How MindWatch changed my life!

Hi everybody,

My name is Sabrina. I was one of the lucky prototype testers and had already the chance to use MindWatch for the first time last year. Even though the prototypes I tested had a few problems to overcome, and changed considerably, the end result I achieved was mind blowing.

Being a fulltime mum with four children I was pretty busy in my life. I managed my household, the garden, preparing freshly cooked meals, caring for pets, driving the kid's taxi and so on. Every woman who has a children knows what I am talking about. When I looked at my life I actually thought it was fulfilled, and I even tried to iron with joy.

Then MindWatch came into my life. I put it on my wrist and set it to remind me every half hour to observe my energy levels. This was quite often but I was really keen to see what observing the 7 areas of my life would reflect.

Reading a lot of different books I came to realize that people who had found their true passion radiated the fulfillment which I was longing for. It was something I was missing even though I was very content, but in the midst of a busy life I never found the time to look deeper into it.

So every time MindWatch chimed I observed what kind of life situation I was in and how I felt about it. At first, most of the reminders had me recording ups and downs in the “Family White” area, but eventually all those continuous reminders and self reflections brought up a few distinctions.

As a house wife I had to differentiate between FAMILY (kids & husband), SPIRITUAL (my unclear Life Purpose or driving force), VOCATION (housework), MENTAL (study, learning and reading) SOCIAL (hobbies and creative projects with kids for homework), PHYSICAL (my daily walk with my husband and our choice to eat healthy food) and FINANCIAL (financial planning and controlling our expenses).

This segmented way of viewing my life was quite overwhelming at first but lead me to a powerful realization. I was obviously very happy around my kids and they are undoubtedly my highest value. It was also evident that I was stressed with my household. My mood and energy level went right down and I started to be impatient doing tasks in this area. I also realized that I could spend a whole night in front of the computer researching, analyzing and working without getting tired, in contrast I was highly energized. The same feeling came from reading. I always have 3 or 4 books around the house allowing me throughout the day to reload and to energize my life.

Wow this was a realization. The MENTAL area was something I had actually tried to hide because of feeling guilty about not attending my expected household duties.

The results after a few weeks were astounding. The MindWatch graphs from recording my observations showed very clearly that my life purpose is family, but also learning and research. These were the areas which gave me energy and joy and stood high above all the rest.

I then started to brainstorm to convert this realization into a plan of action. It did not take long until I had the brilliant idea to take my four children out of school and home school them. This would allow me to be able to learn and study as much as I like. Taking responsibility for my children’s education by myself meant I could convey my enthusiasm for books and study to them.

A few weeks later my vision became completely clear. From the tuition fee we saved from home schooling I hired someone to take care of the household and the laundry. Since this decision I feel absolutely empowered. I am able to do what I love and love what I do. You won’t believe how empowering this is. I even lost 10 kg and friends mentioned that I am looking much younger now.

I can highly recommend MindWatch because it truly helped me to discover my real passion which was so evident but hidden underneath all the expectations I placed on myself and from the people around me. This constant reminder to observe yourself and who you truly are reveals what you really want to do with your life. It is a powerful way to wake you up and to get you moving. It is as if you cannot hide your true passion any more once it is out in your conscious mind.
