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

-
Image
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...

Talking to Yourself More Than Others: A Journey to Self-Discovery

-

Talking to self once felt awkward, but now it feels like home. Chaos to clarity had been a journey of talking, not with others but with self. I don't know how the activity which seems to be boring is one of my priorities. I never talked much with self, but when I talked, I found a lot inside me. Views and opinions started to come out as I took initiative to talk with my own self. Now, my day starts and ends with internal dialogues.

On this writing journey, I understood self-awareness and self-talk feel incomplete without each other. Introspection had become a channel between expression and awareness. Asking questions for every learning and giving their answers to self had been the most satisfying thing. It helps in exploring something which had been missing within me.

Before writing blogs, I had only heard the name introspection, but the day I gave words to my voice, I felt it. While writing every blog, I constantly ask myself if I am expressing correctly or not. It helps me correct the problem of choosing wrong words, phrases, or sentences.

Constantly seeking self-validation keeps me on track to express words raw and honest. Sometimes I get stuck and struggle to come out from the loop of my own different perspectives. Introspection gives me courage to break that loop and stay with the one which I am sharing in the blog. When my inner voice explodes, it ruins overthinking.

Every day I introspect myself, not just to express but to reflect improvement too. Rereading my previous blogs is one of the best introspective activities for being aware of my mistakes and correcting them fast.

“When I talked to others, I got confused. When I talked to myself, I found clarity. Self-conversation is far better than listening to others.”

Patience had been a major reason for the development of the introspection habit. The day I wrote my blog in peace, I asked my first ever question to myself about what I was sharing. With time, internal dialogues started more often and became my behavior to understand myself more clearly.

Inner voice is my comfort, which ensures consistency, effort, discipline, and honesty. When my voice echoes, things get clearer.

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...
