I have been programming since I was 12 (born in '73 #genx), currently enjoy coding in #Rust. I use Linux every day; I prefer open to closed. I try to live and let live when it comes to people's tech choices.

I work in tech but am learning how better to separate that from my passion for programming.

I used to podcast, I plan to again soon.

I practice #zazen, #qigong, and #taichi every day.

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

My cerebral weather was a little rougher this morning. My equanimity saw me through and I will spend some more time on and off the stool processing.

I have some preparation for a three day $dayjob planning summit at our HQ in DC that starts tomorrow. Otherwise I expect the day to be quiet as most of my colleagues are traveling.

The effect of a longer sit makes a certain sense. I already feel something like a refresh or recharge after each session. It is almost like adding momentum to spin back up a flywheel. There is an increase in energy, for lack of a better word.

I guess why it hadn't occurred to me to extend any specific session is that the relationship between my meditation and equanimity has not been this direct. My experience of equanimity only shifted after a year and a half of daily practice.

I had a pretty good day .

I enjoyed meeting so many of my new coworkers in person. My social anxiety was present but manageable. I did not have time for a full sit this afternoon but was able to sneak in a round of qi gong that was almost as helpful.

The dinner and social outing after was more enjoyable than past similar activities thanks to my new, deeper equanimity.

I started today with a longer sit to meditate.

I think that really helped me get through a lot of challenges like my anxiety about crowds that the metro almost always triggers and the social anxiety that arose from meeting so many new to me coworkers.

I think I will have another long sit before bedtime and then again first thing tomorrow. I really enjoyed how it supercharged my equanimity today.

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

I am on the DC metro for the first time in over a year . I am working in office for a few days for $dayjob. I feel a little anxious but managing not to attach to it thanks to a longer than usual sit this morning.

There is nothing better after a long work day than a plate of home cooked food and joining an in progress rewatch of Disenchantment. Lunch and dinner were light buffets with a single option I could eat, though both were excellent.

Time was at a premium. The work agenda for the event was the priority at lunch, actual team building and genuine socializing was the priority at dinner.

Too bad I have to be up early to do it all again tomorrow. It is already past my usual bedtime.
