How Writing Guides Me to Find My Voice

Not every day is perfect. Some days made me doubt myself. Some days felt lost in multiple thoughts. I had lived those moments being lost. I had lived every single day when I doubted myself. Why improve? What's the need to improve? Why take challenges? A few questions may sound normal, but they aren't. They are the ones which made me think for myself. Before writing blogs, life was going smoothly. No thoughts, no perspectives. Life wasn't fun. A boring and repetitive routine, consistently without a single challenge.

Laziness was the best comfort space I had. I wasn't sure if I had my own thoughts or if I just read and continued believing them. There was no usage of my words, my perspective, notions, and creativity in my own life. I wasn't aware of my voice. No mistakes were being acknowledged. Not a single activity to enhance and evolve. These thoughts forced me to think for myself. For me to think, having a dream to write, then why wasn't I working on it?

The first few days passed in confusion. How would I write? How would I start? What would I write? After almost a week, I realised I was just delaying. Delaying expressing myself, delaying stepping ahead for my dream.

With all the chaos, I started. I started my blog one day. A day when I decided to stop thinking so much. A day when I stepped forward with the thought that whatever will happen, would happen, but I would improve. Despite loving to write, I questioned what I had to improve about myself in the blog. Not because I doubted myself, but because I wanted writing to guide me to improve, to guide me to write better every day.

When I completed my first blog, I felt something had evolved. Evolved by not passing one more day being lazy, enjoying comfort.

The first day got over. I made a few mistakes but ignored them. I got prepared to show up on the second day. And I did. I made a few more mistakes but ignored them again. While writing on the third day, I observed a few flaws. I doubted that if I ignored them like earlier, I wouldn't improve. Doubt forced me to fix flaws before publishing. I erased all my thoughts and started from scratch again. I erased and wrote again and again till I got the best out of myself, improving over flaws. I did publish the blog.

Slowly, trying to express myself proved to be consistent effort from me to myself. Writing proved to be the mirror which reflected my flaws and strengths.

Story exists when you live through 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.
