Overcoming Writer's Block: A Personal Story of Growth and Patience

I am not getting anything. Today, I didn't have anything complete to voice out. A few times I tried writing but wasn't able to complete it. I wrote a paragraph, deleted it. I did the same five to six times. But I wasn't getting what I wanted to voice. Although I always had something, I didn't have anything complete today at that moment.

Waited. Waited for a few more hours. But frustration finally gave me something to write about. Before starting the blog, I yelled at myself, why does blankness always happen to me? Later on, I found out that this was something I had been trying to voice out for the last few hours.

Despite having wonderful memories, beautiful learnings, I questioned myself. I was curious to know why it happened again today. A few days back, I felt the same blankness. Although I completed that day's blog writing with a few of my incomplete notions. I wrote them as every thought matters, whose learnings I realised in later blogs.

However, today I wasn't going to force myself to keep pushing thoughts out. I got my clarity in the last moment of being frustrated. As I had a belief, exhaustion demands new challenges, new definitions. So, here I am.

With all the incidents, I was clear with a few of my prior learnings. Not everything remains the same, it changes. I experienced the same blankness I experienced almost a month back. But I didn't react, I responded. I didn't fear the delay of the blog. I didn't even write my notions impatiently. Waited for a few hours. Tried noticing my pattern to delete and write again and again. Got frustrated for a few minutes. Got calm as soon as I was ready to write out myself.

I experienced change over the months. A minute one, but I accept it.

Before, I used to compare myself with others. I had noticed others change vastly. I used to compare myself. Today, I realised when actions are taken on our own, changes aren't noticed easily. They're felt only when an obstacle tests you.

Writing is way better than a mirror. It didn't just reflect the mistakes and improvement. It helps you change by comparing oneself with self.

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...
