How Writing Every Day Helped Me Overcome Self-Doubt and Build Confidence

No. I can't. I wanted to improve, but I didn't want to write myself out every day. These were the thoughts that made me underestimate myself. I couldn't. Every day? Not possible. However, I made all these thoughts out of context, trying to express myself by putting in all the effort. What I know is, the first thing to grow is to grow beyond self-doubt, replacing it with courage and belief. Writing blogs daily gives me that courage over the doubts and questions I had.

A few days back, I was done. Done with the blog, with thoughts, and with questions. But thinking is quite unpredictable. I remembered one of my old memories. A memory of truth. A memory of joy. Writing my first blog is a very special moment for me. It was the day I stepped out of my comfort zone.

I wrote one word. Thought for a minute, then wrote the second word. Erased a few words, wrote again. I continued the same until I was done writing. Words wrapped in hesitation showed courage and belief for the very first time. But once they appeared, writing continuously started increasing my confidence every day.

Could I write? The question that made me underestimate myself vanished along with the hesitation on the very first day. With everyday effort and commitment, I try to continue growing beyond every doubt and question.

Writing myself out is great for evolving with time. Tried once. Felt good. Tried again. Felt great. The third time, I didn't try- I just did. I felt calm and relaxed. Facing problems is the only way to wipe out every hesitation, fear, or thought of underestimation.

To grow, you need to have belief in yourself despite having questions.

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...
