Taking One Thing at a Time Changed the Way I Express Myself

One more day. One more experience. One more mistake. One more learning. All things one by one. Writing isn't that easy which I used to think of before even starting to write something. Multiple thoughts, multiple notions, and carrying forward with one isn't easy. I realised it when I experienced it on the very first day. Even choosing words for certain thoughts isn't easy. If not chosen correctly, it changes the meaning of the thoughts.

While writing out myself every day, I think to be correct every time. A few months back, I learned my mistakes. I learned what I was doing wrong through a moment. A moment that changed the way I think about my mistakes, about the learnings.

While writing a blog on the topic of discipline, a word, "consistent," was constantly troubling me while voicing out words. I accept discipline and consistency are aligned with each other, but they aren't the same. However, I couldn't differentiate at the very start of this writing journey. Whenever I started a paragraph, consistency went side by side. Multiple thoughts made way to chaos for me. I got stuck within a loop of two notions.

An hour passed. Two hours passed. After seeing the blog incomplete for hours, I decided to sit calmly once and would write a few minutes later.

"Okay, let's skip the consistency part." These were a few of the exact words I told myself. Saying this, I collected all my notions over discipline and started writing them. No extra word, no extra idea; just one topic- discipline. That's it. Completed writing my blog, pushing back the chaos. Though, I wrote about consistency the next day.

This moment made me learn a momentous learning of this journey. Taking one thing at a time. Either it's thoughts, mistakes, or learning; it doesn't matter.

One thought at a time. One blog at a time. Don't overthink.

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...
