Thank you for this thoughtful article. For all those who use a ring or a watch type wearable to tell you how you feel please take it off and learn to listen to your body. Ask it questions. Feel right now your butt on the chair, your feet on the floor, the slight wind from the fan. Stop right now and listen. What do you hear around you. Look up from the screen and survey your surroundings. Make a concerted effort to not use GPS. go outside and see where the light and shadow are coming from. With practice you could find your self in any location and know north, east, south, west. Look at a map and at least know the general direction you are going. Above all observe your thoughts. Live a lucid life.

An uncomfortable mirror, indeed. Loved your post, Joshua, albeit I skimmed through the end bit as my smart watch told me to stand up. Oh well, I’ll re-read it proper when my tracker thinks I’ve gone to sleep :-)
