I'm an avid reader of the Huffington Post and love Ariana's section called GPS for the Soul. Several of you discovered this blog from an article they did about my post Face the Fear.
Not only is GPS for the Soul choc-a-bloc full of great articles and ideas for living life creatively, it is now a killer app for taking time for yourself in the middle of a hectic workday and checking in with yourself to see where you are on the scale of relaxation.
By placing your finger over the camera and flash of your phone, the app checks your heart rate and the variations it is making and lets you know if you are in stress mode. It then makes recommendations on different guides you can follow in order to take a mini vacation from stress right at your desk, parked in your car or lying in bed
You can choose from many different guides: meditation, yoga, breathing exercises or inspirational slide shows and while listening to or watching the guides, a breathing guide comes on to the screen to encourage you to breathe more deeply and slowly - something I always highly encourage.
At the end of the guide, you are encouraged to check in again and I think you'll find that if you try this app when you are feeling stressed, you'll definitely feel more relaxed after using it than when you started.
Another great feature of this app is that you can create your own guides to share with others or just use for yourself. You can use music they provide or your own, add photos from your camera roll or the internet and type in affirmations and inspirational quotes. The next time you need a quick shot of inspiration, load up your personally made guide, put on your headphones, and RELAX and BREATHE to messages you've created for yourself.
If you are working on YOU, LLC, I highly recommend this easy to use and beautifully designed app to help you in your quest to live life fully and creatively. See you next time for more ways to LLC!
