The Value of Equanimity
Taking the judgment out of life
Day 27-August 4, 2021-Moving Forward
Note: Written on 8.5.21 regarding Day 27, 8.4.21
Yesterday was supposed to be writing via audio-recording, which I did as I walked from the beach to the studio, but when I tried to transcribe it, I freaked. It was practically unintelligible!
I went into a tailspin because I’ve done several recordings that I haven’t yet transcribed, and I feared all of them would be garbage. Immediately I went online to find noise reducing software to recover my thoughts, which wound up a trip down the rabbit hole.
By the time I made myself stop, I was dizzy with anxiety and needed attitude adjustment before my neighbor joined me for a dinner. I was supposed to cook, and I can’t cook, be creative, when I’m stressing.

I was near to pulling my hair out and was shutting the whole computer down when somehow the program appeared, and I managed to piece together two of the three minutes of recording from yesterday’s walk.
