Breathing helps to ground you and pulls you deeper into your inner self.

Building Self Awareness | Automatic Writing

Building Self Awareness | Automatic Writing

A great tool for when you feel stuck, as we just need to look internally to find the answers we’re looking for.

  • Have a notebook or journal handy.
  • Ask yourself: “What do I need to know today?”
  • Listen for the answer and write it all down.

Try not to think too much about what you are writing, but let your pen flow across the page without editing, judgment, or guilt.

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.

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

Sean Green

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

Ashley Anthony

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!

Jamyson Haug

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

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!

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.
