What Writing Is Teaching Me About Internal Validation?

"Is it right?" to "It is right." Same words with different meanings. The one shows self-doubt whereas the other shows self-belief. I have experienced both, but "It is right" is my favourite one. It has given me confidence to write and express freely with honesty. The roots of this are my self-approval of my thoughts. I validate everything I write before publishing.

While wrapping up yesterday's blogs, I remembered my first day of writing a blog. That day I was asking myself questions: what to write and how to write. Thoughts were scattered, and I was hesitating to share them freely. But after all this, I tried my best to write honestly. I shared my feelings about how, without even experience, I was trying. Isn't it authenticity?

It was the first time when I shared true emotions as they were and didn't exaggerate any thought. That day when I published the blog, it was self-approval. That day I understood self-approval builds self-confidence to perform better. Yes, I know I was not the best on the first day. But could you think from my perspective? For me, who didn't even know what words to choose, just wrote and published the blog. It was surely the best for me.

In between, self-doubt was there about my efforts; was I wasting them and so on. But the small improvements I saw while rereading blogs shut the door on self-doubt. That day I was convinced about my efforts. Everything matters, but my efforts matter more than anything else. I started sharing experiences with more joy.

But now I think all this is because of the belief I gained from self-validation. It taught me life-changing lessons. Approving my thoughts has shown me growth every single time self-doubt knocked.

This incident may look small, but for me it's the first page of a life storybook; without it, other pages are useless to read. Later on, as days passed, I learned many new things while writing blogs. Almost every day something out of the box.

I write, I publish, I reread, find mistakes, improve next time, and try to repeat it daily. I celebrate my improvement to put in more effort while doing so. Showing up daily is my self-approval.

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...
