It is almost impossible to stay away from what is happening today. Phones are overflowing with notifications, the news is updated every second, everyone is talking about the plight of the world on TV, on the radio and on the streets.
Recently, VTsIOM conducted a survey among Russians and found that one in five Russians cannot sleep due to stress.
Of course, experiencing fear, anxiety, guilt, stress – while natural, it’s not very pleasant.
Many tools can help in the fight against anxiety, one of them is meditation – an affordable, quick and relatively simple way to restart, exhale and let go of the situation for at least a few minutes. You can do it at home, at work or even on the way home with the help of apps that make it easy to control emotions.
Let’s talk about the best of them.
“Mo: Meditation and Sleep”
According to Mo, the app has 1.1 million users, its programs are recommended by psychologists and therapists, and the effect of use is promised within a week. The app library includes over 200 classes and apps (refreshed weekly), so you have a lot of choices: there are courses “Antistress”, “Concentration and Productivity”, “Sleep Meditation”, “Personal Relationships”, “Happiness” and Thanksgiving” , “Self-esteem” and others, as well as you can turn on the mode “for a good sleep”, in which a fairy tale will be read aloud to you.

In the app you can choose any of the formats that suit you best: one-time meditations, breathing exercises or full-fledged courses. There is also a professional guide who will be with you in the form of a pleasant voice and soothing melodies, where neither the session, nor the conflicts, nor the business problems are terrible. In addition, in the “Practice” they promise that there is no esotericism in their meditation, so there is no word about nirvana and open chakras. Just applied tools, awareness and self-adaptation.
