Putting down Your phone, taking off your watch And doing something, anything

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. Don’t track that workout this time; don’t worry it still counts even if you don’t close your rings.
Yes this post is advice for myself as much as it is for others.

trust your body

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 don’t think i need any special tech subscription to tell me im tired or i didn’t 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.

wearing a watch so you don’t have to look at your phone to know what time it is

I would love to get rid of my phone entirely but it doesn’t really feel like an option right now. I try to look at it as little as possible but my sense of time ranges from just accurate enough that I feel confident about it to so wildly inaccurate that I feel like I have to check up on it constantly if I have anything important to do on a given day. As a result I end up spending all day accessible and on social media when all I really want is to not be bothered or subjected to the algorithm. Lorelei was taking the EU to UK ferry earlier this summer and there were mad duty free watches - I realized I should just get one so I was like hey should I buy this watch and the love of my life Al was like you should do research and buy one you want at home instead of impulse buying some random watch on a boat and that was definitely the right call. I bought a weird box of shortbread with King Charles on it for my roommate instead. When I got home I bought a cheap casio watch and it honestly is the best - I always know what time it is and I think I cut my phone time in half.

WII SPORTS

WHY did we stop playing Wii Sports???? Why did technology continue to evolve after the perfect tech was created?? Its as fun (if not more fun) than you remember. It's so SIMPLE yet intuitive and allows you to actually feel present. To play a game without hyperrealistic graphics and unnecessary social aspects is BLISS. Wii Tennis the best thing in the world. I hope they bring it back for sale without modernizing one single thing.

the frank o’hara poem Meditations in an emergency

If you’re a proud New Yorker (or reside in a big city), this poem will probably make you feel seen. One of the reasons that I love city life is all the signs that people aren’t regretting life.
