How Letting Go of Overthinking Changed the Way I Write and Grow

Thinking about thoughts is quite normal. But once it's about the experiences and the moments lived, thinking is useless. I didn't have much to share, but I had my own moments. Either they are the ones that help me improve or help my writing. No third thing is involved in helping me get better every day. Whatever I wrote wasn't a story; it's the real reason and the incidents I am documenting.

Whenever I thought I would express this or that, I couldn't. Whatever thoughts and notions went through my mind throughout the day didn't get voiced on the same day. Out of the context, I write whatever flows at that particular hour. No control, just commitment. I have been trying to put in the effort continuously.

Things aren't in my control, so why think about them again and again? No more confusion. This is what I feel. With these thoughts, I don't make the same mistakes as before.

Earlier, voicing my words with clarity felt difficult. Thoughts and questions messed up many of my blogs. Once, writing a blog on overthinking taught me one of my greatest lessons. I wasn't finished expressing myself, but continuous thoughts kept interrupting the flow of my blog. If not to think, then what? If things are done without thinking, then what?

I stayed silent for a few hours. I stopped questioning. I wrote whatever was going on in my mind instead of wasting time. That day, I decided I would only control whatever was in my hands. I wouldn't try to control what I couldn't. Thoughts exist. I have control over how I respond to them. I wouldn't think any more about those questions.

With time, the reflection of writing gave me every answer to those questions.

Don't control. Go with the flow. Learn. Grow. Evolve.

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...
