next habit in line..

hello guys

the last 10 days i committed to brushing my teeth twice a day.
i have achieved this easily.
i forced myself to do this even when i went to sleep after 1 am and was still eating or drinking at this time.
this ensured i achieved that i went to bed with my teeth clean from the sugar consumed in the day.

my next challenge is to perform the recommended method of ablution before the five dailly prayers rather than merely the obligatory one.
the reason for this is that by forcing myself to remember to do the recommended one, i become more conscious of what i am doing rather than merely going through the motions.

also the recommended manner ensures a smoother operation as often times in the past my hands have been nearly dry by the time it came to finishing off the ablution making it impossible to wipe the feet making them wet - meaning i had to do it again.
this probably wont make sense to any non-muslims and even non shi'ite muslims.. and come to think of it maybe even some shi'ites - but i know what it means and the challenge is for me.

once i have done this for 10 days i will be back with the next one. i will try to make the next one more universal for everybody.

just to keep this interesting :)

peace
