Perhaps you, like me have a Fitbit which records your steps, sleep, weight, heart rate and calorie intake. I also use the Fitness Pal app to record my food intake and my Kakebo (a Japanese workbook) to record my daily expenditure.
On top of this, I have my work outlook calendar and our daily family planner 🗓.
All these “tools” are supposed to organise our lives, bring awareness to the choices we are making and ideally encourage a simplified life.
However, on holiday last week, I had my Fitbit and nothing else and it was quite liberating. I felt freer and began to wonder why I was measuring or recording everything that I did or had to do 💭.
Had my life become a bureaucratic “to do” list when I had intended to bring more awareness and simplicity to my life?
I have ditched the food app and have yet to gain weight 😆. I believe that a period of quiet reflection or meditation each day would be a good substitution for all the apps and recording though I still love my Fitbit,
