(Win it!) Headspace is a Must-Have Meditation App During the Quarantine.

We recently changed our editorial calendar to work on self improvement posts that may possibly help us to come out of the quarantine with better habits.  Today is one of those posts!

If you follow regularly, you may know that we have been using a fabulous app called Headspace since 2018.  As a former skeptic about meditation, let me tell you that a trendy app called Headspace changed my mind and taught me to reduce my anxiety through meditation. Actually, my entire family uses it together in the evening and it is exceptionally helpful now that we are all socially distancing ourselves from others. Let me tell you more about it because I think that it's a truly helpful app.  Plus, I'll point you to where some medical care professionals and grade school teachers may get a free subscription. We'll also run a giveaway for one lucky winner to receive a one-year subscription! Woohoo!

Headspace gives a great introduction to the fundamentals of meditation through easy to grasp analogies.  Even better, the analogies are frequently supported by whimsical animations that help get the point across to meditation novices.  For example, this screenshot illustrates a scene from a video that likens thoughts to passing cars.

The uncluttered app interface also serves as analogy for an uncluttered mind.  First, you select a program from a very large library, with options to suit everyone.

Then, to start a program, the process is very simple.  Just follow the on screen prompts and select the right duration for you.

After finishing your meditation, check your stats and get ready for next time. 

We absolutely love Headspace! It was a game changer for our family's routine. We found the ability to create more peace in our lives. I hope that these tips help your family, especially now that we are quarantined 24/7!
