But, perhaps there's more for you to know.

#RealityCrafters #BodyTemperature #Temperature #HealthMetrics #Longevity

These aren't obscure blood test result metrics or niche test scores (though we are likely to cover many of those coming up too). These are things like body temperature. Things you may scoff at that you "already know and understand"...

This post is the first in a series of posts that's going to cover the most "basic" health metrics. Metrics you should understand properly if you're going to use them to help you reach your goals.

But... Do we really know what our goals are in tracking this data? Do we know what the data is? Why it's being measured? How that measurement can be used? Or even how accurate that measurement is?

Whether it be distrust in traditional medical systems, desire to be in control of your destiny, an optimisation obsession, a lingering feeling of guilt that you "should be doing the healthy thing", or curiosity about your body... More people than ever are using tech to track their health data.

We hear it a lot nowadays, "be the CEO of your own health", "take your health into your own hands"… etc.

Thank you to everyone who viewed (or played, shared & favourited) our Snapchat lenses! Two million is an exciting milestone for our Y2K Checkers lens. We can’t wait to make more AR, tech & content in the coming months.

The Influence of Lifelong Learning on Life Satisfaction and Successful Aging in Older Adults: A Narrative Literature Review | Journal of Gerontological Nursing Purpose: To explore the association between lifelong learning (LL) and successful aging and discover ways that primary care nurses (PCNs) may facilitate successful aging by promoting LL. Method: A na...

Morris-Foster, J. M. (2024). The Influence of Lifelong Learning on Life Satisfaction and Successful Aging in Older Adults: A Narrative Literature Review. Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(8), 11–17. doi.org/10.3928/0098...

Lifelong means lifelong. Not just while you're in school or the decade or so after. Keep that flame of fascination alight and it will keep so much more alight within you for years to come.

It was concluded that continuous learning throughout the older adult years, specifically, strengthens personal resources, promoting positive health outcomes, whole-person wellness, life satisfaction, and helps individuals to be and do what is important to them.

In a recent review (Morris-Foster, 2024), 21 articles looked at lifelong learning & found lifelong learning provides meaning, purpose, pleasure, hope & support, preserves identity & independence, alleviates social isolation & boredom, and promotes better health & functionality.

The more you learn, the more you discover that there is more to learn. We’ve both been learning a whole lot this week and simultaneously discovering just how much more there is that we want to truly learn and understand.

“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.” — Leonardo da Vinci

Learning can absolutely invigorate the mind, kicking off a flame of fascination and curiosity the deeper you go.

Life is expensive. Many other things, like food, learning, travel and experiences are sacrificed. They don't need to be.

#RealityCrafters #Tech #Mindfulness #Technology #LessButBest

When it comes to technology and devices, the price tag of this mistake can be quite a lot. From hundreds of dollars for extra memory you don't use or warranties that'll run out just before you actually need them, to thousands of dollars for devices that you don't need.

With a sprinkling of social expectations, a dash of current trends, the lure of a "great deal" that's going to be there for a "limited time only" and a spoonful of enthusiastic influencers (who may have got that device entirely for free)... It's hard not to fall victim at least once.

For someone that's a tech native, tech enthusiast or uses a lot of tech in their work... The right mix of promises and tickling of curiosity could be enough to have you spinning down the whirlpool of selling yourself on a suite of things you'll buy and never use.

You may buy something "in case it's needed" or because "it seems like it might be important". Even worse, "because it'll last longer so you don't have to deal with all the confusion again" (spoiler: it probably won't).

It's not surprising when you look at the tech consumer landscape.

For someone who's a tech minimalist, newer to the tech landscape or "doesn't engage in the latest technology as much"... Each new iteration of devices comes with its own textbook of gibberish selling it.

Technology has a way of seducing us to spend huge amounts of money, that we'd never throw at anything else, for "upgrades", "features", "cutting-edge innovations" and "insights" that we may not even understand... Never mind use. 🧵

We’re hoping over time, you’ll be able to collect together quite a neat pile of useful information that can help you craft your reality.

Collect them all ✨

#RealityCrafters #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #Technology #PDFDownloads

The catch? We’re only going to leave these downloads up for two weeks via the email-entry system, and one month for Luminaries.

The other, will be through a manual email-entry system (coming soon) where if you enter your email, you’ll be sent the PDF (no strings attached, though there will be an option to sign up to The Reality Crafter mailing list, only if you want to).

Either way, the posts will be available in two different ways. One is on the Discord for Luminaries (those who are patroning The Reality Crafters on Patreon).

At times, the PDFs will simply contain the information from the posts - formatted in a neat, concise, easy-to-revise way. At other times, the PDFs may contain more information than the posts, giving a little extra.

Get your PDFs! Get your PDFs!

After a very good suggestion in the Reality Crafters discord, we’ve decided to create downloadable PDFs for some of the content of our online posts. 🧵
