What Writing is teaching me about the stories I tell myself?

I don’t just live my life; I constantly create stories about it. A tale mixed with emotions, experiences, narratives, learnings, and whatnot. I have been writing for some days but understood the significance of stories a few days back.

While writing blogs, each day is a storyline of my learnings, and with time they are strengthening. But it's not like everything I think is true. Even something that feels true can still be a misleading story.

I remember when I was writing a blog on the topic of overthinking. Many narratives accumulated within my brain, which I started writing. But when I wrote every one of them, I found myself wrong. I mistakenly wrote my thinking as overthinking.

My thoughts felt convincing; until writing exposed them. I was able to catch my lie covered with some fake narratives. Two stories could look alike, but their experiences and plots couldn't be identical. And it could only be felt through the art of expression, which I am trying to do consistently.

Initially, I lacked expressing myself out loudly through blogs. Some of the narratives limited me from thinking beyond them. Hesitation was one of the imaginary stories which I am deleting to grow. Trusting the process has been key to expressing regularly without any doubt.

My blog writing has been a story of creative emotions. It couldn't be felt instantly but over time. An experience from a mistake today is always a plot for my new blog. And it changes with time, as writing allows questions to be asked in every detail to get a new tale out of the old one. For me, questions tell why tales exist.

The stories I tell myself shape my reality; but writing helps me question if they’re even true.

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...
