9 Reasons Brain Poop Prolongs Your Results.
Brain development is of course always a positive action. Starting from a Poop brain is a long, difficult, and almost unattainable road when chasing your goals and ambitions.
Education is the best cure to aggression. Principles like Information in its application changes situations. The problem is having to change and develop the mind to harness and acquire the behaviors and mindsets to a daily lifestyle.
When it comes to writing my brain is literal poop. I wrote down 9 reasons why so that I can identify what the problems are and how to find a solution. After looking at everything I’ve found that these are things everyone knows and in my experience the solutions are easier said than done.
- Procrastination
I don’t know how to avoid this bad habit other than going through the motions of the skill I’m trying to develop. It’s been a couple of days for me to write consistently. These past couple of days my job has actually given me some normal time for myself. My experience with my time is the simple fact that I don’t manage it well. After putting all my focus and energy into working for someone else I find it very difficult to start working for myself. My brain wants to put off this work and before I know it 5pm turns into time for sleep.
2. Lack of Focus
I have the worst experiences focusing on what is important vs what doesn’t matter. My lack of focus causes my story to be unorganized, unreadable, and uninspiring. I’m in the worst struggles writing for 5 minutes on a particular subject and then zoning out for 30.
3. Novice Emotional intellect
My emotions always get the best of me. I have a really bad habit and behavior for blaming others for why I’m not where I’m supposed to be. Whether it’s my job, or this platform or my financial conundrums I get so emotionally frustrated with problems. As a result instead of genuinely developing the skills and comprehending the principles of writing, I start to feel like tnothing is my fault and benefits are owed to me.
4. Lack of Patience
I want instant results but am unwilling to mentally produce or deliver the type of work that demands those results. The best way I can explain is I want to eat cake but I don’t want to take the time to make it. I’ve barely been on medium for a month and haven’t put in the work or networked enough to put anything of value on here. I want the benefits that come from medium without putting in the time that it takes to get there.
5. High amount of excuses
I have every reason in the world to justify with myself as to why I can’t keep writing. I’m too tired, I work too long today, I’m not in the mood, I don’t know what to write about or how to properly write it etc. I’ll push my excuses on myself and then be more upset the next day because I just didn’t get it over with.
6. It sucks to suck
Being horrible at something in the beginning is humbling and frustrating at the same time. I’ve usually been able to start things and catch on quickly but with writing it takes more mental and emotional development than I have available right now. When you aren’t good at something to begin with in my experience it takes an extra amount of mental focus for me to develop.
7. Lack of experience
I don’t know how to write and what to write. I have to spend more and more time reading and pushing other veteran writers content on here because I’m unable to actually provide or produce any valuable content worth reading.
8. Wanting to be at the finish line
Many people including myself want to see the house when it’s built, they don’t actually want to build the house. Writing is a marathon. I’m trying to give this a legit 9 month to 11 month commitment. I’m barley a month in and I’m frustrated, upset and impatient with myself.
9. Weak consistency
Developing a habit out of something you aren’t good at or don’t regularly do is difficult to say the least. I want to write and I know I want to be very proficient and effective at it for myself and the reader. I joined the Zulie Rane challenge to write every day of November. I’m unable to hold water to that challenge and these are the list of reasons why. I take full responsibility of my actions and hope through experiences like this things will get better.
Final thoughts?
From the articles and stories that I’ve read on medium it usually takes 100 to 200 written pieces to actually get better at it. I aim to stick around and hopefully laugh about how dreadful and cringe my writing was at the time. If anyone did end up reading this I appreciate you and hope to read and see you further down the road.
