Mindfulness is more than just a buzzword, with mental health professionals even encouraging the practice as part of CBT, and Müse is a site that helps people to engage in [mindfulness exercises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mybreath) as part of their [daily routine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-step-towards). The app provides users with simple yet deep questions, forcing them to reflect on themselves and their lives while taking a few minutes to relax and contemplate.

Each day, Müse comes out with a new deep question. By [writing answers to those questions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mooddly), users can earn points and contribute to their streak of consecutive days, ultimately gamifying the mindfulness process. Users also have the option to save their answers so they can refer back to them whenever they want to reflect on their developments. Further, users can create and submit their own questions to the platform.
