What can I say? I love gadgets! I got a new IPhone and have been looking for the “holy grail” of self help apps.

I’ve found a few but I’m sure there are more out there.

1. The Gratitude Journal $1.19

This app is a great habit to start if you don’t already do this. At the end of each day you get to give it a star rating and write down what you are grateful for. I’ve found it great because you can add pictures to help remember the day. It also has password protection.

2. Live Happy Free Trial

This is a free app. It’s based on scientific research that says doing the exercises in this app contribute to basically being happy. It has a gratitude Diary built in but it’s not geared up for daily entries. I think it’s important to do daily because invariably there will be what you’d consider a “crappy day” and if you can turn it around through being grateful for the things that were positive this will reduce the power of the crap. It has exercises like doing good deeds for strangers, calling people or catching up with people you should more often. There’s a place to write your goals, ideal future. It’s got it all. Also password protected.

3. SleepStream $2.49

This one is more than a bunch of nature sounds. It has a timer and different binaural beats so you can use it for energising, sleeping, meditating or even studying which is what I’m going to be using it for. Putting your brainwaves in the right state for learning have never sounded better.

I’ve also tried The Habit Factor but think Live Happy kind of does all this in the one app. A New Earth by Eckart Tole is just quotes from his book. Nothing really exciting there. I also downloaded Vision builder but without a password on it I’m not willing to get started.

If you know any great IPhone apps I haven’t mentioned please leave a comment or contact me through the contact form at Http://www.amindbodyandspirit.com
