What Writing Is Teaching Me About the Fear of Running Out of Thoughts?

Not anxious, not worried, but a thought that is resisting me to think. A bit of questions filled with what if? They are not just stopping me from continuing to write but are also affecting my brain; to overthink only about those questions. Sometimes, the brain becomes an arena where two thoughts fight.

Nervousness on the face, mind blank in between while writing a blog. A question constantly revolving in the brain: what if I had no thought to write, a complete blank mind? This question arose yesterday while writing the blog. Saying I don’t fear this situation would be a lie, but I know how to deal with it.

I was writing yesterday’s blog with full excitement, but suddenly a thought knocked on the brain’s door. Such thoughts can’t be avoided. The excitement changed to nervousness, the smile on my face faded away. Thoughts of what I would write when I would have no thoughts scared me for a minute.

After five to ten minutes, the thought disappeared. The smile returned to my face, and I continued and published the blog. Those five to ten minutes of silence played a critical role in dealing with the fear of running out of ideas.

In those minutes, I remembered the lessons I had written before and learned while blog writing. The lesson that patience would benefit me in many situations. Ideas would not finish ever, but would come after emptiness. Our brain is a factory that would never stop producing ideas; whether good or bad doesn’t matter.

After this arena war of thoughts, I finally realised these questions are the result of writing. They were not there when I was lazy, but are now because I am trying to come out of that comfort.

Sharing thoughts with honesty needs courage. And when you have courage, fear can’t stop you from showing up. Fear fades away when consistency shows up.

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...
