Experiencing the unexpected is the most surreal feeling one could ever feel in their lifetime. Observing myself completely is the most unexpected experience which writing gave me. It not only helps me improve as a writer but also as a good human being.
The brain which was curious to look at what's inside the brain of others is now trying to figure out its own imagination. Figuring it out was quite difficult initially, but when it's done, now it's in a loop. Observing my brain again and again is the most joyous thing for me; it reminds me to be better consistently.
Noticing regularly shows how incomplete thoughts complete, how unstructured thoughts get structure, and how thoughts get messed up. Accepting mistakes was never my habit, but I started admitting them from the day I started writing. I understood how my mind works: the more I acknowledge mistakes, the more my brain works to improve next time.
Thinking but not overthinking is the most beneficial result of this habit of observation. Knowing which thought is worthless reduces the pressure to think about it and helps me focus on the worthy ones instead.
Lately, I have observed the most amazing thing within myself. Earlier, whenever I used to see a tree, I just tried to recall its name. Now the table is turned; I don't only see the tree but watch its branches, roots if visible, flowers, or fruits it has. Definitely, I am telling this for a tree, but for thinking for sure.
Our brain is not just to answer questions, but mostly for questioning the answers for ourselves. I have felt the need for calmness for the brain every single time. Not every time answers or reactions are required instantly.
The more I look into my brain, the more it helps me to be reflective, and the better I understand myself. It's not a choice to observe; it's my obligation to grow.
