Feeling lost and confused because you’re about to or you’ve just:
moved to a new country and you don’t understand the culture or language?
gone back to studying after many years and you’re starting at the bottom again?
started a new job and can’t adjust to the new environment?
got married and having difficulty coping with the new expectations and responsibility?
been left on your own after the children have left home or a bereavement?
said your Shahadah or started to practice Islam, but feel very isolated and alone?
Maybe you’re feeling:
Disheartened and unwanted
Loss of self esteem and confidence
Unmotivated and directionless
Unable to cope with the attitudes or way of life of the new people around you
You’ve taken a step backwards rather than forwards in your Islam
Feel as though you’re having to start your life again
I’ve been through most of those emotions at times when, in the past, I moved to new countries, went to university as a mature student, became a new Muslim, started a new job, and got married and divorced. And these are some of the things that other sisters have also said to me too:
“I came to the UK 5 months ago. There had been many problems from the beginning. I feel lazy here, even though I was really active at home.”
“I’ve been staying with in-laws since my marriage – they are not practicing, have a different culture. It’s too difficult.”
“I used to be more practising, but that all changed after my marriage; it’s my own fault.”
“I used to deal with things calmly before the kids, now I’ve become a terrible monster.”
“I’m trying to adapt my state of emotions being a mother and working.”
“I want to figure out what I want to do after my youngest starts going to school.”
“I just can’t cope with the attitudes of my non-Muslim family members to my conversion.”
“I got so much into the external aspects of religion, like dressing conservatively for example, and this change took place too fast that I have failed to change at an internal level.”
We all eventually adjust to change, some of us better than others, but...
Get motivated to enjoy life again
Adjust to life in a new place and rebuild a social circle of friends
Build up your confidence and self esteem
Work out how to get the information and support you need to adjust
Have someone to talk through your challenges with, while you build up new friendships and learn about your new environment
Live your new life to the full in true SuperMuslimah style
“I can now feel the tranquillity again, because I realise what values I hold most dearly and that I haven't lost them, and my goals are essentially just the same but just need to be achieved in a different way.” Dita, UK

Once a thought gets planted in your head it gets more difficult to let go, so the best way to deal with it is to take control before your mind starts dancing with it...these are some ways that worked for the sisters I’ve coached...
We women tend to mull over things and hold onto them, whereas men are more pragmatic thinkers; if they can’t do something about a matter, they tend to move on from it and leave it behind. So why do we keep on doing this and how can we stop?...
Being dismissively brushed-off when you've thanked someone can sometimes feel quite insulting. Find out how you can avoid falling into that trap...
