By allowing yourself as little as 10 minutes out of your hectic day to explore a meditation app, your mind will quickly begin to reap the benefits of practiced serenity. Here’s a round-up of some of our favourites.
Make some space for Headspace
For over a decade, Headspace has risen to become a prime application for users to experience moments of stress relief in their daily lives. With practical options of both full-length classes and “bite-sized meditations”, the app is fully customisable to your busy schedule. Headspace is currently offering a free 14-day trial that will give you full access to the meditation’s library, which includes sleep sounds, fitness lessons and focus music. You will also get a new meditation delivered to your handset every day and daily inspirational videos to help you start the day off in the right mood. We don’t want you to miss out on this special offer, so get your free trial here while you still can.
Enter the hidden realms of Calm
It’s hard to ignore the promising words of a company who claim 84% of its users who used their app 5x a week “saw an improvement in their mental health”. Calm has been around since 2012 and has since had over 100 million downloads and countless 5-star reviews inspired by the positive experiences of users who have embraced the meditation app in their lifestyle. The Daily Calm feature promotes a 10-minute meditation session that is refreshed with a new one each day. Not only does the app promote momentary stress relief, it also alleges to assist with focus, ease depression and encourage gratitude. Movement is associated with a reduction in stress, which is why the app’s built-in feature “Calm Body”, allows you to explore a collection of morning and evening stretches, carefully designed to allow you to move your body “mindfully”. Still not convinced? Perhaps a free 7-day trial of Calm Premium will change your mind.
Add some Colorfy to your world
Art has been an active method of therapy for many years and has played a crucial role in helping people to cope with their social, emotional and mental health needs. Sometimes words or movement are unable to relieve the inner turmoil, and this is where the Colorfy app succeeds. From mandalas to famous paintings, the user can choose from a vast collection of pictures to colour in. In just 10 minutes, not only will you be feeling refreshed, you will also have a work of art to mark your moment of peace. Colorfy also gives you the option to paint your own drawings, that way you can express your own creative impulses without any limitations. With over 25 million users, no wonder the app is the no.1 colouring book for adults. Easily download the Colorfy app here.
Although today is a great reminder to make some time for yourself, we believe every day should carry this message. With a sufficient data plan, you can be assured you’ll have instant access to your favourite relaxation app without any interruptions. Browse our latest data plans here.
