Voicely App is helping with my mindfulness

[Dan The Man]

I have always had a difficult time with mindfulness just inside my head; I have OCD and ASD, and my brain is a noisy, cluttered place. It seems to help me focus if I am speaking aloud, since I can center myself in the sound of my own voice rather than getting pulled in every direction by my thoughts.

It’s hard to just talk aloud to myself though. But I recently found a social media app called Voicely where you record your voice instead of typing, and I’ve been posting my meditations there. It’s really helped me out, and I’ve even met some cool people this way who gave me great insights for my spiritual journey. I highly recommend it! Does anyone recommend any apps or other methodologies to help with mindfulness and mental help?

I've seen the app "Calm" promoted various times and recommended. I think I tried it once and after I got over what I was going through I decided to delete the app. There are so many apps like this on the app store I'm sure that it's unreal. Like they always say, there's an app for that!

I liked the Calm app as I found parts of it helpful for my students as well. I like the videos that make you kind of sit in silence and just listen to the sounds in the video. Those were always calming.

Voicely sounds like an interesting app! I have never heard of it!

Headspace is the most common one, it's fairly pricey but there are a couple of free sessions on there..

I was also recommended the '5 Minute Journal' app back when I had counselling, though I never committed to doing it myself.
