Oura Ring 4 - Worth It?

[Salvijus]

I guess I could summerize my philosophy into this. 

You say this will help you to be healthier. But constantly tracking the parameters of your body is the unhealthy attitude.

It's when you forget about the body and you forget about yourself that you find joy and that is when your body functions at its peak.

@shree I own a remarkable one and use it all the time. I’ve had it for 5 years. All my qigong routines are filmed with it as I write my routines on it. I also use it to contemplate and as a distraction free contemplation. 
 

I love my remarkable. I want the remarkable 2, but my remarkable 1 works just fine. It all goes on the cloud so I’m probably gonna use it until the wheels fall off.

@Salvijus I disagree. If you wanna wing your health that is fine. I am extremely joyful and I love self improvement. 
 

We all have different value systems. I definitely respect a more casual and natural approach to living. 
 

I am extremely ambitious and want to grow my health and productivity to a super human level.

You'd be healthier without the ring than with it is the whole paradox. Not that checking your parameters is not useful once in a while. But this form of constant monitoring is counter productive, for reasons that are subtle and hard to explain. Or I'm just lazy to go into details of it. But nvm, everything is fine in the end.

@shree 8 days! Takes about 80 minutes to charge.

Measuring your weight don’t make you fatter. Using a gps don’t make you more lost. Using a budget don’t make you more broke. Come on now…

Living in constant worry about your weight is unhealthy in a different kind of way.

Doctor Mike isn’t a fan of health tracking devices in general. Even my own doctor isn’t a fan since they aren’t medically accurate.

 

These doctors have their own bias, of course. At the end of the day, do what works for you.

That moment when you ask about a tech product and get a philosophical rant about why monitoring your health is bad and what you should prioritize in life... enough of this forum for today.

You're welcome

@Salvijus You are projecting on me a negative s motivation scheme. 
 

But, checking your weight with honest intention is important.

Calling it negative is your projection. You could simply see it as an alternative view point that arguably makes sense. 

Edited October 11 by Salvijus

@Salvijus Negative Motivation is motivation that is avoiding pain, or motivation based in fear, guilt, worry etc. 
 

I don’t need to worry because I’ll have the data. I will apply Peter Ralston’s principles of effective interaction. Being able to face truth, through data and measurement is a healthy and mature approach. 
 

That’s not my approach. I am recognizing that sleep, stress, etc are fundamental for being happy and healthy. And living a long healthy life. And being able to be at peak performance. I enjoy self help and personal growth which is why I am on the forum.

Bruh. Worrying about body parameters every second is a fear based motivation. That's not how Joy lives life.

@Salvijus That’s not what I am doing. I’m no longer responding to you because you aren’t hearing me.
