Take a Chill---- the App

This last week I was on vacation with my cousin, and as with any two close friends do, we got to talking about everything thats going on in our lives right now; how stressful the thought of  going back to school is, her new move, boy troubles, the usual. And after a while, I remembered what I had blogged about last week, and was curious to know what she does to de-stress. She told me she used an app called "Take a Chill",  and out of curiosity (again), I had to buy it.  Its been about a week since then, but I just started to fool around with it a bit, and so far it seems pretty awesome. It has four parts to it, a "Stop/ Take a moment", which  is my favorite part because  I'm the kind of person who tends to get so caught up in my stress, and the app gave me some visuals and gestures that worked to calm me down. The other feature that I really like is the "Daily Activity", which is basically exactly what it says it is. For example, today's "to do" was appreciation. So, I had to say everything I appreciated about myself and my life, which was great because some times it's so easy to forget what you love and just get so lost in the in the stuff you hate. Its also has a great "Prep" or "Center Yourself"feature that allows you to almost meditate to release stress. The last feature the app has is a collection of songs, but unfortunately, I have not tried them yet. So, i'll have to save that for another time. Bottom line, while I like to do what I previously blogged about to de-stress, that doesn't everyone does. Therefore, the app provides a nice alternative method.
