Apps To Reduce Stress

We all tend to have our phones by our sides, most of the day.  Use that phone for good!  Below is a small but powerful list of my personal favorite apps.  I use most of them on a daily basis.  All of them within a week.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. 

Positive Prime is different.

It doesn’t ask you to work harder to feel better. Instead, it meets you where you are and gives your brain the reset it’s been craving.  Just sit back and watch the video vision board scroll by.

✅ It’s built on neuroscience, not trends
✅ It uses visual priming, affirmations, and music to activate your whole brain
✅ You simply press play, and the Session does the work
✅ You can personalize it with your own images and goals
✅ It works in just three minutes a day

Watch my session below.  I created it for myself and other people with heart conditions.   However there is a very large menu of sessions covering areas like: abundance, relationships, healing, kids, spirituality, fitness and more.  In just 3 minutes, PositivePrime is proven to improve your stress levels.

Nature Sounds

As I work on the computer, I create a wonderful work environment.  I usually have oils diffusing and nature sounds running in the background.  It’s soothing and this video is over eight hours.  It’s especially nice in winter.  Search for others as well. 

Gratitude

Developing a gratitude practice can change the chemistry of our bodies and minds, shifting our perspective on our circumstances.
