Same Streak, New Approach: Breaking Habits the Right Way

-
I paused, observed, and continued- without breaking my streak. However, I broke the way I used to show up for myself. Starting a new loop before the old one breaks helps me evolve every day. Redefining raises the standards, so why can't breaking the old habit create a new one?

Writing doesn't only reflect myself; it helps me explore beyond my creativity. Trying something new isn’t a choice- it’s a necessity. Challenging myself didn't let me remain predictable. More challenges, more flaws, more learnings, more improvements- but it needs more courage too.

While writing blogs, almost every day I follow the same routine- write, observe, improve. The day started with acknowledging mistakes and ended by improving them. Being in the loop was not letting me think beyond it. A few days back, I tried something different. Knowing my limitations and bars, I challenged myself.

Questioning forced me to improve and write at the same time. No more observation after completion and publishing. However, I took time publishing but didn't give up on myself. The excitement felt like raindrops from dry clouds. The next day, I was about to start my blog when a thought stopped me- let's try yesterday's way to express myself.

That was the day my question became my answer to evolve. Changing the way didn't feel hard; a challenge did it. Questions were asked, effort was raised, and I evolved every day, but neither the determination changed nor the consistency. The moment became a surreal experience for learning.

I realised discipline didn't mean doing it the same way always. It stood with me through my commitment to improve, not through my way of improving. Being better in a different way didn't change the firm hand. Same actions, different awareness.

Showing up consistently doesn't mean showing up the same way every day. Different days, different ways; expressing myself wouldn't be different. Consistency stayed- the method changed.

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...
