On different occasions, the coronavirus pandemic has left many of us on the verge of tears and with an empty feeling in our chests.
Whether it is because of financial hardships, the loss of a close family member, a complicated long-distance relationship, or disheartening news, COVID-19 has made it difficult for us to focus on our own personal growth.
How can we keep our emotional balance with such an uncertain future ahead? It is a challenging task to say the least, but not an impossible one. We just need some spiritual guidance and, luckily, there are a few apps that can help with that!
Headspace
Headspace is a guide to mindfulness for our everyday lives. From short meditations while working from home to “SOS” sessions for moments of panic, anxiety, and stress, this app is an excellent tool to keep ourselves present, exercise our minds, and sleep better.
Spirit Junkie
Spirit Junkie is an app that brightens our mornings with affirmations. By setting a time for an affirmation at any point of the day, we are reminded of the power of our bodies and minds, the value in expressing our feelings, and the importance of never losing hope.
