We live in a world where we can't take some take to think in ourselves, we have to work, study, clean, go to the grocery store, and a lot more things that just take our time.
Even thought we live in an electronic world where we can read a book on the phone, buy things trough the internet and get almost everything in our life done without going out we still can't relax and have 5 minutes to think in us, what we need and how we feel.
The good news is that nowadays we don't have to go and see a therapist or go to the gym to relax, we have something amazing called apps! And today I'll be talking about the ones I find are helping me the most when I feel stressed or just want to have some 'me' time.
This is a free application which shows you the benefits of practising what is called mindfulness, is a quick exercise which makes you relax and get rid of all that stress around you. It takes you only 10 minutes per day and you can do it everywhere at any time.
The free version has the 'Take 10' plan and is about doing one session each day. Of course you can also subscribe and by paying 8 euros per month you can also use their SOS program, the classic and the On-The-Go ones. It also makes you be able to personalise you Headspace with different packs such us sleep, stress and focus.
As I can't afford the paid version I'm currently using the free one but I can sincerely say it helps a lot specially when I have that horrible before-an-exam anxiety.
As most of the yoga/exercise apps that are out there you have a free version and a paid one. As said before I use the free one. This means I can't have a special profile for myself with specific exercises but if you're just getting into yoga and you're a beginner or just want to do some stretching then the free version will be perfect for you. It helps with stretching, relaxing, and just having some time for yourself! And I promise after doing this workouts you feel a lot better and with more energy. If you're new in yoga then try and start practising 2 or 3 times per week :)
Whisper
Ok. This one may seem awkward but I promise it helps when you're not feeling ok or have something you can't handle and want to tell but you can't. I do use it a lot when I know I can't see my therapist and just feel low and share how I feel or what's happening or anything you want!
Whisper is an app where people from all over the world share secrets (or just feelings) without anyone knowing who they are. And you also have a chat where you can talk with someone if you want because you feel alike :)
The bad thing? There's a lot of people that will chat with you trying to have sexting(?) with you or that are just paedophiles... believe if I tell you there's too much of those one, unfortunately. But if you just block them or don't use the chat then you can say all those things you want or just gossip a little bit ;)
So now is your turn to let me know if you have any favourite app or hobby that makes you feel more relaxed! Have a great weekend!!
