  • HEADSPACE: “There are many apps for meditation. My favorite is Headspace, which can be accessed either online (www.headspace.com) or through your app store. This site features a former Buddhist monk named Andy Puddicombe, who leads daily guided meditation sessions. It is a subscription service, but the first 10 days are free, so the listener can decide whether it is worth purchasing a year’s subscription. I came across this app about 16 months ago and have been practicing meditation on almost a daily basis (well, at least several times a week) ever since. In the moment, meditation is incredibly relaxing (at least it was for me—mindfulness can take on many forms). It offers a brief respite from the busy, multitasking world I live in. But after about 6 months, I began to see benefits beyond the daily dose.”

  • “CHILLAX This is a free app that, as the iTunes preview says, “uses a combination of soothing music, relaxing sounds, and binaural beats to ease you into a state of relaxation and calm.” If you develop a coping strategy that involves taking a “time-out” to calm down or recover from a stressful experience, this might help you do that.

  • BALANCED:This is a pretty straightforward app for setting goals and keeping track of personal improvement efforts. Many of the categories and choices relate to improving emotional control or personal well-being.”
