Stop Watching the News | The Conscious Creator Letter


Hi! Himu from withhimanshu.com.

Here are 1 idea, 2 updates, and 3 resources for Conscious Creators... for You.

One Idea: Stop Reading the News


When was the last time reading the news actually made you wiser?

Not more informed—wiser.

We scroll through headlines hoping to feel smart. But real insight doesn’t come from reacting to surface-level chaos. It comes from stillness, from watching the long arc of truth, not its daily contortions.

Today’s news is a performance, not a pursuit of understanding.
Its actors are paid in clicks.
Its plots are engineered for emotion.
Its value? Almost always negative.

The news doesn’t inform. It conditions.

It conditions us to chase dopamine instead of depth.
To confuse urgency with importance.
To react without thinking.

The result?
A mind full of facts but empty of clarity.
A soul wired for anxiety but disconnected from meaning.

Here’s what they won’t tell you:

  • Speed kills context. When the goal is “first,” truth comes second.
  • News sells attention, not accuracy. Your fear is their revenue.
  • Narratives rule over nuance. Complexity is crushed to fit an agenda.
  • Silence is suspicious. What’s not covered is often more important than what is.

And the worst part?
We start mistaking noise for knowledge.
We form “opinions” that aren’t really ours.


We spend hours reading, but can’t remember anything that changed us.

The tragedy of watching the news isn’t that it wastes time—
It wastes your ability to think for yourself.

So what’s the alternative?

  • Study books instead of breaking stories.
  • Listen to thinkers, not headlines.
  • Or perhaps take a 3-hour break today and try to do something outside.

Ask: Will this still matter in a year? If not, don’t give it your mind today.

This is the path of the Conscious Creator.


You don’t need more content—you need clearer filters.


2 New Updates

Update #01: I have launched The Creator Circle:

A serene online space for Conscious Creators to grow together.

If you are struggling to kickstart your content creation and need some accountability, jump in. It's free for 7 days and just $49 per month afterwards. For less than the cost of a cup of coffee per day, you will have access to a safe and supportive place to grow.

Update #02: I am building ENERGI (pronounce energy)

An energy exchange app that lets you trade your services with other coaches and creators. You earn and spend Energy Points and grow your network.

I found it extremely hard to get clients without testimonials when I started my business. Energi helps you build that initial traction to kickstart your coaching and service business.

I will share the updates later on. Working on some final touches.

#03 Resources for Conscious Creators

  1. Descript: AI-powered video editor and recorder that will save you 7-8 hours if you want to create videos. It lets you edit videos like a Word document. Really cool.
  2. NotebookLM: This incredible AI tool allows you to talk to your documents, YouTube videos, and whatnot. You can take notes and convert them into a live podcast. Very useful.
  3. Little Prince from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: I found a copy of The Little Prince while talking to a Hungarian girl in a hippie café tucked away in the mountains of Bali. It’s a children’s book written for adults—quiet, poetic, and piercingly true. Every page reminds you what matters once you strip away the noise. If you’ve forgotten how to see with the heart, read it. Slowly.

This is it for today!

Will talk soon.
