Free Mental Health and Wellness Apps


Even if you don't have a mental illness, (or, lucky you, don’t even suffer from anxiety) you should be assessing your mental health occasionally. And realize that every single person needs to make themselves a priority with selfcare. That includes taking time to check out the resources available to them to make that easier. See a great list of apps here for one aspect – Meditation and Mindfulness.  
Incorporate some routines to not only combat stress but to even stay ahead of stress before it gets to a critical level. 
Though technology should not be your only tool, I am a big believer in making it one of your tools. Below is a list of free mental health and wellness apps. Because resources should be free and accessible to everyone.

Drops Scarf Knit Pattern

Simple pattern for even beginner knitters. It wouldn't be your very first project but could be when you are ready to learn about dropping yarn overs. It is that easy. Drops Scarf knit pattern is a wonderful way to put together novelty yarn you have sitting around along with other yarn, one you might not have considered pairing with it previously. For example, you can pair a mohair yarn with a flag novelty yarn. I have worked this project with many different types of yarn pairings. For this project, I paired Pima cotton with Trellis, a lacy ribbon yarn. Below is a photo of the beginning of the latest project with this pattern. The name "Drops" comes from dropping the yarn overs and the way the yarn is dropping down, like streaming rain drops. Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Or you can find me on Ravelry , my handle is  AstroGirlBunny . Yarns: Yarn A is Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima in Mushroom (200 yards). Yarn B is Lion Brand T...
