Several years ago - PetaPixel had an article based on a picture of a crowd that went viral. The reason it went viral was almost everyone in the shot had mobile phones in their hands except one older lady. She seemed perfectly content simply enjoying the moment and living in the now - rather than attempting to digitally capture the moment. I've included a link to the post in the Episode Description if you'd like to see it.
PetaPixel | Woman Spotted Without Phone Camera Out, Is Now an Internet Sensation
Every couple of years - we visit Hocking Hills State Park. As the name implies - it's a very hilly area of Ohio and cell coverage can be spotty at best. If you're looking to get off the grid and relax for a few days - it's an ideal place to stay because it forces you to live in the now without all the gadgets.
I bring all this up because something out of the ordinary happened to me yesterday. I arrived at the gym and realized I didn't have my watch. This isn't important because of time (I DO know how to read a clock) - but because I wasn't going to be able to track my workout. After all - if you don't track it, it didn't happen. Right? In case you didn't catch it - I'm absolutely being sarcastic. However, I DID entertain the idea of turning around and getting it. Then I come to my senses and realized I'm working on ME - not a log of workouts. Sure - my steps and circles wouldn't be closed for the day, but I'd still have the satisfaction of knowing I'd put in the work.
I scratch my head when I see people doing something nice and documenting it. Primarily because A LOT of them are staged, but mainly because it takes away from why you're doing it in the first place. And although recording and posting workouts aren't the same - they both straddle the "LOOK AT ME!" line.
Keeping the "Market YOU First" concept in mind - don't be afraid to live in the now and do things that only you know about. Believe me - there's NO lack of information being logged in out there. If you miss a moment on the grid - the world WILL continue to spin!
