There is no shortage of wellness related apps out there, but the Headspace app will make you feel happier now. The health-boosting app is developed by YouBeauty Meditation Expert Andy Puddicombe, who believes strongly in the importance of a relaxed mind. The mindfulness app makes meditation simple so users can train their minds too.
The iOS application focuses on meditation, which is proven to promote positive thinking and improve happiness when you intentionally focus on kindness and love. Described as a gym membership for your mind by Refinery29, the Headspace app offers a free 10 day trial (the Take10 program) that teaches you the basics of meditation in only 10 minutes a day. After that you pay for a subscription to get access to hundreds of hours of meditations.
