Q: I started doing audio journals, to remove some of the barriers of traditional note-taking, and so far it is pretty good, except that when I turn that mic on for some reason by brain kind of goes blank, and it seems that when this happens I am not really capturing the internal dialogue. It is almost like some kind of stage fright. Ever encountered that? Ideas on overcoming, or is it just one of those things that need to be pushed through?
A: you just have to get used to it. be open about the horrendous reality that you are talking to a recording. you have to understand the audacity that may have brought your life to this point. and embrace it. for the first few days you will want to introduce it as such, 'welcome back to i am a creepy no-one loser who talks to themself.' i think that will make everyone feel more comfortable. and eventually you won't need to do that anymore
