Instead of “I am pretty” try “Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me with so much beauty.” It places spirituality (gratitude, humility, etc.) into the affirmation… Allah loves beauty. ❤
I was off UA-cam for a while and I randomly saw Bahjas channel and since that day I promised myself I would change and do it the right way. Her content has been a huge inspiration and seeing her overcome the challenges I’m facing has motivated me.
I don't know how to express the emotions I'm feeling right now, but this comment brings both joy and a deep sense of gratitude. I hope I can be the support for others that I wished I had when facing uncertainty and challenges. Seeing this comment today... I could cry! I love you all so much and I'm rooting for you 🤍
Your complexion is gorgeous!! Black and brown skin tones have always been beautiful and anyone who says otherwise is simply intimidated by anyone else being considered attractive (and racist).
You guys make sure to watch her video! I cant not explain in words how much detail and how much motivation her videos and channel give me :> This are just notes for after, since I couldn’t find any physical notes this time NUMBER ONE SET YOUR STANDARDS Move your body everyday - 10 000 steps - training Eat with a diet that will last you for years - get some blood work done - gut health - probiotic food, fermented food, cinnamon, tea - good nutrient dense foods (green food) - set intentions for food in the week and the month - the ultra mind solution book - having your vegetables before any meal and having protein - gloves Vitamins - go to the doctor and make sure to check -(lions mane?) - supplements Hygiene - have a hygiene routine - nails, your ears, your legs, your - Oral hygiene, brush and floss everyday, tongue scraping - wet wipes, bidet - change your pad and tampons - CLEAN YOUR HOME, you smell like your home - a hygiene bag - have higher standard AND expectations for yourself - exfoliating sponge - bar soap, then body wash, hit em with and oil, lush body butter, body mist, perfume - pajama set Its not about looking pretty its a about feeling like yourself and feminine Your environment - make sure your home feels like home Lifestyle - routines are everything, routines are life Your swag - have what makes you, you have your own personal style and stay true to yourself and what makes sense to you
This is so important to me right now because I feel like not feeling ugly anymore is a huge step to acknowledging my worth and build stronger self esteem ! I'm so glad I found your channel! Literally! May Allah bless you!!
literally a big sis. i feel so connected to you as a somali girl myself! i watched the full video but i’m going to go to a cafe now (mon 1st jan) and plan my year and who i want to be. i’m excited and i am so thankful for you ! :)
Love this video, could you share with us your gut health journey. I related when you mentioned the skin transformation by just fixing your gut health. Would love to know more about it in a separate video ❤️❤️🥰
Notes I took to stay focused during this gem of a video: Being Pretty is a Choice ! Embody the idea that you are beautiful Fully believe it to your core This will build proof that you are pretty :-) Chose differently, forgiving yourself for your past bad choices Set Standards What can I accept about myself? What can I change about myself? What does the best version of you look like? Make a detailed list about what you want to change Be real and raw with yourself here ! Body and Health: Go to the doctor and get testing done Move your body every. single. day. (10k steps a day!) Resistance training or pilates a couple times a week SLEEP! This is such an important foundation. Diet and Gut Health: Priorities the right foods: yogurts, fermented foods, cinnamon, tea + matcha Less processed foods and more complete, whole foods Balance is okay, but keep treats to evenings out and enjoyment with others. Educate yourself on how foods affect your body ! Is your plan sustainable? Eat your fruits and veggies before anything else Supplements: Probiotics, Omega 3 fish oil, vitamin D3 & K2, B12, B6, Magnesium, Lion’s Mane Cycle Syncing: Work WITH your body instead of AGAINST it bestie ! Understand the different phases, use it to plan your meals and workouts Take it easy when you’re on your period Hygiene: Shower properly every single day Clean under your nails, between your toes, behind your ears, etc. Floss and scrape your tongue!

Thank you! Speaking of the every month focus on something different, I wanted to share how I've started structuring my years in case that helps others and if anyone has anything they do, I'd love to hear! I break down the year into quarters and then have individual monthly focuses within each quarter. I have a notion database to track and review and set goals based on this. Very much a work in-progress I fine-tune a bit more each year.

im not gonna lie, i watch many videos like this one. with people offering advice and all that. what i love about your video though, is how you go into detail about the solutions we can take to make a difference. thank you a lot girl !
Good morning Bahja, I have been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. You are very empowering and inspiring. I was assaulted last Monday in broad daylight. I got out, free. He didn’t hurt me that much but left a bunch of bruises on my arms. My life is changed forever now. With that being said, as I continue to watch your videos, I am going to start a channel to empower other women. Your videos have helped me tremendously, especially, during this time. I love you. Hayley
أبهجتيني يا بهجة ❤️ شكرا لحديثك المحفّز، كان عنوان مثير للإهتمام و كان يستحق الإستماع، شكرا لمشاركتنا حديثك الشيّق، استمتعت كثيراً به، لقد أصبت بمرض مؤخراً و أشعر بأن أولوياتي مكتوبة بدون فعل لا سيما الصحة، هذه السنة أنوي بأن ألتزم بالذهاب للنادي أكثر بإذن الله .
Love this video, at the end of the day, everything you do is a choice. You choose if you want to work out, you choose if you want to eat intentionally, you choose to take care of yourself. Great reminder!!
Girl you nailed it ! I’m so pround of you ! It’s the perfect realist guide to how to be THAT woman ! It ´s gonna help me so much tjank u to motivates women to always be the kinf of girl WHO TAKE THE TIME to take care of all of them self. That’s what makes the difference
Discovered your channels a few days ago and I find your videos so helpful to motivate myself to be better. After watching this I feel inspired to do more about myself and change my mentality! Thank you so much
This was such a great and informative video. Also my first time watching one of her videos . Thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to implement some changes to my routine ❤, thank you for this. I’ll have to watch again!
Thank you so much Bahja for all your videos ❤ I learnt alot and i never leave without gaining anything i am thankful to Allah SWT for making me find your podcast now your channel. Just continue to be YOU Because you're the real DEAL!!
Girlyy Thank u SO much for what you do for us, I love all of your videos 💞 Could u make a video about how to put together outfits, choosing items etc? I love your style and I like how you still stay modest and follow the islamic guidelines regarding how to dress 💗
Bahja wlhi waxa maleysa ilahay in uu aniga ii ka so diray i was feeling down today and then i saw your video its all i needed to hear Allahuma bariik abayo❤ jazakaAllahu kheir
I rlly wanna see a vision board tut if u can btw luv ur vids u motivated me to get closer to Allah ever since I started watching u couldn’t stop love ur work ❤
@@BahjaAbdi i love you moreee, im finishing up watching this vid from earlier and your gonna make me cry ahhhh , you r such an insipiration bahja and you speak on the topics most 'influencers' don't touch on.
I also found out I had hpylori in 2023, I am still battling with it in 2024 it’s been 6 months. I also ended up catching c.diff another bacteria while battling hpylori, inshallah I get my antibiotics for h pylori soon. I am ready to elevate.
Ngl, talking about changing the fact that you’re Black like it’s something to change is really sad. As if it’s associated with “being ugly”. In case anyone reading this thinks that way, please know that you are beautiful. If you’re Muslim, remember that Allah (SWT) created you and every shade of His human creation exactly the way it should be. You are created by THE CREATOR. I know it can be hard, but remember that. You and your skin tone are perfect and beautiful just the way they are ❤
It was simply an example. To emphasize the point of there's things you can change, and there's things you can't change and that all you can do is accept it.
@@BahjaAbdi I can see where you’re coming from, but you still framed it as a negative quality. Skin tone not something ‘to accept’; it’s only something we have to accept when we see it is as negative quality. I’m sorry you see it that way and hope that as you get older, you’ll break that down and learn to love it (or at least see it as neutral) the way we all should. 💗
Hey Girl! this is not coming from a judgemental space at all! but a lot of kombucha has alcohol in very small doses, not sure if you were aware so just wanted to put it out there- there is a company I can recommend which doesn't and its delicious if you want :)
Bahja omg, I went to bed last night manifesting guidance on this exact topic and look what I came across today. This was just what I needed so thank you
In my home country, there’s two things that make a girl extremely beautiful: having a gap between her two front teeth and having dark colored gums. After hearing that you got your teeth gap closed Bahja, I now know for sure that beauty is sooo subjective.
Instead of “I am pretty” try “Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me with so much beauty.” It places spirituality (gratitude, humility, etc.) into the affirmation… Allah loves beauty. ❤
