App recommendation: Headspace for dads

M

Dec 161 min read

Not affiliated with them or whatever but I've been using Headspace for anxiety management for like 5 months and it's legitimately helped. I do a 10-minute meditation in the car before I go into work and it's like a reset button. They have specific guided meditations for dad stuff (dealing with frustration, being present with kids, etc). Way cheaper than therapy and good supplement if you're already seeing someone. Just my experience tho.

Headspace converted me too but I use it more for sleep. The sleep stories are legitimately good. Wasn't expecting that to actually work but here we are

10 minutes before work is the sweet spot. I tried doing 20 and got in my own head about it. Short and consistent beats long and sporadic.

The car meditation thing is genius. I'm gonna steal this. Do you do it on the same days or literally every work morning?

This is actually a solid recommendation. I've been meaning to get back into meditation and hearing it's helping with work anxiety specifically is helpful. Did you have to try other apps first or did Headspace just click?
