PSA: Downloaded this app called Calm and it's actually worth it

Jan 5·1 min read

Not an ad or whatever but genuinely surprised by how much I'm using it. Has specific meditations for parents/stress and some are literally like 5 minutes so I can do them during my commute. $70/year seems expensive until you realize you're paying for mental health and I'll spend that on coffee in 2 months anyway. There's also one specifically for angry parents which lmao hits different.

Tried Calm for three weeks and went back to free YouTube videos. Not saying it's bad but the interface felt clunky to me. Glad it's helping you though.

I've been meaning to try this. How long did it take before you actually saw a difference in your mental state? I'm skeptical about apps but if it's actually working for you maybe it's worth the money.

How much are you paying per month for the full version? The free version seems fine for me so far but wondering if the premium stuff is actually worth it.

Which meditations are you using? The ones for sleep or more like general anxiety stuff? Looking for something I can do right before bed.

Same here. Got the family plan and now my wife is using it more than me. Best money I've spent in a while honestly.

This. People discount meditation apps but they're legitimately useful when you actually stick with them. I do the 10-minute ones on my commute.
