I think we all want to feel special and I believe if we search long enough we will find just what this special talent is. It may be difficult because we do not always recognize our true gifts. Sometimes these gifts are more obvious to others than they are to us. Sometimes these gifts are difficult to identify without special monitoring tools.
I purchased a FitBit One because I love any kind of data (and I hoped it would help me lose weight). You know that 10000 step thing. It is more difficult to take 10000 steps than you might think. It turns out that being active is not my special gift.
The FitBit also monitors the effectiveness of your sleep. Evidently, being able to sleep soundly is an important component of being healthy. Sleep is very important in helping your body recuperate from the strains and damage of the day. There is also something about your brain doing helpful things when you are in deep REM sleep.
It turns out that I am a spectacular sleeper. I sleep very deeply – my body and brain must be deriving tremendous benefit. This must be it. This must be my special gift. Who would have guessed? Without this wonderful device I would not have known what special talent I possessed.
