What Writing Is Teaching Me About Identity?

One question, different answer. Damn! It didn't happen before with me. I am amazed seeing this improvement in me. I, who was juggling in my thoughts and emotions once, am now trying to understand them. I literally feel someone has just clicked the reset button of my brain. What actually I am talking about is something which everyone has; their own identity.
Formerly, I had written about my perspective and experiences which I had gained through writing blogs. But I didn't write what I actually was before writing and what I am now. I am still trying my best to change myself while keeping my authenticity.

Writing out my voice has shaped my words, but the change didn't stop there. The words which carry the weight of my voice affect my behaviour. Words are not only making up my blogs but are defining my improved behaviour. Before writing blogs, I used to think what writing has to be done is quite easy.

But the passing of days has made me aware that it's easy to say but difficult to do. I wasn't even much aware of the selection of words needed to complete the blog, but now I am trying my best to choose the right ones. I wasn't honest enough to accept my mistakes in front of anyone, but now I try to acknowledge them as soon as possible. When I started writing, I wasn't aware what to write. Now I know what I could share.

I wrote about consistency and discipline in blogs. But it doesn't stop only at blogs; they are part of my daily life. My small actions which I shared were part of my daily life. Isn't it interesting? For you, maybe not, but for me definitely yes.

Now my opinions matters, which were not even present before. Being the one with opinions gives me confidence to write without hesitation. It's not like I changed myself completely. But it's like I accepted my flaws, improved them, and learned valuable things through writing. Just learning good to be good enough as a human being.

Writing has not only benefited me as a skill but acted as a mirror which has reflected my flaws to correct. It has made me someone who doesn't require any filter. Being raw, being honest is the best identity I carry now.

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...
