Technology has come a long way, and for those living during these times, we have all noticed that stress has become increasingly more problematic nowadays than it ever was before. The following are some helpful ways in how technology can be used to help with this a little.
This is in the form of apps that many can use since most people now have an iPhone or Android-based smartphone. I just want to remind you that these apps are no substitute for professional help. You can however give them a try.
1- Stop Negativity Feeling
What it costs: $1.99(iOS only)
What it helps with: Recording and analyzing your feelings
What it offers: Stop Negativity App helps you record your feelings (positive /or negative) towards everyday life. Then it helps you analyze what part of life you feel negative or positive about. It is surprising to see the data that you never thought existed (.i.e. what you feel good/bad about). It is good if you are positive about many things. For the areas which you are negative it is up to you to find reasons why you are being negative.

Users can record their own thoughts to help analyze and understand their thinking patterns, as well as discover and track possible triggers.
3- Breathe2Relax
