I live very close to my job. Approximately 600 m. Using a car is completely pointless. I walk to work, but I got tired of it. So I started thinking about buying a bike.

Throughout my childhood and in my youth, I changed quite a few bikes. I remember a photo of me when I was a little girl, sitting on my first orange tricycle and cradling a huge bear in my arms. Then came the red bike with training wheels that were slowly removed after a while, and then a BMX bike, a men’s bike with 10 gears and a mountain bike with 24 gears. Apparently, there was a whole bunch of them!

There is a broad range of different models and dimensions available on the market. Which one would suit me best? I want it to meet my needs, and obviously, I also have to like it!

And so it begins: choosing, deciding, etc. Regular or electric bike? Don’t I get some kind of an “incentive” if I choose an electric bike? But do I really need it? On the other hand, why not? But then again, why yes? If I’m only going to use it to go to work? What if I start actually cycling a little, do I have to buy something more concrete…? Wheel size, tire size, tire width, braking system, seat, necessary accessories, cosmetic touches, colour, etc.To put it bluntly – STRESS.

On a daily basis, we routinely adopt 20,000 decisions.Consciously and subconsciously. We actually make decisions throughout the day. We even have to make decisions about things we consider very basic. What are we going to eat? What will we wear? Regardless of whether you’re a person who usually complicates things or not, a decision still has to be made.You can make decisions intuitively, “with your gut”, with your emotions or “with your heart”, or using only your common sense, “with your head”.

Just think about how many decisions you have to make when you’re shopping for basic groceries!Our stomach pulls us towards a product by reproducing the sensations of comfort when we remember something; the brand tugs at our heartstrings, and when we see that this purchase would actually be a reasonable one – it all becomes worth it.

The combination of all three is a clear victory! And this is the only thing we really want for ourselves. But do we even know how to listen to ourselves? Or do we only listen to others?

Can you imagine having the opportunity of adopting all 20,000 daily decisions on all three levels? You would live an ideal life in an ideal world. Of course, this is impossible, I agree. But it does feel good to listen to yourself and to what you really want when you are buying something that is set to accompany you on your adventures. Like a bicycle, for example.

The best thing is to get rid of everything else and just hear yourself. What do I want? What do I need?

The floating chamber is an ideal place where you can calm your mind, listen to yourself, “see the better picture” and connect your head, your heart and your gut.

Sooner or later, I’ll have to go check available bicycles. There is no way getting around it. But I will leave the decision up to the whole me. I’m already looking forward to it!
