Erratic thoughts
Life becomes a cloudy journey when you lose your self esteem.
Sometimes I view myself as one with a strong personality and have great confidence and plan of what I want. Lately, that has not been the case. I think I am drastically drowning and I cannot swim. However, how did I reach this erratic mindset?
I am extremely unhappy with my life. I think it has to do with the way things have shaped up. The place where I am now which I didn’t want to be in. The problem is that I cannot find a solution or a better path I want to go on. I feel that I purposely deviated from the path that I dreamt of. I am lost and confused to what I really want anymore. I think it is that end of 20′s mindset. Where is life taking me?
I need to figure out A, B, C instead of skipping to Z. I think that has been my problem all along. I want to get ahead so quickly in life and feel secure. Yet, I don’t know how or why or when or what I want.
I think brainstorming some ideas would be a good start right now.





Well I think you should keep a mood journal (you can download one) and maybe try taking St John’s Wort. The mood journal will help you to track your moods and determine the cause of your troubles. Are you sleeping well at night? What kills your motivation? I think you a need a road trip, slowly sail away and rest for about a week or so to get your head straight. Try to go to the gym and do some exercise I find it does the trick for me. Or what about a walk in the wilderness? I love taking long hiking trips. My best friend goes for retail therapy and facial/spa treatment and it does the trick for her.
Anyways, Best Wishes and hope you feel better soon.

Salaam, Sarah.
Oh I forgot, Chamomile Tea is brilliant. It seems to help relax me well. Try EFT or work on writing your memoirs. The more you are busy and occupied the less you will think about your troubles believe me. Ramadan is just around the corner so you gotta be ready…
Take Care and wish you a good day
I know what you mean. I just turned 30 and i’m about 90% sure what my ‘A,B,C’s are in my journey road of life. What helped me along the way was having the courage to reflect and see where i wasand what i needed to do to get where i wanted to go. I discovered something that changed my life completely and that is that i was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder in my mid-twenties. Apparently this prevented me from being my true self because i was scared of being judged. I wouldn’t let my true personality shine because i was full of fear of the consequences. Once i got a handle on my anxiety, everything started to fall in place. I had more control over my life. You might be surprised but i am Canadian of arab/lebanese descent. I believe arabs brought of in North America(especially in the middle east) are full of anxieity and it prevents us from being taken too seriously. it’s sad really. I want to be the change agent, and i think you, rebelious arab girl, can help the cause greatly. We need arabs like you
Your fine mona unfortunately confusion and unhapiness is what happens when you live in a (man made) patriarchal world. The Earth will be well rid of the human race when we are finally extinct when I look at the majority of individuals in the human race it makes me embarassed to be human. Selfish stupid idiots. Poor Earth I hope it can recover from all the damage stupid men have caused x x
Hey Mona, it’s crappy when you get full of doubt. Don’t know if it helps to hear it but it happens to everyone, no matter how sure they are they’re where they’ve always wanted to be, “what if?” is a question that haunts us all. Hopefully you’ll either be able to see what you want to aim for or you’ll be able to spend more time appreciating the positive about where you are now. Hopefully you’ll be able to tackle this calmly without worrying too much. Thinking of you.
i have tried to send an email to YOU,but the same returned back saying not acceptable.
why?..
@hellothere
Did you check the email you sent? If the email is noreply@rebelliousarabgirl.net that means I DO NOT REPLY TO IT! Otherwise, I don’t reply to every email. Some are NOT worth replying to!
Hi Mona,
I have not read your blog for a while because I was going through same conditions. However, I am sad to hear that and think you are under a social pressure more than anything else. I will not become philosopher here but can recommend the following:
- First thing, get out of the Mona you know… imagine you are a free little girl in an isolated island.
- Drop the culture walls out of you mind
- Go back to basics… Here is the key… yes basics of everything
- Have new hair cut. I mean totally different, something you never wanted to do before.
- Spice up your life crossing the boarder a bit. Mildly step over the line. This trigger some hormone simulating love or perfume.
- Chat with fake identity in chat rooms, flash reality off your mind and dive virtual a bit with no limitation.
- Relax and watch new movies.
- Tell yourself that you drive life, not the other way around. Marriage will happen when it is due and nothing you can do to change that.
- Remember most of Arab marriages are failures and considered marriage-to-do. So no point to rush into a worse situation.
- Remember, your beauty comes from within through happy smiles not through dry Barbie face. Your personality is the factor so let it be happy even if makes others (Community eyes) uneasy. At the end there is no security in life form a man or family.
Well, you might find this answer weird but I think it is better than antibiotic.
Mona you said: Did you check the email you sent? If the email is noreply@rebelliousarabgirl.net that means I DO NOT REPLY TO IT! Otherwise, I don’t reply to every email. Some are NOT worth replying to!
ME : The relevant comment to this post that I want to send is long..
I am asking how can I send an email to you, “also I am not expecting any reply for thatâ€
u mean you don’t like to see my email?..
@hellothere
http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/contact-me/
That’s where people CONTACT ME! It says so in the top..
mona if I want to do a nice powerpoint slideshow how do i do it so that the letters dont show at the same time but the kind of swoosh on the screen, if you understand. Are there any good websites to teach me. x
@Mona
@Otherwise, I don’t reply to every email. Some are NOT worth replying to!
I’m quite disappointed and upset after reading such an insensitive response! Now I get a feeling like why the heck did I discuss about my personal life and shared those sensitive past events in great detail here, it was really a silly mistake from my end.
So all those messages you don’t reply aren’t really worth, isn’t it?
As my last request, please delete all my personal posts from this blog as they don’t deserve to remain here anymore.
I’m also unsubscribing from this blog with immediate effect.
And, good luck with your life. Thank you!
@Dr. Akula2
I wasn’t talking about you? And I read every single email and every single comment. I just said that most of you have great insight and are afraid to share it with the world.
Please read what I am trying to say instead of making such erratic judgments!
I’ve made the right judgment, please remove the my personal posts.
You can always take a moment and think about those ‘hard to explain’ moments in life and laugh about the absurdity of it all! I could always use some help finding posts for my blog. Good luck! Life = #itshardtoexplain
@Sa3b
sorry, I put the wrong blog – http://www.whocanexplain.wordpress.com
This post gave me a few ideas. I hope some of them will be useful to you.
You use a lot of metaphors. Actually, everyone does, but sometimes they are not always obvious.
I do self-esteem coaching and I particularly use Clean Language coaching that uses simple questions that have no interpretations by the coach. And it’s a method that utilises metaphors.
Would you like to understand more about your metaphors and your self-esteem? If so, read on. If not, I don’t want to mess with your metaphors, so best to stop here. This may not make much sense to other readers as metaphors can be very personal.
“Life becomes a cloudy journeyâ€. What kind of journey was that journey before it was cloudy?
“I want to get ahead so quickly in life and feel secure. “ What needs to happen for you to get ahead in life?
“I need to figure out A, B, C instead of skipping to Z.†What happens just before skipping to Z?
