i ditched my apple watch over a year ago bc i just thought it was ugly and considered replacing with an oura ring but tbh i had a baby and the biggest thing i got out of that experience besides the baby was trust in my body. i donāt think i need any special tech subscription to tell me im tired or i didnāt sleep great last night or i should take it easy on my workout today. a quick glance at fb marketplace tells me a lot of others feel the same.

I wore a Fitbit for 12 years, if you can believe it. Flagrantly sharing my bodily data with a tech company who has since been purchased by Google. I know we all carry a phone with us and our cars have trackable GPS. But damn, I want to be less online, less trackable. Why does Google need to know my heart rate (literally how intimate is that)? Also, learning that the recommended 10,000 steps a day was made up by a marketing companyā¦ blew my mind. As long as Iām moving my body and taking good care, I donāt need to track my steps.
I finally kicked the smartwatch from my wrist and am getting excited about the time-telling possibilities. Here are two āinner child healingā options Iāve acquired: a pale pink Baby G from Tokyo and a candy necklace-inspired Swatch.

You, yes you. Put down your phone. Remove all electronics from your person and exist for a moment.
Sing a song. Or jump up and down. Scream. Or go outside and take a deep breath. Pet the damn dog. Feel connected to humanity by disconnecting. The skin where you wear your Apple Watch needs some sun so go outside and get some. Donāt track that workout this time; donāt worry it still counts even if you donāt close your rings.
Yes this post is advice for myself as much as it is for others.

i have two under two and iāve never felt more vulnerable or in love with the world despite the calamities! iāve never had more empathy or patience or compassion for all living things! iām also so tired and hormonal rn so donāt make any rash decisions but so far itās working for me ā
ps. pregnancy and labor and delivery physically went very smoothly for me. i had freaky ppd the first time around but so far this time is just overwhelmingly wonderful?? results may vary.
