Trust Yourself: Ditching Gadgets for Inner Peace
Episode Overview
Tracking can lead to increased anxiety rather than peace. Healing involves trusting your own intuition over external gadgets. Structure is important but should not lead to dependency. Rebuilding self-trust is key in trauma recovery. Challenge yourself to stop tracking and tune into your body's signals.
"We lose touch with our instincts and ourselves when we rely on outside technology to tell us what we need to know."
In this episode of "Till The Wheels Fall Off", Paige Robinson takes centre stage with a heartfelt discussion on the potential pitfalls of self-monitoring. As someone who's ditched her Apple Watch, Paige candidly shares how tracking sleep, meals, and workouts can sometimes morph from a helpful habit into a source of anxiety. This episode shines a light on how gadgets, while seemingly offering control, can actually distance us from our natural instincts.
Paige's story is relatable for anyone grappling with the balance between structure and spontaneity. She argues that healing from trauma isn't about perfect control or relying on gadgets; it's about rebuilding trust within ourselves and tuning into our own intuition. Through anecdotes and gentle humour, Paige invites you to consider whether the constant need to optimise everything might be pulling you away from truly feeling and experiencing life.
Her challenge to listeners is simple yet profound: for one week, stop tracking something you usually monitor and see what happens when you listen to your body instead. This episode is a breath of fresh air for those feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to track every aspect of their lives. By the end, you'll be inspired to put down the gadgets and trust yourself more. So, are you ready to tune back into your inner wisdom?
