Dear <<First Name>>
Apps for Building and Maintaining Well-Being
There are a number of apps that are readily available that will support you in building and maintaining your well-being; these apps focus on:
- Meditation
- Mindfulness
- Brain training
- Breathing
- Tracking moods
- Yoga
- Mindset
- Positive practices
- Physical fitness and more
When choosing an app to support your well-being, consider its fit*; that is:
- Fit with your key well-being goal(s)
- Fit with your strengths and motivations
- Fit with your lifestyle
- Fit with what seems natural to you
- Fit with having some fun
Apps that we use regularly, which fit for us, include:
- Buddhify 2 – a targeted mindfulness app which provides suggested exercises based on asking you “What are you doing?â€; www.buddhify.com
- Lumosity – designed to provide your brain with a workout; it’s a lot of fun and can get somewhat competitive in our household!; www.lumosity.com
- Mood Meter – helps to identify emotions, thereby building emotional vocabulary which in turn helps in emotional self management/self regulation; www.moodmeterapp.com
- Run Keeper – designed to track your physical activities; www.runkeeper.com
