The 30 Pictures 30 Stories Challenge - Day 30 - Smartwatch

Day 30 - Smartwatch

I got inspired by the "30 day not-so ordinary ordinary items challenge" but as I love giving things a personal twist, I decided to change the format a bit for myself so it suits me better. I've adjusted it to the 30 pictures - 30 stories challenge. But some days you will see that I also use not-so ordinary ordinary objects.

Feel free to join the challenge at any time if you like.

Publish one picture a day during 30 days and write a story about that picture. This can be anything, any object in the home, a person, scenery or a pet. I'm going to share a diversity of pictures and challenge myself to step outside of the box.

We're here! Day 30 of the 30 pictures, 30 stories challenge, woop! I'm a bit sad that I didn't complete 30 days of posts in a row for the hivebuzz badge, but that's fine, I will continue daily postings for a while longer to grab one of these soon..

I have learned a lot during these 30 days, I was a bit worried that I'd get fed up or out of inspiration, while in reality, the inspiration actually grew and the determination to work ahead for several days grew as well. I missed a few days simply because I did not work ahead, while once I did, I didn't miss any day anymore. Therefore, I now realized that I too can work ahead for a week or maybe more like @rubencress also mentioned in one of his posts about this challenge.

It did not only get me into a work-ahead flow for my personal account, nope, it also made me work ahead for the projects that I work for. I have been working ahead several days continuously since and for some days I was in such a good flow that I have content prepped for that specific day for four weeks straight. The goal was to have a few weeks planned ahead fully, but I have not managed to achieve that (yet). I don't mind, that's a goal for the future, I'm enjoying my newly adapted routine and I know it will get even smoother in the future.

The reason I picked my smartwatch for the last day is simply because it kind of symbolizes my good intentions at the end of the summer here, when we were finally able to enjoy more walks without fainting from the heat (at least in my case, lol). Later I found out that my extreme high blood pressure may have been the reason that I was feeling as if I'd collapse anytime walking uphill with 35 degrees. I learned (thanks to my smartwatch) that I had several occasions where my blood was very low in oxygen and I also mentioned it to my boyfriend when it happened, later to be confirmed by checking my watch's data.

The idea was to keep walking long distances daily but that has been proven impossible for several reasons living on this spot. I don't mind it now as better days are ahead, it looks like Sunday we will be buying a car and this means we can drive to flatter areas to have long walks, as I need them for my knee. Which has also been acting up lately, gosh all these health issues suck but at least we can now start doing something about them without causing another problem by overdoing it. This actually makes me happy, and excited and I'm thankful with my Huawei band 6 smartwatch even though I don't use it daily at the moment.

It's a pleasure to have one and motivating to check the stats, especially when I can beat the record, lol. Some work to do here to get to that point again, but I'm motivated to get things moving again soon. I never really saw the advantage of such a watch, until I had one. Great stuff!
