Thing 8: Health and Wellness

I recognized MapMyWalk - it is just like MapMyRun, which I have already used quite a bit.  This is a very helpful app that I would recommend to anyone.  Very user-friendly, and I just learned that it can connect to my fitbit.  (We get Amazon gift cards for all of the steps/mileage we log, through an incentive program with my husband's health insurance program!)

I decided to learn something new and download the Omvana app onto my phone.  I have been trying to be more "mindful" in everything I do, and I think this app will really help with that.  I especially like the "mixer" feature - pairing the ambient sounds with a person's voice leading me through the meditation.  Many of the tracks are free, but I see in the reviews that there are many paid-for tracks that people seem to love.  I see that "Balance and Heal" costs $.99, and it claims to be able to "balance the right and left sides of your brain so you can function at an optimal level."  I could certainly use some more balance!

I think I've found another "keeper" with this app.
