Put a premium on your health and well-being with the help of relaxing apps. The best ones are free and allow you to de-stress and get better each time you use it. If you’re new to the world of meditation and mindfulness, then here are six apps you can try now for free.
Nature Sounds Relax Sleep
Nature can do wonders when it comes to easing the mind and body, but if you don’t have the time to go out of your River Green condo then an app is the next best thing. Nature Sounds Relax Sleep is free and produces nature sounds such as rain, birds, and the ocean. You can even set a timer or an alarm for a gentle wake-up call.
Colorfy
Colorfy is an app that acts as a digital coloring book. It’s billed as a ‘mindfulness coloring book’ where the patterns and shapes are relaxing, and soon you’ll be busy coloring away. The process is meant to be cathartic and stimulating your mind at the same time for an easy de-stress activity when you need it.
Happify
The concept of Happify is in positivity, whether in cognitive therapy, mindfulness, or affirmations. The app’s goal is to make each user happier and it does so in interesting activities.
Headspace
Headspace is one of the most popular relaxing apps out there, with a free trial before you commit. The meditation app offers both unguided and guided meditations for people from all walks of life.
Brain Yoga
Brain Yoga is a unique app in that it combines brain training games with meditation. Stimulate your mind, get a rush of endorphins when you solve a particularly hard puzzle, and repeat.
Calm
Last but not least is Calm, an app that offers meditation sessions and serene backgrounds that can help you get to that happy and relaxed state no matter the time or place.
