Hello Friends, The person you are, or rather the person you believe yourself to be, only exists because of the evidence you have collected. They exist because of the programming, beliefs, thoughts, patterns, coping mechanisms, and cycles that have become the evidence you use to support the person you believe you are. "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." — Aristotle The process of healing, self-actualization, or evolution is about creating and collecting new evidence that supports the identity of the person you want to be. Even as that evidence occurs, our subconscious mind negates it. Tells us that it is a fluke, hands us impostor syndrome on a silver platter, and has us return to our place, crushed under the weight of our ambition. Most people wait until they have a new identity to collect evidence of it, but this is not the same dilemma as the chicken and the egg. There will never be a new identity without the evidence of it first. Collecting evidence is not something new you need to learn. You have been doing it unconsciously your whole life. That is why you are who you believe yourself to be. The only thing you must change is taking the evidence collection OFF autopilot. This is how we begin the process of reclaiming and reprogramming our subconscious. It is a manual process at first, where imposter syndrome runs wild and your ego digs its heels in, telling you that you are faking it, until you make it. You have always been faking it. You feel like an impostor because you are an impostor, but the shift is… You have always BEEN an impostor. You just got so used to playing the role (and playing it well) that you forgot you've been faking it your whole life. You have the evidence to support the impostor. Now it is time to collect new evidence… here is what that looks like. Collecting Evidence Exercise"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." — James Clear, author of Atomic Habits I want you to take a piece of paper and on one side of the paper write [Your Name] 2.0 (You can also use a nickname, for example, I went from Gregory to Grisha. Grisha was my evolution) I want you to list 3-5 qualities of yourself you would like to have, things you would like to do, or the person you want to be. Don't make this such a long list where you overwhelm yourself. Make it actionable and within your reach, not some vague, far-off goal. Write them as if you already are or already do these things. Here are some examples:
You purposefully want to make these easy and obtainable. Don't focus on the outcome right now, we don't care if we lose weight, gain followers, become enlightened, or achieve our hopes and wildest dreams. All we care about right now is collecting evidence. Flip the paper over. On this side, I want you to write the date for a week So, from May 6th until May 13th, followed by Evidence Collected Leave this sheet on your desk, by your bed, anywhere it is constantly and consistently visible. At the end of each day, I want you to start a ritual, 10-15 minutes sitting in front of this paper and reflecting on what evidence you collected that supports your new identity. Why This Works and What To AvoidDo not use this as another way to shame yourself for not stepping up. You are running an experiment, and in an experiment, anything that goes wrong is data collected. Data collected further informs research and is not against a desired outcome, but a redirection towards it. Simply notice. Notice the patterns, the energy of new vs. old evidence, and your subconscious programming fighting back. Start looking at everything as evidence. The things you used to be ashamed of that you believed made you unlovable, unworthy, and useless. It is just evidence of a version of you that you are outgrowing, that no longer exists, and that never truly existed or was you. The things that bring you pride, joy, a sense of accomplishment, that you look at your list and write down how you supported this new identity today… Evidence of your new self. The Bucket Of Self-WorthSelf-efficacy is your belief in your ability to execute actions to achieve specific goals or handle situations. Your self-worth is directly connected to your self-efficacy, and every time you collect evidence that supports this new version of you… You increase your self-efficacy, which increases your self-worth, which increases your conviction in this new version of yourself. This is the journey of learning to trust yourself. Our self-trust goes up when we do what we need to do and avoid doing what we know harms us. The more self-trust and conviction you have, the more you can tap into your inner knowing. Tap into and exist from your intuition, a powerful frequency that empowers your desired reality and inevitably leads to its materialization. This is the essence of alchemy. Let me know what evidence you plan to collect this upcoming week. I respond to every email. Best of luck to you on your journey, my friend. With from and for Love, Grisha P.S.

Hey Friend In this week's letter, I want to share something personal with you a journey through resistance that might feel familiar to your own path. The Dreams We Hide From I often found myself wondering why I chose this life path, or at least, why I'm walking it right now. As a kid who wanted to be seen so badly, I hated myself for that very desire. I learned early that unhealed childhood wounds don't disappear; they just lurk beneath the surface, causing us to limp through life instead of...
Hey Friends! Have you ever felt like there's so much you want to do, so many ideas swimming in your head— and then you sit down at your computer and... nothing happens? Your brain suddenly goes blank. Or worse, it floods with questions : "Which project should I tackle first ?" "Is this even the right thing to focus on?" "What if I spend hours on this and it doesn't work?" Before you know it, 30 minutes have passed while you've been staring at your screen, paralyzed by a decision, scrolling...
Hello Friend The quantum physicist John Wheeler once said that "no phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon." The very act of observation fundamentally changes what we're observing. Scientists discovered this when studying subatomic particles—they behave differently when watched versus when unwatched. But this isn't just some abstract scientific principle. It's the hidden mechanism behind everything you're experiencing in your reality right now. Your consciousness is...
