The Truth About Consistency Nobody Talks About

No. I didn't.

I didn't break my consistency. Not my efforts either. It wasn't built within a few days or weeks. It took months to be built. However, I experienced moments which made me redefine my consistency. A pause doesn't break consistency. It doesn't break the discipline of continuous improvement.

Writing taught me to accept myself, my flaws, and my improvements. A pause without intention isn't the end of the discipline followed for months.

I didn't skip a day without expressing myself. Even though I went blank with thoughts, I didn't. Not even when I was confused. But the day I fell ill, I skipped. I skipped the day without voicing myself out. Did I break my streak? A question on my journey. A question on my commitment to show up regularly.

A skipped day felt demotivating. Without intention, did my streak get broken? The inner voice spoke out a big no. A streak isn't what the days define; it's something defined by consistent efforts, by commitment. The inner thought gave clarity to my confusion. I accepted expressing myself twice within a day. Now, I am waiting to reflect and voice myself out twice within this week.

Consistency has been the commitment which writing taught me. Commitment to every small effort to be better. Commitment to fixing every mistake and flaw. Commitment to expressing myself much louder through words.

A pause isn't the failure of continuity. It isn't the end. It's a new beginning, not from zero. It's the uncertainty which motivates me to put more effort into showing up.

Accept the pause. Bounce back loudly.

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...
