What Writing Is Teaching Me About Handling Contradictions Within Myself?

Standing between two thoughts doesn't define confusion. It's the stage where clarity comes. Maybe they are opposite to each other, but understanding both gives wider perspectives. Knowledge of both gives an idea to think further about them, or just leave them, or improve them.

I do contradict myself many times but never get upset or avoid thinking about the other side. I accept the irregularities of views and opinions and try to improve them with time.

Contradictions are not gaps; they are just speed breakers to slow down irregular and complex thoughts. I love when two thoughts collide and create chaos. Both look valid, but finding which one fits best with my words is a difficult task.

Writing doesn't just let me express myself, but it also helps me identify the intents of thoughts. Understanding the plots and views changes when I write down all those thoughts, and I choose whichever suits best with my learnings and experiences.

While writing a few days back, I was numb, with no thoughts, and was sitting with a disappointed face. I was feeling bland and creatively exhausted that day. However, feeling low didn't matter, and I completed publishing the blog by thinking more and more.

The next day, something unexpected happened. I was excited to share my previous day's experience. But two thoughts that were looking the same to me felt different now. Creative exhaustion was different from blankness. Those contrasting ideas gave me a moment to smile at myself.

Creative exhaustion was not about lacking ideas, but blankness was all about it. Seriously!~ that was the reaction I gave when I understood both a bit. Although, I completed the blog mentioning both terms differently.

Proving myself right isn't important, but understanding myself is for sure.

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...
