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.

Meet your thoughts
Seven days with the most well-tested tools from CBT and ACT, for those who get stuck in their heads. You learn to name feelings, catch thinking traps, step a little back from difficult thoughts, talk to yourself with some distance, give worry a bounded place, and calm the body. On the last day you meet the feeling under the thoughts with warmth. Not to think less, but so that thoughts steer you less.

The relationships week
Seven days of action for your relationships. You read the temperature, listen without giving advice, respond to other people's good news, map what has slipped and book in a contact, repair after a quarrel, give and receive concrete wishes, and take a step toward a relationship you have let drift. Not talk about relationships, but seven concrete steps.
