Notice how objects feel

Notice how objects feel

Take an object from your home and focus on its texture, touching it as if for the first time.  Notice how the experience feels right now, as you interact with it.
You could also work with an inner feeling, directing awareness to a part of your body, noticing what sensations are present.

Hearing, smelling, and tasting anew

Hearing, smelling, and tasting anew

Take your attention in turn to three everyday objects in your environment that you can hear, smell, or taste (for example, the ticking of a clock, a flower, a piece of fruit). 

Let go of expectations, and instead allow your senses to lead you into the direct experience of hearing, smelling, or tasting itself.

Stuck in old habits

Stuck in old habits

When life begins to feel repetitive, it's a sign you've gotten stuck in old habits.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
