With the busy holiday season upon us, have wellness at the tip of your fingers with our favourite apps.
Our busy schedules often don’t allow us to drop into that much needed 7am yoga class or eat healthy home-cooked meals on a daily basis. Elevated stress levels don’t help our sleep pattern, making us feel a little all over the place especially during colder months. Manage your sleep cycle, make nourishing food with the help of easy recipes, take 10 minutes to meditate or squeeze in a workout with the help of our favourite of wellness apps listed below.
MINDFULNESS
Headspace brings you guided meditation and mindfulness techniques to apply to stressful situations. The app has hundreds of different mediations on different subjects, 2-3 minute ‘mini meditations’ for busy days, as well as emergency sessions for moments of panic or anxiety. The perfect app to reset your mind and find more balance.
Calm is another great meditation app focused on deep sleep, calming anxiety and breathing programs. Ranging from three to 25 minutes you can choose the perfect length for you to ensure that you can commit to the practice on a daily basis.
FITNESS
Charity Miles is a favourite of ours. This app allows you to earn money for a charity of your choice while running, walking or biking. Members have already earned over $2.5 million for charities including Habitat for Humanity, Girl Up and many more. It’s time to move with purpose!
8fit provides personalised workouts, customised meal plans and recipes. The workouts are between 15-20 minutes and can be done at home without any fancy equipment – ideal for a busy schedule.
