Heys
Heys is a collection of my letters I send to myself. It's a way for me to step out of me and reflect on me, and life.
Hey Akash how are you doing today?
Akash I feel like sometimes you get so caught up in the noise of what *you* want to do that you aren’t able to listen to what the universe wants to do, through you. And you can only listen if you be quiet for a minute, with equanimity.
Shhh, what’s the universe trying to tell you?
Thanks, and have a lovely evening my deer friend

Hey Akash how are you doing today?
Akash, you keep saying to yourself that your inaction is due to a lack of energy but what if you’re wrong? What if it’s the other way around? What if you lack energy because you aren’t taking any action?
I think you don’t have to think too much (yes I see the irony there lol). You need to stop thinking and start doing. Anything. And I mean literally anything. Action produces information, you can use that information to propel you forwards but you gotta start.
Just do it.
Thanks, and have a lovely evening!

Hey Akash, how are you doing today?
I was just looking at these houses while walking back from gym and I notice that every house has a boundary (duh). This physical boundary is governed by the laws, but there’s also an emotional boundary. You viscerally feel it when you’re inside the house vs outside.
This made me realize, we’ve so many other emotional boundaries. We love them cause it gives us a sense of space, comfort and certainty. They’re awesome. However, they can also be very limiting, and be the source of your unhappiness. So every once in a while make a conscious effort to check what boundaries you’ve set up for yourself and are they really helping your or limiting you.
What assumptions have you made lately about what’s possible or not?
Have a lovely evening my friend

Hey Akash how are you doing?
Akash you've got to learn to distinguish between what's important and what's urgent. Remember, the urgent can wait—always prioritize what's truly important. There are so many things competing for your attention, and if you don't learn to say no, you might miss out on things that matter most to you.
Whenever you're about to commit your time or energy, pause and ask yourself: is this important?
Have a lovely evening my friend

Hey Akash how are you doing today?
Akash, it's sometimes hard to see how much more damaging the consequences of anger can be compared to its causes. It often leads to pain for you and others, and the outcome is rarely positive.
I know you understand this, but it can be difficult to remember in the moment. That's okay-it's a skill to develop, and I believe in your ability to grow and build tools to manage it effectively.
In the meantime, I encourage you to imprint this thought in your mind: anger rarely leads to the outcome you truly desire.
Thanks, and have a beautiful day

Akash, when it's dusk and you look at the sky you only see a handful of stars but you intuitively know that there are other stars in the sky too and you'll start seeing them as the night progresses. Does that mean they were shining less bright before? Off course we both know that's not the case, for you personally, they were shining as bright as on the day you were born and will continue to shine that way on the day you die. They'll objectively and really shine constantly throughout your lifetime. It's just that when there's a light pollution you can't see them.
Similarly in your life, there are things and people in your life that objectively and really shine as bright as they can for you, remember that when things seem hazy in the moment and you seem to be losing touch with reality, hold on to your constants!
Have a lovely evening my friend

Akash, you don't have to wait for inspiration, just by doing the mundane physical act of sitting down and starting the work you set in motion a mysterious but infallible sequence of events that would produce inspiration.
Shut up, sit down and start the work. Chop wood, carry water.
Hope you sit down and do the work my friend

Hey Akash how are you doing today?
Akash to be successful you don't have to set yourself up for success, rather you've to be careful not to set yourself up for failure.
You do that a lot by overpromising. No you're not going to be able to do this consistently for the 7 days, or a month or whatever. Your present you is trying to relish on the future glory but that glory has not been achieved yet. Usually this is fine when you need some motivation but a lot of the times the present you does not want to do the work, it just relishes in this potential glory.
Just focus on getting today's work done and let the future you take care of himself!
Thanks, have a lovely day my friend

Hey Akash how are you doing?
Akash it might seem counter intuitive but you need to be more introspective, not less. Ironically, Introspection is what allows you to be more present, to think less about you.
I want you to create a routine for yourself, a daily 5 minute journal. You can talk about anything you like, what's important is the act of sitting down and writing :)
Can you do that for me?
Have a lovely day my friend

Hey Akash how are you doing today?
Akash January is always the hardest month for you simply because you feel guilty for not doing enough in the last year and try to compensate for it by taking on a lot of things for the next year, which kinda sets you up for failure again. Problem is, you set these lofty goals and then you have no clue on how to go from point A to point B. So you just don't do shit. What you need to learn is to break it down into tiny insignificant tasks you can do every day. You want small wins every day. Go do something tiny toward your goal!
What small thing will you do today towards your goal?
Thanks and have a lovely evening
Akash
