I've noticed something and I'm curious if you have too... Is it just me or is everyone wearing a tracking device these days? Yes, wearables have a definite upside. They can help you stay accountable, increase gains, and record way more data than we can manually. BUT have we switched out the reward of happy hormones and flow for better metrics?
Today I sat down with Phil White, to talk about his new book Unplugged: Evolve From Technology to Upgrade Your Fitness, Performance & Consciousness and how we can come back to training our instincts instead of solely relying on our devices.
Phil White is an Emmy-nominated writer and the co-author of Unplugged with Brian Mackenzie and Dr. Andy Galpin, Game Changer with Dr. Fergus Connolly and Jim Harbaugh and Flight Plan with Dr. Kelly Starrett. He's also a frequenter contributor to The Inertia and SUP Magazine.
There is a lot in here. Before I made the connection between feeling overwhelmed and an excess in obsession over metrics, I didn't really know consciously that I had traded out some of the natural benefits of fitness and progress for better looking stats. At the very least, I hope this show inspires you to view your fitness tracking and health stats as more of a tool instead of a metric of success.

There's no doubt that the mindful use of language can be soothing for our emotional state and those we speak with. My guest today began to synthesize her system of Conscious Communications with one major goal at her collection agency... to have the person on the other end of the phone happier.
