Life can be stressful. Increasingly, folks are turning to meditation to help. One of the best ways to use mediation apps is through Apple Watch. Here are some of the best ones you can begin using today.
There is also a 30-second quick calm session that requires you to touch and hold your finger on your Apple Watch screen. You can't press too hard or too soft. This mini mind exercise helps you focus on something other than your anger or fear in bite-size sessions. If you are paying attention to how much pressure you use while touching the screen, you might forget about that thing that was freaking you out 10 seconds ago.
If you tend to get wound up during the day and sometimes feel like you just need to clear your head, give Headspace a try.
One of the best things about the app is that the sessions are quick and have been designed to fit into your active life. They've been created for use during lunch breaks, commutes, and other times. With Apple Health app integration, you can see your progress over the long-term.
