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...

What Writing Taught Me About Always Feeling “Almost There”?

-
I’m no longer chasing perfection- I’m chasing progress with awareness. For the first time, I feel like I’m not far anymore- just one step away. This always boosts morale to look forward constantly for growth. From "a long way to go" to almost "there," perspectives change with time on this writing journey. A shared experience gets a learning companionship to reflect voice more beautifully in blogs.

Not every thought needs to be improved- some just need to be understood. Not every one of them requires a newer version. A shift in thinking and mindset defines how the improvement I was seeking has now been adopted. Realisation feels different from reality. Doubt about being the best turned into satisfaction of getting closer, which developed a sense of courage to show up regularly.


Courage to reach almost there fuels thoughts to improve day by day. Now, words don’t need pressure- they come naturally.

I started writing a few months back thinking of self-improvement and expressing what I was hesitant to say. Determination came when voice got words, but when voice improved, courage joined the journey. Day by day, it's increasing a bit to get what I had been aiming- not too far anymore.

Almost every blog ends with a line to share others' views on my thoughts. In the beginning, no comments were quite normal; thinking "a long way to go" motivated me to share my voice strongly. But now it's been more than fifteen weeks and no comments. It's not disheartening. However, "a step away" boosts my morale to wait more calmly for the first comment.

I always felt close but never complete. Chasing perfection has been a journey of imperfections. But the realization of the thought- it's just a step away; shapes me with consistency to step forward with confidence. Chasing the next version constantly is helping me break imperfection into "I am a step away from perfection."

Writing feels satisfying when it's just a few steps away from growth, but it always gets delayed. Chasing more improvement neglects current progress. However, when acknowledged, growth has been a loop every day.

Maybe I’m not there yet- but I’m no longer far, and that changes 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...
