How to Lead a More Mindful Life
Thank you, Spire for sponsoring this post. Discover calm and live a more mindful life by checking out the Spire Mindfulness + Activity Tracker, available in Apple Retail stores nationwide and online here.
Between work, family, friends and whatever else you sign yourself up for, life can get overwhelming. And it’s easy to get caught up in the hectic-ness of life. With Spire Mindfulness + Activity Tracker, it helps me pay more attention to my body and my breathing. You can wear it on your waist or on your bra plus it stays charged for a week.
Besides tracking steps, active minutes, calories burned and sedimentary minutes, Spire Fitness Tracker also tracks your streaks of calm, focus and tense minutes. To see all this information, you just have to download the Spire app. A cool feature is that if you have a streak of tense minutes, the Spire wearable tracker will vibrate and remind you to take a few deep breathes. Spire’s platform learns how to anticipate stressful events before they are likely to happen and alert users with actionable insights on how to prepare and experience more calm in their life. There are also breathing and meditation tutorials to help you on the app.
Since wearing the Spire wearable tracker, I have paid more attention to my mindfulness. Whenever it vibrates, I usually check my phone to see what kind of moment I was having so I know the state of my body. It’s interesting to see your moments of calm, focus or tense and what can trigger those streaks. Spire can also integrate with your calendar so you can go back and look at your moments and see what you were doing or even where you were – how crazy!
Spire Fitness Tracker has motivated me to attend yoga and meditation classes more frequently and really concentrate on my breathing. I don’t think I realized how much breathing and keeping a centered body can help you be more mindful in life (yes, this is a sponsored post but I really feel strongly about how Spire impacted my life in a few weeks).
Reading is another way I de-stress and take a breather. It’s important to find a hobby or something that you enjoy doing and let’s say “escape from reality” and be mindful. Plus lavender, always lavender to help you relax.
Being mindful isn’t always easy and it’s something you have to focus on. Spire Fitness Tracker can help you with that by acting as your “trainer” for mindfulness. Here’s a screenshot of my activity and moments over a week period (plus you can get a glimpse of how the app looks):
