Great relaxation/calming app for students

My overall opinion about this application is that he can help a lot of students keep up with school because it can help students break down any barriers that may be holding them back from achieving their academic goals. I know that myself while in middle school I struggled with time management and if this app was around during my time I would have found ways of self organization and scheduling my day to finish tasks on time. What I liked about this app is that it can be used for students of all ages and even after they’ve left any academic institution and begin to live their adult lives.

With a collection of soothing graphics, narrations, and background music, students are able to recieve the ideal meditative experience. This experience is great to be paired with days in which testing is involved, as the encouraging prompts provided with the collection of background pictures, such as a forest or beach, can aid students in reducing their stress, as it is a form of meditation. The app is better suited for older age groups, as I believe younger children will tend to become distracted by the images displayed on the screen ahead and fall into day dreaming. For the older age groups, such as high schoolers, utilizing such an app will help train them to relax and avoid stress when it comes to examinations, something that can majorly help them when it comes time to take some major tests, such as the SAT and AP examinations. For the younger age groups, I believe incorporating "Calm" into a morning meditation routine is a great method to utilize meditation in the classroom, while avoiding distraction as compared to if it was done simultaneously to independent work.

This teaching tool is excellent for professors and students to ease tension in classroom settings. Most of the free exercises seem to be less than 15 minutes, so this can be used prior to an exam and/or for professors and students to do on their own time. I liked how right when you open the app, it requires you to focus on how your feeling, and realize what areas you may need self-improvement in. Soothing nighttime sounds played while I navigated the application. The exercises require "Mood Check-Ins", so you will be able to figure out if an exercise really worked for you. An area that can be improved on is the amount of free exercises can be increased.
