Anxiety, Doubt & Control | Adrian’s Journal #200904

It is the time of anxiety again, because I have a class to conduct this weekend.

Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths. – C. H. Spurgeon

Yes, I know I am unmotivated to do anything else and just worry about tomorrow.

Fear and anxiety many times indicates that we are moving in a positive direction, out of the safe confines of our comfort zone, and in the direction of our true purpose. – Charles F. Glassman

Exactly, that’s what I thought I am feeling. I am actually extremely excited about something big that is about to happen.

Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. – Corrie Ten Boom

Two days? Wrong! The anxiety started on Monday. So that makes FIVE days of worry.

Temperamentally anxious people can have a hard time staying motivated, period, because their intense focus on their worries distracts them from their goals. – Winifred Gallagher

Wait a minute! What if my worries are my goals. In fact, they are. The bigger goals actually.

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it. – Kahlil Gibran

Finally, someone is speaking sense, because I want control. I want participants to get the best out of my training.

In my experience, the words “now just calm down” almost inevitably have the opposite effect on the person you are speaking to. – Elyn R. Saks

Tell me to calm down? Meditate? Watch TV? Play a game? Sleep? They all don’t work on me during anxiety, I’m sorry.

The more honest you are, the more open, the less fear you will have, because there’s no anxiety about being exposed or revealed to others. – Dalai Lama

Now, this is an actionable gem! My main worry is not being able to answer every question in class. So be honest, if I don’t know something, just say I don’t know… And of course, follow up later with research.

THANK YOU, wise gurus! I feel so much better now. Not that my anxiety is gone, but that I know I am in control.

So, how are my goals progressing?

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...
