Here is your step by step guide on the do's / don'ts to surviving a #fitbit malfunction or breakdown:
- Try to relax - it's going to be ok. Find something to occupy your thoughts and mind that does not remind you of tracking anything.
- Don't panic - know that it's all really going to be ok. Perhaps you become a "rider" or take a ride, and let someone else be the walker?
- Try not to curse the person who talked you into getting a #fitbit because really, you were COMPLETELY fine without one BUT now thanks to them, you can't live without it.
- Don't panic - remind yourself that you're ok, noone is injured and this is only temporary.
- DO NOT...I repeat, DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR STATS OR HOW YOUR FRIENDS ARE DOING - when you get the weekly email, just delete it. Don't open it.
- DO Frantically search online for answers and try EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. I'm talking 2 days of trying everything. Go through 7 paperclips trying to reset, use every usb within a 5 mile radius, try it all.
- DO Email customer support hourly, call them, online chat ALL.DAY.LONG
- DO breath deeply - try to get a grip that time is NOT lost if steps aren't tracked.
- Reread and repeat step #5. Hourly.
- Remind yourself that the day IS still worth while, and it is not in fact a "waste of a day, without a point" even though your steps are going on trackless.
Just got a confirmation a new one is on the way...phew....You too can find the support you need during times of a #fitbitcrisis. There is support. @nmyoder1202 #fitbit #joovy #hagardaily @shihtzu @dailydougie @theellenshow
