Why One Day at a Time Is the Secret to Staying Consistent

One day, one goal. Not multiple goals at a time. Whether it's about my experiences or the words, they improve and evolve every single day. I started writing myself out, but didn't write it all at once. With time, I am sharing it bit by bit. Expressing an incomplete thought each day helps me show up. When it finally becomes complete, it's another day of showing up consistently.

I was writing my blog a few days back and got stuck for a while. A while which made me think about all thoughts, all days at once. I completed my blog and revisited myself again. A question popped up. Did I improve all at once? No. I did it by adding something valuable to myself every day. I didn't just reach 100 days the next day I started writing myself out.

The days I failed got counted. The days I was blank got counted. The days I thought of quitting got counted. Every day, with its ups and downs, added up to 100.

I recalled a memory, the time I was around my thoughts. The memory about one day at a time. The memory which taught me that a day is a goal. I had finished writing my blog on the seventh day. A week of consistency made me feel great. A feeling like I did it.

A few more days later, I wrote a blog on consistency. Seven days were my experience. Writing it out, I realized consistency is something which we make. It's something which is in our control. With these thoughts, I decided to continue taking one day to write, the goal of a day. I didn't decide on a specific number.

As of now, it's continuing with this thought. I expressed. Goal complete. Day complete. Consistency continues. I repeat it every day.

One step at a time. A big goal is made up of small ones. That's it.

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...
