What Writing is Teaching Me About Thinking and Overthinking?

No, can't now. I can't bear the stress to think a lot about each and everything anymore. Mental fatigue always hits hard whenever I get stuck in a thought loop. Imagining for self is good, but a lot is worthless.

Writing has made it possible for me to recognise whether my thoughts are in a loop or unlooped. Calmness is required for new thoughts to come into existence, not for previous ones' discussion within the brain. Thinking about a single thought has sometimes ruined my creativity to think something new.

On this writing journey, I understood the difference both thinking and overthinking carry. Before, I used to think both were the same, only the word “over” differentiates them. Surely, it does, but the one means creativity and the other means dullness, laziness, rigidity, etc. Overthinking always disturbs my creativity.

Now I know how self-awareness helps in handling this unimaginative, uncreative thing. I learned that clarity over every single view is a must, but that shouldn't be the reason for confusion for myself.

I write and erase again and again for clarity; through this my brain thinks new every time. I don't allow my brain to stick to a single thought. Writing has saved me from over-analysis of views. However, analysis I do before publishing the blog.

I noticed a big change from day one to today. Now a single thought doesn't revolve over and over again in the blogs. Now for every learning there are different perspectives and different blogs too. I'm trying to be raw and honest in each blog so that I can't stress over it thinking again and again.

Uniqueness comes through imagination, not through over-imagination. Through thinking we could imagine whatever we want; on the other hand, overly doing it could ruin everything.

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...
