Have you ever tried to sit completely still? Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Just grab the remote and sit in front of the TV. Haven’t we all done that at one time or another? Nothing wrong with that. We all need a break now and then.Now flip to the end of the spectrum…ever had moments where you can’t sit still? Happens to me all the time. I can’t just sit and not do anything. It’s hard! Even if my physical body isn’t moving, my mind is going 90 miles an hour and I’m probably thinking about all the things I could be doing if I weren’t just sitting there.
The worst case scenario for me is to be stuck someplace where I have to just sit and be attentive – ugh! If I am not interested or I can’t participate, at least grant me permission to get lost in my own thoughts. That is an adventure in itself.Today’s chance words of wisdom come from Annie Oakley, who claims:
“For me, sitting still is harder than any kind of work.”
Oh, I can so relate! I would much rather have my nose to the grindstone and feel that I am moving forward with my goals, than to be stuck in an unproductive situation. While it may sound like I’m on the fast track to workaholics anonymous, let me explain a little trend that I’ve noticed.
A few months ago I started making mental notes about how my time was being spent and how productive I was. I was also trying to track my sleeping patterns to see if I needed more or less sleep to function. I won’t bore you with the details of my research, but jump right to the conclusion. On the days I felt I the productivity pendulum in full swing, I discovered I needed less sleep to recharge. The sluggish days where I slacked off seemed to wear me out and I found myself wanting more sleep. Sounds crazy, but it’s true!
Now I didn’t just make this little theory up. It’s actually embedded in psychological fact somewhere and I’m sure it has a fancy name to boot. The bottom line is that achieving your goals releases energy and pushes you to want to achieve more and more.

We often hear “the sky is the limit” yet we’ve launched people to the moon and back. No matter what limitations there seem to be in life, someone is always striving to push past them. One needs to look no further than the sports realm where records get broken every day. Records for speed, distance and strength. Where does it end?
A quote that tops my list of favorites comes from tennis star Martina Navratilova who once stated
“I think the key is for women not to set any limits.”

I noticed right away that she did not say “I think the key is for people not to set any limits.” She said the key is for WOMEN not to set any limits. Why? Because most of the time we ladies tend to set the limits ourselves and then blame other factors for our failure to move ahead. We impose our own limitations.
It may sound a bit far fetched to point the finger at ourselves, but honestly, why shouldn’t we? Someone else may be telling us we “can’t” achieve success, but we are in fact setting that barrier for ourselves by accepting the notion. In order to push past our personal road blocks, we have to change the way we think about what we are capable of doing and who we are capable of becoming. Much like an athlete who believes that she is perfectly capable of breaking the next world record, we have to believe that we can achieve what we set out to do without limitations.
Changing our mindset is a process, but one that is immeasurably fulfilling. Whose limitations are you accepting into your life right now and why? What are you going to do to remove them?

Yalla, lets play what if tag as Qwaider said… I’ve been asked to answer what will happen to my blog if I return to Amman.Tag rules:
State 5 things. at least. And tag 3 people … simple No??
Yalla… what will happen to Maioush if I go to Amman:
- The blog will have less posts (no time ya jama3a, I have sooooo many things to do there) :) bs, I’ll try cuz there will be so much to talk about too :)
- You’ll hear waaaaaay less stories about my cooking adventures (thank god for shawerma and falafel, and of course, my teata and 3ammati) LOL!
- A lot of complaining about the traffic in Amman, and how people don’t follow the rules when it comes to driving (3ala asas enni jay el mn USA ya3ni zai elli 3an jad) HAHAHA
- There will be a special section for my comics about issues in Jordan issues, and god knows how much are those :D
- My adventures of me getting lost, I’m the queen if getting lost in Jordan (well, here too, but I end up finding my way when I reach the freeway :) ), I end up in the weirdest places you can ever think of, I’ll tell you guys about it in my next post I promise :D
- (I THINK) Maioush will be no longer anonymous, I’ll meet with some of my friends I met though this blog :) , I think that will be great right??
So what will happen to your blog:
Nido if [you found out that you are pregnant with twins :) ]
Angry Husband if [your wife came back to her senses and your not angry anymore]
Mohannad if [your wife finds out about your blog LOOOOOOL! J/k :D no really if Jordan became the best country ever with NOOOOOOOOOO problems (man what are you gonna rant about :D ) ]

A quote comes from one of the world’s most-loved comediennes:
“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.” ~ Lucille Ball

While I do agree that optimism is the way to go, I think that discouragement can also be a good thing for us at times. Sometimes we have to sit in the bottom of the pit in and wallow around in the muck for a while until we can’t stand it anymore. Eventually you will get to a point where you can’t stand the darkness anymore. From that vantage point, we can study our options and decide the next move to get out of the pit.
Discouragement can often be catalyst for making a change. If you don’t see the negative, then how are you going to tell the difference between what is good and what is bad? If I were Lucille Ball, I would have changed that statement to say it doesn’t pay to STAY discouraged. Just my two cents.

Khalas 3ad, enough stupidity mshaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan allah, enough with all the bullshit, seriously I can’t take any more.
Ya3ni when somebody is trying to do a good freaking thing, instead of getting some freakin APPRECIATION, they get the stupidest comments I’ve ever seen in my whole life!!!
Some people are just too much, they call people hypocrites and they are the hypocrites, jad jad fi nas ma btest7i!!! Ya3ni you give and give and give, and treat them like they are worth something (although they are not), but they still have the nerve to come and act like they know better, and I’m telling you.. they know NOTHING!!!
I got to this conclusion a little bit late, but this bloggging thing is getting more stupid every single day, I see more trash are talking like they are important or something for some reason, they leave a comment or 2 and go to their blogs (like anybody cares) and start attacking other people cuz they are so cowards, they know that by writing in their blogs they can BAN whoever they want, and delete the comments they don’t like. ya5i toz feek(i) o fi el blog mnee7 heak???
I’m not gonna mention names, cuz they are not even worth mentioning here, but hey, I’m not gonna delete any single comment that comes to this article, say whatever you want, I don’t care…
