Calmer days

Seven days with the most well-tested tools against worry and stress. You learn to wind the body down within minutes, ground yourself in the present when your thoughts race, examine catastrophic thoughts, give worry a bounded place, approach what you avoid in small steps, and read up on your stress response. On the last day you meet yourself with warmth. Not to never feel worry, but so that it steers you less.

How it works

One exercise, session or article per day for 7 days. You go at your own pace — the app remembers where you are, and you can pause and restart whenever you want.
