thanks @AesopWaits

This is great @AesopWaits ! thanks for sharing 😊 I love this example of ways you can use your phones to help - like some of the apps out there for breathing or maybe you make sure you follow a lot of positive anxiety content on social media for instance.

Are there any other tips around how you use your phone to be helpful to you when having hard times?

Hi Lauz!

thanks for the response, i actually think my phone has sort of become my go to for breaking negative thought patterns and positive reinforcements.

Just calming music in general (whatever that may be to you, we're all different) sometimes my calming music can be pretty aggressive heavy metal, sometimes more downtempo/ambient stuff.

Crosswords and solitaire games give me a welcome distraction from my negative thought patterns and can help to "reset" when in tough situations.

Great question! interested to see if anyone else has some handy smartphone strats
