Today is National Stress Awareness Day, and likely you don’t need a national holiday to know if you’re stressed or not. Hopefully, that stress isn’t a daily thing for you but more likely than not, there’s something in your life that’s weighing on you. So we wanted to take this opportunity to share what apps there are to help address these pressures and make them more manageable.
Happify
Happify is an app that uses years of research that suggests specific types of activities can help you overcome negativity, anxiety, and stress while enhancing your gratitude and empathy. Basically, the goal is to break negative patterns for new, positive habits.

We’ve all seen those coloring books for adults and if you’ve ever given one a whirl, you know how relaxing they actually are. Maybe you’re not ready to be toting around your coloring book with your colored pencils if so this app does a great job at replicating the experience. The app allows you to enjoy some color therapy from the privacy and portability of your phone.

Sleep is a big component to managing our stress levels and in the same vein waking up from sleep can be done in a more natural and relaxing manner to help kick your day off the right way.
