Having trouble sleeping? Tired of being in a very stressful environment? Dealing with anxiety? Sometimes, what we need is a time to relax and nothing can be a more perfect way to unwind ourselves than traveling to a peaceful destination. However, traveling is something we cannot always achieve because of our work commitments and other inescapable obligations. Interestingly, we can now achieve such kind of meditation even without traveling. Calm is a very unique app that provides meditation programs that help you lower your stress and your anxiety level. It is also an effective meditation app that helps you get into sleep using its huge library of sleep stories and relaxing music. Interestingly, Calm is a perfect mindfulness app for beginners, but also includes hundreds of programs for intermediate and advanced users.

How Calm app works?

Using the Calm app is simple and easy. In just a few quick taps on your mobile screen, you can already embrace the app’s main features. It is important to mention though that Calm is not a free app, but it comes with a seven-day free trial that allows you to experience its amazing meditation programs. To get started, simply download the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Before you can use Calm, you’ll be prompted to read and agree to the app’s privacy policy. You will also be asked to sign up for an account. Once done, the app will then ask you to set your goal. Initially, there are three goals to choose from: Increase Happiness, Reduce Anxiety, and Better Sleep. Select all those that apply to you, then tap ‘Continue’.

Creating an account is optional during the seven-day free trial but it would be necessary when you decide to avail of their plans after the trial period. The app will then ask a few more questions to tailor your experience, including whether you’re interested in meditation so they can recommend a perfect program to reach your goal more effectively. Programs are divided up by days (most are seven days long, so you can try a full one during your free trial) and teach your practical tips that will help you stay calm, manage your stress levels and cope with difficult situations. The home screen of the app will give you quick access to many available tools, programs, and activities including daily Calm mindfulness exercise, a selection of relaxing music, a set of two-minute lessons, mental fitness guides, sleep stories, and guided meditations, and many more.
