What Writing Is Teaching Me About Emotional Stability?

No reaction, no response, just silence and me. A smile on my face, enthusiasm in my heart, and the will to do better are helping me nowadays to share thoughts through blogs. I'm enjoying what I am doing. I don't let my mood decide my choice to write daily.

I couldn't allow my mood to decide my efforts for my goal. Mood depends on motivation, but sometimes I lack it. That doesn't mean I would give less effort to write that day's blog. I have been writing for more than 50 days; not even a single day have I skipped.

I remember sometimes I felt upset after seeing negligible response. Despite this, I didn't stop myself from expressing thoughts through blogs. But in that time period, I noticed my evolving pattern that holds my emotions while writing a blog.

I try to be reflective, not reactive, while sharing my learnings. I have shared what little incidents have taught me while expressing myself through blogs. What's going on in my brain is shared in the blog, whether it's about happiness or frustration.

Writing is making me stronger to face frustrations and remain calm. I remember a day when I forgot to save the file before writing and the device shut down. I was frustrated at that time, but the calmness I learned made me sit again to write from scratch.

Now I know there is a difference between reaction and response. Reactions are instant, such as frustration, which blocked my path to improve before. Responses are calm reactions which have benefitted me, just like when I wrote my blog from scratch.

If that day I had not taken the decision to write again, maybe I would not be writing now. That day I separated my decision from my anger. I understood it was all my fault, not anyone else's. Correcting it is my responsibility.

Calm consistency over emotional bursts. Showing up daily to stabilize my emotions.

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...
