Fall is in full swing and the social calendar is filling up. This may require a pause and a reminder to assess how well you are managing yourself. Many jobs are returning to hybrid or in-person combinations after months of working from home. There are so many things we have to take in that we tend to forget to stop. Do an internal health check.
Luckily, if you have a Garmin fitness watch, you always have a comprehensive view of your health with the flick of your wrist. Here are some of our favorite ways to practice self-care with Garmin.
1. Stay hydrated.
You hear it all the time, but I’m going to say it anyway: drink your water. drink. your. water. Your body needs water for many reasons, including maintaining body temperature, aiding digestion, protecting tissues and joints, and regulating mood. So whether you’re knocking it back in a glass or slurping it up in a trendy to-go tumbler, sip that water.

2. Be aware of your stress level.
Literally — on some Garmin workout watches, current stress level Displayed in real time on a scale of 1 to 100. Compatible Garmin devices use heart rate data to measure the interval between each heartbeat. The length of time is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. A smaller heartbeat variability indicates a higher stress level, and a higher variability indicates a lower stress level. is not it cool? A stress score between 0 and 25 indicates that the body is at rest (represented in blue). 26-50 indicates low stress (light orange). 51-75 indicates moderate stress (dark orange). 76-100 is high stress (red).
3. Breathe in.
When your stress level approaches red, that could indicate it’s the perfect time to pause and take a breather. Includes a built-in Breathwork activity for a full and calming breathing exercise. As you breathe, the watch tracks your stress and breathing levels to help you understand how well your breathing techniques are working. If your stress level is high, your watch can even send you a relaxing reminder to time out and complete your breathing activity.
4. Get a beauty rest.
Not getting enough sleep (or not getting enough time in each sleep stage) can turn you into a zombie the next day, with no consequences for your physical or mental health. Adequate sleep is not only important for your alertness, but also for your immune system. Still, too many adults are not consistently getting the amount of sleep they need.
Enter your Garmin Sleep Score. Garmin sleep tracking takes the guesswork out of analyzing your body’s sleep patterns. Compatible watches with advanced sleep tracking can identify when you fall asleep, when you wake up, and when your body enters different stages of sleep throughout the night. In the morning, you’ll see how long you slept, how well you slept, and your sleep score, which summarizes how well your body recovered from the previous day on a scale of 0-100. Plus, get personalized insights on what he did well or what he can do throughout the day to improve his sleep score the next night.
5. Make time to exercise.

How the menstrual cycle affects your body is a little more complicated than whether you bleed or not. All four menstrual cycles, the menstrual cycle, the follicular phase, the ovulatory phase, and the luteal phase, are hormonally driven. Knowing what time period you’re in can explain a lot about what’s going on in your body at that time.
