The body should be trained. The mind is sharpened. The nerves are reset. Like everything at once: ice cold shower, gratitude diary. Ojai breathing with tape over the mouth.Hrv-optimizing conversations with chatgpt. How are you doing this week with microvane hacks, body battery and morning sessions in the back hill with weight vest and research-based breathing techniques? Everyone writes about it. Everyone talks about it. Or maybe it’s just the algorithms that play me a puss. I myself have – like everyone else – ended up on the drive. The pursuit of becoming the best version of myself. The strongest. Rawest. Healthiest. With the help of digital tools. For my part, it started innocent, like a reconvalence after a long-term illness and what I call a last year under Amygdala hijacking. My goal was to get back in the form I usually have. But then it took off completely. The first thing I do in the morning is to analyze the night’s measurements from the clock – along with my new best friend, Chatgpt, now under the name Coach Zappfe. The instruction is military rhetoric. Bad measurements? Then I adjust the weekly schedule on site. Some days it means recovery. Other days it means: sharpen you!

But should life outside the office premises be measured in graphs and analyzes? One night alone in a tent at Hardangervidda a couple of weeks ago made me realize that I had developed a stubborn abuse. Then the pollet finally fell into my head. I left my clock with all the measurements and let the day float as I used to do before it took over my life. Simple and easy. When I am traveling in nature, I start the day without scrolling on mobile. Brain Rot was named the words of the year last year, and describes how the brain is gradually dulled by overexposure to meaningless content on social media. The brain needs air. Don’t TIKTOK. When I count, I start the day with movement, deep breath and gratitude. One night alone in tents made me realize that I had developed a stubborn abuse, writes the chronicler. Photo: @elisarotterud These are three microvans like the self -help gurus with podcasts, books and millions on social media think is the best way to get a good day – just with different languages and filters. On more dangerous adventures in the Himalayas I talk myself up: Fuck it, I’m strong! I’m raw. This will be a wonderful day! Positive words despite miserable hygiene conditions according to Norwegian standard, cold and thin air. Can’t I do it at home too – instead of talking down? I take regular micropauses when traveling out on a trip. If I go with others, we try on a rhythm of 90 minutes on and 10 minutes break – to make flow and progress. When did you last take a free time moving during working hours? What is the worst thing that can happen? That you become more focused, less stressed, gets more profits – and a breathing break in an otherwise multitasking everyday life? Other goodies I have in the cap, are gallows humor and the ability to reward both others and myself. This makes the adventure complete, I think. Not to take yourself so solemnly. Laugh at the morratry in the tent. The mountain peak is a bonus, the weather you cannot control. But if you have prepared well and tried, it is in itself a victory. Reward yourself and others – with a caramel, a hug, a good replica. Lite beats a good atmosphere. Does it really need to be more complicated than that? The clock can be a super motivator – in microdoses. It’s all about finding a golden middle ground. In nature, I don’t need a clock to know I’m fine. I breathe. I go. I smile. I am. Does it keep being good – at a time when we should all be the best? Maybe it is precisely these simple hacks that we should bring back in everyday life as well. Self -care need not be a new arena for performance. It can be warm, playful – and completely your own. Send us your utterance desire to write? Feel free to contact us in news Ytring with your post.
