What Writing Is Teaching Me About Psychological Endurance?

I know what to write and how to write; it doesn't show overconfidence. But it shows a sense of knowing what and which learnings could be shared without any pressure or hesitation. Pressure and motivation come and go, but our actions decide the level of effort.
The maximum effort I could give to write my blog shows its efficiency. Efforts can't be decided emotionally, by motivation, or with pressure. I had my own experience which taught me this lesson. An incident which happened almost a month ago differentiated the above terms for me.

One day when I was not motivated enough to write a blog despite having enough thoughts to be presented changed my perspective towards effort. I was literally enjoying the laziness and comfort. But an instinct at eleven made me think of writing and maintaining continuity. I was feeling low, a bit anxious too, thinking if I would be completing my blog before twelve.

I finished writing and published my blog before twelve. I was happy and excited as I was successful in maintaining consistency. But a question remained: Could consistency be maintained only under pressure, or does it get affected on low-energy or less motivated days?

I ended the blog with a question. A question with no answer. Days passed and I wrote at my specific time. After almost five days, I understood what the question wanted to make me learn. I understood that without anything special, I maintained the streak of my blogs; generally stability over intensity.

With too much excitement, I could end up having dramatic effort, which I didn't want. I chose calm persistence over that effort, which ended up maintaining regularity. Therefore, excitement doesn't affect my brain to write raw and honest.

Neutral days are best to write something special. Emotions in the blog come from the brain as they are, just well structured.

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...
