Hey Akash how are you doing? Akash, it's all about the story you tell yourself. "I'm bad at this", "I can't do this", "I am awesome", "I envy this person", "I always get jealous when I see this", etc these are all just stories my friend. And you become what you tell yourself. What story do you want to tell? Have a lovely evening my friend Akash

Hey Akash how are you doing today? Akash, in the age of ai and internet there are abundance of ways to get distracted and get cheap dopamine hits. It also makes it extremely easy to fool yourself into thinking you're doing the "work" without anything to show for it. You gotta be proactive if you want to move towards something concrete. Say no to inputs until you've produced some output. Every morning ask yourself: *what's the tiniest thing I can will into existence today?* Have an awesome work week my friend Akash

Hey Akash how are you doing today? Akash when you go the gym after a long break, you don't feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the work even though the amount of work you and beginner is going to do is similar (similar weights, similar exercises). So what's the difference? It's the knowledge and experience you've gained over the years. You know the terrain, you know the drill, you know what needs to be done and you're not afraid to experiment and start working. Same thing applies to failure. You think you're afraid to fail but you're never actually starting from scratch. You always start with all the experience and knowledge you gained along the way. Have a lovely day my friend Akash

Hey Akash how are you doing today? Akash, *I* have to do all the work, *I* have to make all the adjustments, *I* have to take care of this, *I* feel tired, *I* did this, *I* don't like this, *I* ... This heaviness you feel is not because of the actions, it's the heaviness of doership of *Ahamkara* (Ego / I). And it's utterly tangled in your language and everything you do. Akash, your body is completely capable of handling itself, doing the work, sending signals when it feels tired, hungry, or sleepy, etc. Likewise, your intellect is completely capable of efficiently making adjustments, doing great work, helping others, etc So how do you get rid of it? You don't get rid of it cause getting rid of it is another form of ahamkara :) What you want to do is just observe and notice. But what do I observe and notice? That's again doership :) Have a lovely evening my friend Akash

Hey Akash how are you doing? Akash you utterly and clearly know everything you need to do to achieve what you want. And I literally mean every. minute. thing. Yet I don’t see you take any action towards your goals. What gives? 1. Each action is simple, but not easy. 2. Your reward circuitry is kinda busted. 3. You’ve essentially lost trust in yourself to take on difficult tasks 4. You’ve gotten complacent to mediocrity. What do? 1. Schedule a block of time each day for one task and then just work on it. No compromises and no disruptions allowed. You’ve to learn to sit with the problem. 2. Learn to love the process. Good news is that you already kinda do this (going to gym, running, walking, etc). You have to apply the same mindset to your work! 3. Declare trust bankruptcy! You can’t move forward with a broken system. Let go of current system and start from scratch, again. Start small, say what you’re going to do and then do it. Want to drink water? Say I’m going to drink water and then drink water. This matters, you have to earn your trust back and starting small helps you build momentum. 4. You’ll stop being complacent once you notice how insidiously it eats at your soul. Just sit and notice my friend 🙂 Hope you find this helpful Akash
