Every Day Isn't the Same - Here's What Writing Daily Taught Me About Mistakes

Going from "I didn't have anything to write about" to "I had something to write" is a story which I live every single day. Every day is about learning new things. It's not a thought anymore. It's been my way to challenge my notions every day. To think everything differently every single day. Different thoughts, different challenges, and different things to improve. But one thing remains constant, making mistakes. Mistakes writing the blog, mistakes thinking about notions.

It's a myth that every day comes with a lesson - with flaws or improvements that make it different from the rest. Writing has been reflecting the truth of every notion I had. Some notions which I read, some which I have.

I remember how I wrote my blogs for the first few weeks. I used to think about what I should write next every day. What mistakes I had to improve with upcoming blogs. At that time, my focus always stayed on fixing every flaw I had.

But now, tables have turned. Focus has shifted to trying new thoughts, new notions to write about. New thoughts and challenges to think differently. New challenges are the opportunity to learn something more valuable than earlier days. No more thinking about what to write next, how to word every thought. Just going with the flow, accepting mistakes and trying to fix them.

A few days back, I didn't have a word to express. I got numb. Numb with imagination. Numb with creativity. Nothing was giving me a notion I could write a blog about. The same thing had happened twice before. But this time there was a change. I wasn't frustrated. I started reading my prior blogs. And that's it. Reading my blankness blog, I realised it's time to explore something new again. I finished writing about my new perspective on running out of notions.

From that day, I had something to express every single day. Something which I keep within me to express in one of the blank days. The day when creativity too gets exhausted and needs redefinition.

The day I felt blankness was the best memory I had. It was the day I realised I needed to start from the beginning again. It was the day which draws the line between thinking to write and living to write. Writing as a lived experience makes this writing journey more memorable and knowledgeable.

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.
