Whether you are a seasoned mental health enthusiast or just starting to build your self-care routine, everyone is constantly searching for ways to improve upon their wellbeing. You could treat yourself to dinner and a movie, spend an afternoon in your garden, or tune in to one of your favorite podcasts. You could also turn to one of these three self-care apps, which will make creating and implementing a balanced, rewarding lifestyle a very seamless process. Check them out below!

Calm

Open the Calm app, and you’ll immediately be greeted with the gentle sound of the outdoors. Promising to help its users sleep better, boost confidence, and reduce stress and anxiety, Calm's “Daily Calm” sessions, soothing music, and bedtime stories work to better the mental wellbeing and overall happiness of users. Speaking of users, there are also intermediate and advanced programs available.

Grateful

If you’re feeling down, it can work wonders to take some time to think about all the things you have to be thankful for. The idea for Grateful was based on research from Harvard Medical School, which showed a link between expressing gratitude and improved health. Posting daily diary entries will allow you to reflect on the good times and illustrate how the smallest things can have the biggest impact on your day.

Shine

Acting like your supportive best friend or parent, Shine is “a daily pep talk in your pocket,” a friendly reminder to believe in yourself that can help you overcome stress. Not only can you get a Monday through Friday morning Shine Text filled with motivational messages and affirmations, but you can also access personalized audio challenges and self-improvement audio tracks to help you achieve your goals.
