What are your two favorite things to wear?
There are two things I wear with pride every day: my Apple Watch and myself. To some, an Apple Watch is just a trendy accessory, but to me, it’s far more than that. It’s not about fashion; it’s about function. It’s not about looking good; it’s about feeling good. This small device once became the catalyst for a major transformation in my life. From 162 pounds to 124 pounds, it didn’t just track my steps—it tracked my progress, measured my determination, and celebrated my victories. It’s a health gadget that reminds me to move, to breathe, and to take charge of my well-being. Every ring I close isn’t just a goal met; it’s a promise kept—to myself.
But alongside my Apple Watch, I wear something even more important: myself. You might wonder what I mean by that. Recently, I blogged about wearing my skin, and that’s exactly what it is. To wear myself is to embrace who I am, unapologetically and confidently. It’s to walk through life with the assurance that there’s nothing better than being simply and authentically me. Just as my Apple Watch reflects my commitment to physical health, wearing myself speaks to my character and self-esteem.
One tracks my steps; the other carries my stride. One encourages me to move forward; the other ensures I do so with confidence. One measures my activity; the other reflects my identity. Together, they remind me that true well-being comes not just from taking care of my body, but also from embracing my soul.
When I wear my Apple Watch, I’m reminded of how far I’ve come physically. When I wear myself, I’m reminded of how far I’ve come emotionally. One helps me become the best version of my physical self; the other reminds me that I already am the best version of my true self.
So every day, as I strap on my Apple Watch and step into my skin, I carry with me two symbols of self-care: one for my health, and one for my heart. Both tell my story. Both reflect my journey. And both remind me that there’s no better way to live than by wearing my one and only, irreplaceable me.
