I have often been asked what I do to “digitally detox”, my answer is always the same. I don’t. Frankly, I can’t. Simply because I genuinely live online, my work more than requires it, and honestly I prefer to clear my email and Whatsapp messages while they are still manageable rather than switch off for a week and come back to an avalanche of notifications. But I have found a rather unorthodox way of finding my detox online. Here are a few of my favorite Apps to help you live better, some of which have been nominated by my wonderful Girl Tribe – a social community for women who want to live their best lives.
Fabulous
A super easy and fun approach to self-improvement. It actually offers you heaps of validation and encouragement simply for adopting little good habits! You pick a “journey” and inculcate habits as simple as drinking enough water every day, concentrating harder, or even improving your diet. It literally is a “choose your healthy and happy adventure.”
Calm
Calm is a simple, cool, and relaxing App to help you meditate and sleep better. It definitely does wonders in lowering stress, anxiety and helping you connect with your higher self.
Zen Koi/Starlight
Relaxing games where you grow your own Koi fish pond while nurturing a calming environment to enjoy with soothing music when you want to Zen out. Or build a butterfly garden set to soft soothing music.
Long walks
An App to get to know your friends and family better. Daily prompts help you strengthen relationships, improve your emotional well-being, and support each other with meaningful conversations.
Girl Tribe by MissMalini
Flipping Social Media on its head – where the likes don’t matter, YOU do. Plus you can earn Positivity Points and earn fabulous rewards and goodies! A safe space for judgment-free conversations enabling women to live their best lives.
