Sometimes all that matters is to just show up!

I started a blog in June 2021 and planned to write an article every fortnight. But by the end of six months, instead of 12 articles, I was having only five. If you have been struggling to be consistent with any new habit of yours, sometimes all you need to do is Show up.

Starting from Jan 18, 2022, I have daily hit the Publish button and “Tada” I have 8 articles in 8 days!! Can you imagine the boost this could give to your self-confidence?

Writing daily is quite hard ‘Initially’

Everything is hard before it gets easy. Well, technically it doesn’t really become easy. Probably you as an individual become tougher. You learn to come out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Writing forces you to keep away from distraction. It challenges you to communicate your heart’s deepest feelings to someone in a distant place reading this on Twitter or Revue.

Having a steady flow of Ideas definitely helps

In my experience, writing is just the end result of some idea that was always in your head. A good writer is highly likely to be a clear thinker and a person with a lot of ideas and perspectives. As and when you come across any interesting thought, you should be able to make a brief note of it. At some later point, you could elaborate this idea into an article

Show up no matter what happens

The article that you write daily or the answer that you practice need not be the best. When I started this post today, I literally had no ideas on what to write. I thought I would just post a few lines. But the best part of writing is that you can always reflect on your own inability to write and unknowingly you would have written something new

Every Time you do something that you had decided to do, you rise in your own eyes. Every time you don’t do something that you yourself decided to do, you fall in your own eyes.
