I resolved a couple of months ago to strengthen my equanimity, mostly through deepening my meditation practices. #zazen
I am definitely experiencing results. I am recognizing how I used to react to similar circumstances and more often am finding the space to respond in ways and at times I am happier about.
Even more curious, I think I am retrospectively recognizing past experiences that were also progress. At the time, I was unsure what was going on other than it being deeply uncomfortable.
One specific experience of equanimity is I feel like I can hold a looser grip on ideas while working through a technical design. In the past, I rushed to get a grasp on a solution which often wasn't conducive to changing my mind. With hindsight, I also likely missed a lot.
Now I feel a lot more ease adapting to feedback or considerations I missed. I did come up with a rough idea for my current project but didn't attach to it very strongly. Adjusting that idea has been a lot more comfortable.
