How to deal with turbulent times

Tools  to maintain emotional health

For most people, recent years have been rough. Turbulent times might shake your emotional health loose, unless you take control. Here are the apps that might help. 

Curate your news

We know that reading news is a huge trigger for many people. So don’t get us wrong, we don’t recommend a news reader so you can consume even more worrisome information. We recommend taking control of your feed, which will help you only attend to the news outlets you trust. 



Grab News Explorer to curate your RSS feed and make it your primary source of information. This is how you won’t let fake news and media manipulation affect your mental health. News Explorer also conveniently lets you combine your trusted media with select Twitter accounts within one feed.

Set aside some time to self-reflect

What do you do when you realize you feel angry all the time? You dive deep and analyze. Mental Walk is an app that guides you through your personal journey of self-reflection, using prompts focused on inner peace, productivity, relationships, and other spheres of life. There’s also space for self-guided reflection, which will be useful if you need to record whatever’s on your mind.



Don’t underestimate journaling

Putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) is therapy in itself. If you’re ready to spend a few minutes every day to process your emotions — both positive and negative — you’ll soon notice the benefits, among which improved mood, reduced anxiety, and more. 



Ready to try? Diarly is a great tool to get started. It has prompts, lets you attach audio recordings and files, and even import your calendar and weather. If you want to keep your diary locked, for obvious reasons, Diary has secure encryption.

Hope this how-to will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more use cases picked for you below.
