Curious if anyone invests in meditation apps. I tried to find free ones but it seems the time has come to get an annual or monthly subscription. Anyone feel strongly about calm vs headspace? I used headspace in the past but I’m open to any and all suggestions folks might have. Lately I’ve felt like this job is too much to not have some built in relaxation. TIA!

I love the Ten Percent app. They have several free options I think, so you can try it out before paying. Meditation is all about finding something that works for you, so don't give up if you don't find something you like right off the bat. Good luck!

I use Calm but only to get myself to sleep. I used it mostly post partum getting back to sleep after night wake ups. No ide about the other functionality but I listened to the Matthew M sleep story like 500 times lollllll

The gdpr one is bomb. I do this thing where I tell myself "Ok today is the day I finally listen to the entire 35 minute session" -- I conk out in under 10. I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping, like staying in bed awake for 3+ hours doing nothing but tossing and turning. GDPR man has saved my sleep.

I used headspace in school and I like it better than calm for overall meditation practices. My jobs gives us a free calm subscription so now that’s what I use and it’s fine
