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.

I've done the dirty work of downloading and trying out several smartphone apps that are either meditation or mindfulness - or they contain them. Below is the list. During my research, I found some mental wellness apps and included those. Don't cringe if you are an experienced meditation practitioner. With a pair of headphones, these apps can be incredibly helpful in a pinch. To someone new, they may be the one thing that finally helps them start meditating. For example, SmilingMind is totally free and has very short guided meditations with a fantastic Australian accent! My philosophy is that I have downloaded much of those where the initial is free. Therefore, between all the freebies and the actual free apps, I have an amazing collection of meditation options. If you have an app that is not on the list, leave a comment and let me know. If you try out one of the listed apps, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. It helps me when recommending apps to others. Happy Med
