After watching Ruby Watch decode all your mental health questions you might be wondering, what's mindfulness?
She describes it as a way of managing your own mental health.

The majority of the Society members are busy and always on-the-go, struggling to find an hour for their lunch break, let alone sit down and meditiate.
So we've compiled a list of the three best mindfulness apps which you can use to get some headspace during your commute or at your desk.
Three apps for mindfulness
If you’re a mindfulness newbie, want to do some guided meditation or join a community of people trying to be more present, these are the apps for you:
This app is great for beginners as it offers guided meditations, starting at just 3 minutes long which break down and simplify the 'what' and 'how' of mindfulness.
Looking to do more than just meditate? Calm is a great all-rounder.
From listening to relaxing sounds while you read your emails to bed-time stories for the insomniacs, this app will have you present and calm throughout the day.
Do you struggle with switching off auto-pilot?
The app created by our Honorary Fellow Chris Barez-Brown helps you realise those moments where you are truly present, capture them and share them with the WakeUp! community. Immersing mindfulness with your everyday life.
