How to part ways with your wearables? I went from Apple Watch to Garmin and found myself recently looking at the Oura ring… why are we so obsessed with tracking!? Looking to part ways and to make peace 🫣 but how!

A “dumb” watch: As a recovering d1 athlete, I’ve been through the gamut of wearables. Going back to my roots and having an old school plain digital watch has scratched the itch to track those pesky metrics. I’ve also found giving myself permission to lean into “fun” movement as exercise has really helped. A walk with a friend instead of a 20 minute treadmill incline, a bike ride with my husband instead of a spin class— healthy movement shows up in so many other ways than what we sometimes fixedly deem as “acceptable”.
