Who are you? Selina Horning, in charge of Customer Success.

What one word would you use if you have to describe yourself?

Thoughtful.

I can read a room and understand people’s energy. I am aware that I have this superpower and happily use it when it’s needed. Also, I feel I help myself when I help others, it gives me a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life.

How do you prioritize wellbeing in your own life?

I strive to find the balance between work, my loved ones, and time for myself. I try to have a sustainable lifestyle that aligns with my goals of keeping things simple, I do not want to own too much stuff. Therefore I have more time and resources available to take care of my mental health. I love doing my usual morning routine of yoga, and meditation in combination with surfing and quiet time in nature.  When I do this regularly, I feel beautiful, elegant, and happy from within.

How and when do you experience flow?

I love playing games with friends and being part of creative processes like making music. Learning something new gets me in a playful mindset and this way I find flow quite easily.

Finding a balance between challenge and skill and then having that deep concentration, with actions and awareness being merged is when I experience flow and therefore awe. 

What is your relationship with technology? 

I have a” Love-Hate relationship” with technology. For many years I had a dream to work remotely as I like traveling. I have noticed how much I get done efficiently when traveling. I studied in Kenya a couple of years ago and was grateful to have the technology to connect with people back home. I do not like social media and I have turned off all my notifications, taken the apps off my phone interface, and lived happily ever after... I’d much rather call a friend and go for a beach walk to find a moment of true connection.

How does stress influence your decision/feelings/performance?

When I am stressed I get a bit fearful and indecisive, and I don’t like the feeling of fight or flight. But I think a little stress, like that little rush of adrenaline, is ok, as it gives a little pressure to get things done. And getting things done makes me feel good. I am continuously working on finding the perfect balance.

If you could inspire someone else through a health challenge, what would that challenge be?

I would challenge you to turn off your social media notifications for a week and start your day with a short morning meditation. Even five minutes of meditation daily is enough to help clear your mind, improve your mood and reduce stress levels.

What is your favorite NOWATCH configuration?

I love wearing the NOWATCH gold case, with the clay leather strap and the white agate. Shop Selina's favorite NOWATCH.
