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.
