Episode Synopsis
Send us a textReady to improve your emotional and mental health, all at the tip of your fingers? In this episode, I share three smartphone apps that have been game-changers for my mental wellbeing. I truly believe everyone can benefit from using these tools, and they are particularly invaluable for working moms with ADHD (like me and many of my clients).1 - "How We Feel" - Improve your emotional intelligence, learn emotional regulation skills, track your moods and find patterns, and even share them with your loved ones if you choose. This app was created with the help of Marc Brackett, PhD, a Yale professor who studies emotions and wrote the excellent book "Permission to Feel." The app is quick & easy to use, and entirely free. 2 - "Insight Timer" - The largest available collection of free meditations, with options to suit every preference, as well as sleep meditations, sleep stories, white noise, yoga and more. This app is flexible and easy to use even if you find meditation difficult to fit into your schedule. There is a truly optional paid Pro membership if you want more content, but you still get access to more free meditations than anywhere else. When you first join Insight Timer, it can feel overwhelming, so to help you get started, I've put together a list of links to my favorite free Insight Timer meditations. Download it here. 3 - "Focus@Will" This app provides music specifically optimized to help you focus and be more productive. It was created after extensive research and the music is personalized to the way each person's individual brain works. It has been absolute game-changer for my focus and productivity. This one is not free, but it's affordable, and there is a 1 week free trial so you can be sure it works for you before you spend any money. I'm not one to spend money on apps, but I invested in this because it works so well!Read to try them out for yourself?
