SMILING MINDS:

This app is helpful for university students before stressful times like exams or presentations, when you’re feeling anxious and need to take a few moments to calm down. It uses simple visuals to slow down your heart rate and reduce the physical symptoms of stress and anxiety.

When a worrying thought comes to mind, use the app to record your worries so you can get on with your day and return to it later. This enables you to take some control over upsetting thoughts, so they can be less disruptive throughout the rest of your day. The app is helpful in allowing you to notice patterns and address recurring themes on your mind.

This app offers a personalised six-week program that aims in improving your general health and wellbeing. It focuses on improving mood, energy and wellbeing. It involves a morning, afternoon and night check to rate your sleep quality, mood and energy, and log the amount of exercise you've done during the day.

Smiling Mind guides you through simple meditation exercises to get you started on your mindfulness journey and bring balance into your life. The app uses engaging illustrations and short meditation sessions to train you to become more aware of your breath and senses when dealing with the pressure, and challenges of daily life.
