This week, I've been mulling over our relationship with health tech.
From Apple Watches to Oura rings—which I both have and love—we're surrounded by data about our bodies.
But here's the thing I've been wondering... are we actually listening to our bodies or just the apps' latest insights?
I've noticed a trend when I talk to my clients and friends about their health tech.
We often stress when our devices tell us we've had a bad night's sleep even if we feel refreshed, or we need to move more even though our body is begging for rest.
Here's where I stand: connect with your body first, then use the data for additional insights.
A daily practice I have as soon as I wake up is to notice how I'm feeling—body sensations, energy level, and mood. One minute max. Then, I go into the app to see what it says. A lot of the time they're aligned, but sometimes they're not.
This simple practice has helped me deepen my interoceptive sensitivity skills, self-trust, and intuition. I listen to my body first. Then, the data.
As I've been doing more and more body-mind mastery work with my clients, I've seen the same from them too. I had a client last week share how developing her ability to connect with and listen to her body, emotions, and intuition has played a huge role in her achieving her accomplishments 💗
Think about that for a minute. The power of being able to access ourselves. To unlock our intuition.
