I have read that meditation is a wonderful way to promote inner calm in your life.
On recommendation from a doctor, I started to use an iPhone app for meditation. She recommended Headspace and Simply being. I looked at those apps and decided to download the Headspace app which was free and if I think I want to try another I would pay the $1.99 for the Simply being app. I did notice another app had better reviews than Headspace, which is called Breathe. It's free as well. So I downloaded this app.
I started with Stop, Breathe and Think app on Monday since it was top rated and I will use it for 15 days and assess the app. I will then start trying Headspace, which has a 10 day start and then use it for 5 more days to see if I like this app as well.
That would be my 30 days to improve.

Week One: Meditation practice
I've been using Stop, Breathe and Think app for a week and I have to say that I feel a difference in my whole attitude.
I feel just generally good. I think meditation is a wonderful and easy way to feel good. How wonderful that this app has proven to me that you only need a few minutes a day to feel good. This past week I've spent 53 minutes meditating. Not too long out of the entire week for more inner calm.
The Stop Breathe Think app has a check in at the beginning to assess how you are feeling and then it recommends meditations for how you are feeling. You can also just look at the list of meditations, read the descriptions and choose the meditation that you would find most helpful.
The free meditations are about 6 minutes each and then you can purchase longer mediations if you want to go further. I haven't tried this yet, but I think I might try it in the future. I found it interesting that they had meditations by k.d. lang. It says, "Musician k.d. lang shares meditations that inspire her and have personally helped her deal with anxiety, the impact of fame and the opinion of others." You can buy her 5 meditations for $1.99.
