Daily Writing Made Me Aware of My Hidden Pattern.

I would follow this routine daily- the commitment we make to ourselves always. But are we the ones who actually follow it? Some do, but most don’t. The simple reason for not following it is excuses. There are certain patterns fixed in our brain. The brain doesn’t want to follow a new pattern; that’s why it gives excuses. Excuses like “I’ll do it from the next day” or “I’ll do it later.” This results in the failure of our commitments. These are things I had also faced previously. Consistent writing helped me in letting go of all the excuses of the brain.

Our daily habits are the things which become patterns for our brain. We follow those patterns without any problem. Our brain doesn’t allow any other pattern to be followed by us. But I would say it’s not impossible to save a new pattern in our brain. If we do certain activities by opposing our mind continuously for some days, our brain will adopt that system automatically after a few weeks or months. But the important part is to continue the activity regularly without any excuses.

The same I followed to be aware of my patterns and break the old ones. As I said earlier, daily writing is helping me a lot. The help it did was to track my patterns. Earlier, I was following non-productive patterns but thought they were the best. But as I said, leaving the comfort zone is something which helps us grow. I tracked those patterns and committed to making new ones that would be productive for me. I gave the foundation to this pattern on the first day I wrote the blog.

The first two or three days were completed with ease, but the difficulties started to come from the fourth and fifth days. My brain was making excuses for me. The reason, as I mentioned, is that it opposes following a new pattern. But I was determined to write consistently. The more the brain opposed, the more I used to sit for writing. Slowly, my brain is now adopting it as a new pattern to follow daily- the one which I think is the most productive.

Now, whenever I want to change some habits that are non-productive for me, I rebel against my brain. That has all been possible because of daily writing. It makes unhealthy patterns visible to me. It makes me aware to follow the healthy ones. Excuses will be given by our mind, but the more you avoid them, the closer you will be to creating new patterns to achieve your goal.

Why I Decided to Start Writing as a Beginner?

As you could understand by the title only that I am trying blogging even without experience. Today only, I created my Blogger account for a single reason — the reason that many of us face nowadays, the inability to talk to anyone but wanting to talk out our views. Some say it’s an introvert kind of behaviour; I don’t think it’s introvert behaviour. In fact, I think it’s all about a person’s hesitation in talking to someone. I am the same kind of guy who doesn’t know how to convey himself to others. All I have is the hesitation of what if someone says something. Then I decided, why should I not write to express myself ? Writing is the only mode of communication I am comfortable with. Why starting felt scary? Starting to write is the most difficult part. All I was doing was thinking about what I would write and what if it doesn’t work out for me. There was a certain sort of confusion going on in my mind and a little bit of fear about whether I would write things well. The ma...

What hesitation taught me about starting something new?

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 d...

How Daily Writing Is Improving My Focus and Clarity?

Hi everyone, how are you all? Today’s topic is something that we all look for to do any sort of work. It’s something that is required even before the starting of any work, i.e., focus and clarity. Isn’t it, guys? Have you ever started your work without focus or clarity? I think no, because you can’t even think to start without these two. Guys, just tell me, do you like scattered things or well-mannered things? I think well-mannered will be the answer. So where does it come from? It comes from focus and clarity.  Earlier, I wrote about the thinking of thoughts or the web of thoughts that revolves in my mind for writing and not starting it; they all were scattered thoughts. But nowadays, I know what to write and how to write. That’s the work focus and clarity have done for me. I know from where to start, and I know what to write about my learnings and thoughts in the blog. The scattered thoughts got channelised into a single one, i.e., to start writing.
