What Writing Is Teaching Me About Boredom?

From the last few days, I was feeling something incomplete and lost while writing blogs. I was writing on certain topics and trying to complete them as soon as possible. Whether it was shared correctly or not didn’t matter. It was not a confusing state but something much different from it. It was boredom, or unsatisfaction, or dullness, or whatever other name it had.
I was not trying to escape, but I was also not sharing my experiences as well as I was earlier. I was not writing the exact situation; instead, I was just here and there around the topic. When I feel lost, my mind tricks me by distracting me. This distraction was troubling me and was destroying my clarity of thoughts.

When clarity gets disturbed, I end up writing messy thoughts. The thoughts are honest but scattered all over different paragraphs, with no sequence and no order. Boredom feels bad, but it made me learn something valuable; patience, which makes me think calmly in every situation.

But I noticed something creative while writing messy thoughts. My thoughts were scattered, but I was having some better terms and analogies to share an improved version of the blog. A sigh of relief I felt at that time; at least one thing got right. I didn’t expect something good from that boring situation. I felt bored many times but never acknowledged this perspective.

There I learned one thing which is quite interesting. We all feel bored sometimes. But while experiencing it, our brain gives us a signal to let our creativity out and do something crazy. It doesn’t mean irrelevant, but something which adds uniqueness and relevancy in whatever work we do.

I learned how boredom could also play a significant role in life. Now, writing blogs while lacking enthusiasm feels like a self-conversation; a conversation which taught me the importance of small happenings and incidences. When it comes to boredom, it is just unutilized energy which has to be channelized correctly and effectively.

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...
