Mindfulness to go: life skills のアプリ分析 12月3日

Exercises from mindfulness and psychology for mental health and mood balance. Experience relaxation, learn to deal better with stress and intense emotions, cultivate self care and think more positively. Mindfulness techniques include breathing exercises, meditation, the stress tracker, and much more, to develop good habits. Cultivating mindful living can also support therapy, e.g. for borderline or depression. Mindfulness2go supports you with the following topics: POSITIVE THINKING Targeted exercises direct your attention to the good things in your life. For example, with the exercise "Positive sentence beginnings", you direct your attention towards something positive in the middle of your day. End your day with a review of pleasant and helpful events. The exercise "Three positive things" supports you in doing that. STRESS MANAGEMENT The "Stress tracker" supports you in noticing from time to time how stressed you are in the moment. Your stress level over time becomes a stress curve. Add notes to use this as your mood diary. This helps you understand what causes you stress, improves your self-awareness and thereby facilitates stress management. Breathing exercises such as "Calm breathing" provide you with islands of relaxation in a stressful day. BEING MINDFUL IN EVERYDAY LIFE Mindfulness exercises for everyday life need very little time. Feeling the body, noticing your breath, seeing the good things, using all senses: discover a breadth of methods for being in the Here and Now. If you feel like challenging yourself, try "Doing nothing". DEALING WITH INTENSE EMOTIONS Skills help you interrupt high stress. Before you freak out, these exercises take your mind off things, and you gain back some freedom to choose. Two examples: The little helper "Stone in the shoe" draws your focus towards your body perception ‒ away from strong, negative feelings. Use "5-4-3-2-1" to concentrate deliberately on things in the outside world. This way you distract yourself actively from overwhelming emotions. MEDITATION Discover classic guided meditations as well as extra short meditations "to go" which only take a few minutes. For example, the "Body scan" is a classic mindfulness meditation ‒ a voyage through your body in the here and now. With the "Mountain meditation", you connect with two essential aspects: imperturbability and stability. A gong signals the beginning and end of every meditation. SEEING THINGS MORE CLEARLY Reflections offer you a structure to think through some basic questions. This supports you in taking decisions, such as whether a situation needs acceptance or change. It can also help you investigate limiting beliefs and verify whether they are (still) accurate. For example: "Journaling" helps you sort out the topics that are important to you. That results in increased clarity. Behind stressful feelings, you can often discover important needs that are insufficiently met. The exercise "Emotions and needs" helps you understand them better. Generally, the app can help you find more balance in a stressful life, reduce stress sustainably, and thereby prevent burnout. If you’d like, the "Daily to go" can provide you with a mindful inspiration at the start of every day. All aspects of the app are supported by concise and easy to read background knowledge articles. Some of the exercises are available free of charge. A subscription is needed to access the full set of exercises.
