Why Self-Awareness Leads to Overthinking (And Feels Like Pressure)

-

Being self-aware is both a boon and a bane. It neither holds me back nor helps me grow faster. The more I know myself, the more my brain thinks. The self-aware spider makes a web of thoughts within the mind. Messy thoughts didn't just affect my words, they exhausted my energy, leaving me blank. Constantly thinking about improvement has become my pattern. Doing it continuously exposes my flaws and mistakes. And knowing the pattern makes it harder to ignore them. Whenever I think, my brain struggles between thoughts of flaws and improvement. Mental noise replaces clarity in this conflict. While writing blogs, clarity plays a significant role in giving words to the voice. But sometimes I fumble while writing words for my thoughts and learnings. I begin analysing in between more than expressing. I constantly look after the thoughts I write, ensuring they define my emotions and thoughts completely. Clarity struggles and turns into constant questioning. I remember a specific...

How Consistency Changed Me: Outgrowing the Person I Used to Be

-
I’ve left behind the version of me who lacked self-belief. That was me- someone who carried the dream of becoming better. I wrote my learnings and experiences of the journey but didn't share a bit about me, how I evolved as a person. With time, voice gave words to write, but it didn't remain constant; in fact, it improved a lot.

Despite distractions, the streak has been continuing on the roots of patience. The person who had started this writing journey wouldn't recognise me now. Writing reflected what was not letting me step forward to express my voice louder- a voice carrying belief, confidence, courage, patience, and much more.


Time changed, so did the fears and priorities. I remember an incident which made me see what I have become currently. I started writing with fear of judgement and hesitation. For some days, I became eager to share what I had in my library of learnings- my brain. A fear of not showing up consistently haunts me, making me maintain regularity no matter what.

From choosing the correct words for my emotions to trying to improve those words has been a fun journey. My mindset is clear: to add something every single day. Either it's flow or flaw, enhancement cannot be compromised as a choice. In fact, it's what has been developing my identity.

What once felt difficult now feels normal. Thinking about what to write and which one to write feels exciting. A joyous face always starts writing with hope- almost there. Once my excuses were exposed to me, I no longer define them as my obstacles. Delaying writing didn't affect me much because I believe completion matters in maintaining the streak.

The repeated loop of thoughts sometimes exhausts me with my thoughts. But growth didn't just improve me- it replaced blankness with curiosity. I didn’t just grow- I became someone new.

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...
