Relax: Focus & Stress Relief

There’s a lot to love about relax. I racked up more than 10 hours during the beta. The one feature I want to call out is the “Save Extra Time” feature. It keeps track of the extra time when you go over (e.g.。 if you start a 10 minute unguided but end up going for 20 minutes。 the extra 10 minutes is tracked).

I love this app! Simplicity and its incredible quality are its two biggest selling points. I just wish they had more relax options and styles like gong mediation. You know, where a gong is struck and one focuses on the sound from strike to strike, the reverberation giving one multiple layers in which to guide their focus. Also a education section that is filled with peer reviewed articles about relax, and articles from people like Pema Chödrön about how to get the most from or coordinating relax in ones life.

Works. I have felt subtle yet noticeable changes in my focus and peace of mind in a short amount of time. Even helps with running better. Who knew?! Works like a virtual retreat center in a sense. You can pick and choose the lessons (and even the instructor voice) that works best for you with where you are at. Has helped me to finally become a regular meditator. Highly recommend.
