284487 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 12:16:04 +0000 https://productivemuslim.com/?p=9857#comment-284487 In reply to R Musawir.

A very common problem for us all I think. My advice would be to really focus on identifying your ‘cue and reward’ mentioned in the article. Experiment with different types of alternatives to that habit, until you find something that you can replace the bad habit with, but which still gives you the same/similar sense of satisfaction.

Finding a suitable substitute for your bad habit is the real goal in this plan. Because if you can find healthier alternatives that give you the same reward, you are more likely to remain steadfast as you will not feel a sense of loss, and therefore not feel the urge to return to that bad action.

It is extremely hard to stop a bad habit just by trying to simply ignore your desires and cravings, instead we must deal with them with more positive and beneficial alternatives.

I hope this plan will help you In shaa Allah! May Allah give us all strength

And we can take the neyya of jihad al Nafs :)

This reminds me of Ibn Taimeya quot ” if you don’t occupy your nafs with the truth, it will occupy you with falsehood”

Pity I am reading this Great post late Sister Saadia. The TV is especially one of the big culprits. It is a conversation stopper and alienate members of the family from each other. Secondly, the printed book has been relegated or even expunged from our lives in favour of the electronic media, which I am not saying is useless in its entirety.

Walaikumasalaam! I appreciate you sharing your tips and references, JazakAllah.

You are right this is an Islamic site, however the core purpose of my article is to give a psychological perspective of Islam, and solutions/tips on how to boost our productivity and imaan through the use of psychology. I appreciate your views however, I am not a scholar and so can only share with my readers the knowledge I have. Allah has blessed us with knowledge in many areas of life, including science and psychology; As educated Muslims, we should use this knowledge to its full potential and as a means to come closer to Allah.

My tips and advise are not a substitute for praying or making dua. These of course are priority and things we should all already be aware of and practicing In shaa Allah. Yes we should make dua (thank you for sharing some with us), but we should also be active in converting our intentions to actions.
