What Writing Is Teaching Me About Creative Exhaustion?

Empty completely now. Starting once again from scratch, thought gives strength whenever I feel blank. It gives me space to think views, opinions from zero. Reaching at one demands creativity. But when creativity exhausts, pause becomes a necessity.

Writing with a blank mind feels comfortable and joyful. Awaiting imagination to take over every thought, view, opinion, and perspective feels exciting. It not only helps me find new words, but also gives me the experience of amazing tales.

Being blank and being creatively exhausted don't feel the same. While writing without any thoughts gives new thoughts a chance to get expressed, when I become exhausted, new thoughts don't appear and imagination doesn't help me fly.

While writing former blogs, I had experienced numbness but never became blank with ideas. But while writing yesterday's blog, I was completely empty with my thoughts. Not even a single opinion was going right. I took a pause then and there. I gave myself some time to reshuffle ongoing creativity and completed it after some time.

While feeling brain-drained, a pause made me energetic to think from zero again. Writing taught me a lesson to remember forever: silence of the mind is part of the creative cycle. Chaos of thoughts drains curiosity; a halt revives it.

Not having something to say feels sad, but it doesn't mean the end of creativity; it's just a halt from where the plane would take off again. Sooner, “I can't think anymore” would change into “nothing is coming right now.”

Exhaustion needs rest, but blankness needs patience.

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...
