It's so ironic to me that the current trend is "slowing down" and becoming "analog" yet people are still hyper-aware of the numbers. We're walking contradictions -- the pressure to slow down or to live well actually stops us from doing it!!
I absolutely needed to read this today! In fact, I was just surmising the fact that I won’t have ‘gotten my steps in’ today right before I opened your essay. We are beholden to too many rules and data and other things these days – sometimes you just need to lean into how you feel. (Today I feel tired, but I’ve had a productive day at work and can’t wait for a quiet night on the sofa. Forgive me, Fitbit, for letting the steps slide!)
We are definitely prisoners to our Fitbits nowadays!! Only a couple of days ago I was annoyed at myself for not moving more, forgetting I’d gone on an enormous trek the day before 🤦♀️

Honestly couldn’t agree more!! I’m desperate to live at a slower pace yet constantly feel like I’m being pulled in all directions
