Finding What Works: Wellness Apps

Wellness Apps: There are plenty of wellness-based mobile apps out there to go around, some more helpful than others. While this is not a complete list, here are a few of my favorites that have helped me with my wellness habits. If incorporating an app into your wellness routine becomes burdensome or just another task you have to remember, chances are that you’re probably best without it as an app shouldn’t be adding another stressor to your life. What works for one person won’t always work for another, so the important part is to try out an app to see if it works for you. The ultimate goal in using a wellness app is for improvement or betterment to your well-being. Apps won’t solve your wellness problems but the wonderful world of technology has certainly made it easier to stay on track and motivated.
