What Writing Is Teaching Me About Keeping Promises to Myself?

Daily breaking of promises was hurting me till I took the last one firmly. The last words I gave to myself changed me completely. I am talking about the words which I gave to myself before expressing myself in blogs. It did not only help me to learn new things but also told me my value; the value of becoming someone who is productive, not the one who wastes time. Now I know if I will value my words, the words are going to help me in valuing all around. It is easy to break promises but a difficult task to fulfil them. And especially when it is with yourself, it becomes much heavier to fulfill.

One and a half months ago, I was living a very comfortable life. But I was facing problems: overthinking, nervousness while doing anything, hesitation while expressing, frustrating behaviour. These problems were creating trouble for me. I used to promise myself that I would work upon myself to be free from all these problems, but I never used to fulfill it. This was only because I was non-productive and wasting time instead of doing something valuable. But I was determined to do something to free myself from all these problems.

I promised myself that I was going to work on myself and become productive. I started writing days later. A few days remained the same as before. Things started to change after five or six days. Overthinking, nervousness, and hesitation were decreasing gradually. When I noticed the first signs of change, I promised myself to continue it. The promise that I gave to myself has taught me life-changing lessons; the lessons of discipline, consistency, value of time, starting instead of overthinking, and much more.

There were days when I was not motivated to write, but even then I wrote. The promise reminded me to write daily. Valuing my words has given me courage to do something productive and learn something positive. I told you in my early blogs that whatever is going to happen will happen, but I will only learn. That thought was the first result of my words to myself to change myself.

These things are evolving me to express myself with utmost honesty. The words I kept gave roots to self-trust, which I was lacking before. Confidence is increasing day by day by writing blogs continuously. Writing made me understand that if you have the willpower to keep your promise, you can do anything.

Now skipping writing feels difficult. Self-belief does not allow me to leave even a single day. That confidence is helping me to show up every day. Valuing our words does not only change us but defines our character too.

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. Daily writing play...
