The Day I Stopped Overthinking and Started Understanding Myself

I stopped.

I stopped thinking too many thoughts at a time. I stopped fearing judgment. I stopped fearing making mistakes. What I was yesterday, I am not today. Writing improved me, evolved me within a few days of expressing. Expressing me to myself. Expressing my voice through words. Expressing what moments taught me about being myself.

With thousands of thoughts, I had lost myself. The day writing took a stand for me, the tables turned. Things started sorting themselves out simply, with no more confusion. Clarity followed when I started writing. Confusion disappeared when mistakes were acknowledged; when I accepted myself. Accepted what I am and what I could be.

A hope to be the one I could be motivates me every new day. It motivates me not to skip what I started, introducing me to myself.

When the messed-up notions cleared, curiosity and creativity knocked on my door. They pushed me to rethink my definitions. The definition of discipline and consistency I am trying to follow. The definition of the small efforts I make for myself. Nobody is responsible for my growth. It's only me who has my support. It's me who tries again and again through failures.

Mistakes do happen when we try. Without trying, there would be no mistakes. I am not always grammatically correct in my blogs. I don't always express fluently what I am learning. But if I didn't, then how would I find my mistakes? How would I know myself better, become better?

I don't read my previous blogs only to improve. I read them to check my truth to myself. Am I expressing myself better or not? The question that tells me to write, not to think too much.

When all the mistakes, notions, and perspectives are expressed through words, clarity follows. Clarity for effort. Clarity for discipline. Clarity to be better every day.

Don't overthink. Be yourself through expressing.

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...
