Yesterday, I wrote a blog about writing a blog without experience. While writing the blog, I was having a certain sort of confusion or hesitation, which is normal for me. But I thought it is a universal rule that whenever an individual starts something, he or she faces certain confusion or has a fear of judgment. A fear which can be considered the biggest problem an individual faces before starting something new. But I thought, what is there to fear? Whosoever judges me, just judge. Fear is normal, but overcoming that fear is not normal for everyone. I know my efforts will help me overcome that fear.
I made that effort yesterday and wrote. It felt amazing after writing a blog. I felt that no judgment can break my will to write. Hesitation and fear can only be beaten by the key known as consistency — a word which is familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows. I was also a non-consistent person, but I thought, why don’t I become consistent if it helps in my growth?
Why do we delay starting?
We always delay our things. I was also delaying writing a blog, as I had decided to write a month ago. All I was doing was overthinking. I was literally stuck for that one month thinking about what I would write and whether something good would happen or not. Many other thoughts were going on in my mind, but all this time I was ignoring my efforts to learn a new skill, i.e., writing. Then finally, I thought, why not give it a try?
What changed after Day 1?
Writing gives you the freedom to communicate your imagination, feelings, or emotions. Hesitation is still there, but writing on Day 1 taught me that you will feel hesitant until you start things. Once you start, a feeling automatically develops in your mind which is known as self-confidence. It is the only reason I am writing today. A feeling came into my mind that I should write anyhow, no matter what anyone thinks. It gives a sort of happiness whenever you overcome overthinking, fear of judgment, or hesitation.
All I can say is that to overcome any sort of overthinking or feeling of hesitation, you just need to make an effort to start. Once you start, your mind understands that it is easy. I am writing today because I felt happy after writing yesterday, as I took the initiative to start, which gave me self-confidence today. Being consistent and having self-confidence can bring a lot of positive changes in the life of anyone who wants to try something new.
