What Writing Is Teaching Me About Inner Resistance?

Not in a mood to write but doing it. Not because I am tired of it, but because of a feeling to stop it. Why? I don't know honestly. But a feeling is telling me constantly, let's not write today, continue it tomorrow. Not because I don't have an idea to write, but it would cost me my day to day consistency.

The brain, being a gamer, is playing a game with me. Giving me a chocolate to skip today's task. I wouldn't eat chocolate labelled for laziness.

I remember an incident which is just a small example of how my brain manipulates me. I was late that time to write that day's blog. But I was a little bit worried if I would be able to carry continuity. It was around 10 pm at night, my brain was asking for entertainment instead of writing a blog. Time was passing bit by bit, wrinkles on my forehead were clearly increasing with that bit by bit.

All I remember is that I opposed my brain seeking entertainment. I took a deep breath and decided to write without thinking about anything at that time. But time was around 11:20 pm, my brain tried to stop me, but I opposed. I thought completing the day's task would not break my consistency, time is adjustable, 5–10 minutes up or down. I completed and published my blog around 12:10 midnight.

A sigh of relief, I was feeling on cloud nine as I completed my day's task. Then today, when I am feeling the same, I motivated myself thinking of this incident.

This incident taught me how our brain favours and opposes us. It resists us to continue our work or task. I understood sometimes brain resistance should be opposed and we should continue doing our work.

Resistance fades infront of discipline. No mood stopped me from showing up today.

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...
