I Understood the Difference Between Remembering and Reliving

I had been thinking about what to write for the last few hours. I was worried, what if I couldn't deliver my blog today. I had already done the erase-and-write-again-and-again part. But after rewriting again and again, I wasn't getting a single complete thought to voice. I faced the same thing yesterday too. I faced the same thing a month back. It feels like I am reliving my old moments from the last two days. It was unexpected to feel the same emotion almost a month later.

But all I did was enjoy. I enjoyed every obstacle yesterday and today too. Despite things being absurd, I hadn't lost my calmness. Although yesterday's frustration was a bit heat of the moment for a few seconds.

Remembering keeps a moment fixed the way it happened, but reliving it lets you feel it fresh, with room for something new to surface each time. For the last few days, I used to just recall my experiences, my learnings. I used to remember them while feeling low. I used to motivate myself reading my older blogs. I used to remember learnings whenever there was something new to add to them.

However, for the last few days I had been reliving my memory of being blank. Being blank with thoughts. Being blank with words to voice out. Despite having some incomplete thoughts to express, I wasn't complete with a blog. But I had something to add to my learnings.

Months back, when I felt creative exhaustion, I saw it as a mark to redefine. Yesterday's incident taught me exhaustion demands new challenges. With today's experience, I realized the need to change my approach itself, not just the challenge or the moment, but how I respond in the moment. I enjoy being with three different perspectives about my blankness.

Same challenge, same experience, different days, but with different perspectives. There's something new every day while reliving the moment. Meanwhile, at the same time, remembering the moment again and again limits it to a single perspective. Learnings from the experiences didn't add on but revolved in a loop.

Remembering limits in a loop, reliving gives freedom from 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...
