What Writing Is Teaching Me About Pattern Breaking?

I had to quit. Damn! I would definitely. Not writing, but specific habits which were not letting me move further on my writing journey. But how to identify those habits was the question? Freely expressing my thoughts had given me space to identify and break those patterns.

A thousand questions trouble me, but calm self-introspection without any pressure is a simple answer to deal with them. It always makes me feel good. Sharing with a calm mind and thoroughly thinking about my experiences is the best way to identify the pattern, whether it's positive or negative.

Once a day I was not writing and was just thinking of skipping continuity. However, I ignored the thought and wrote. Some days later the same excuse came, and that also I ignored and continued. The same thing happened again and again over four to five days. I was almost at the end line of breaking the continuity, but I didn't.

I noticed it and wrote about my previous excuse-making habits the next day in the blog. Then I wrote about laziness after it. On the third day, my brain was not giving excuses and was just helping me defeat laziness. Isn't it the best way to get rid of excuses?

Days passed, no excuses, no laziness, just the will to continue without any hesitation and pressure. I acknowledged my mistake at an early stage and tried my best to win over it. I preferred awareness over any reaction and responded calmly.

Any pattern is easy to make and difficult to break, mainly the negative ones. I tried to understand my pattern at the foundation which may cost me discipline and consistency. I couldn't afford the cost, so I broke it.

Rewriting habits every single day to step forward slowly toward the end goal.

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...
