Must-Have Relaxing Games Apps
Feeling stressed and anxious? Why not ease your mind with a nice, relaxing game. Easy puzzles and other simple challenges can give you something distracting to focus on until you feel better.
Stressful times and spiraling negative thoughts call for a good distraction. By focusing on relaxing games, especially with iPhone or Android games on your phone, you can halt the cycle of anxiety no matter where you are or what you are doing and feel more at ease. Easy puzzles can challenge you just enough that your mind is occupied without being too overwhelming or chaotic. Often, these games are untimed so you don't have to feel rushed, and they provide hours of fun. You can even find games that have nice, meditative music in the background to further your relaxed state.
In fact, if you really want to achieve a meditative state, you can also find online meditation games that aim to help you clear your mind by focusing on your breathing and flow. These games are great for those who have trouble meditating due to distracting thoughts since games will give your mind something active to do and help to quiet down those inner voices. You can play before bed to get a good night's sleep or even during a 10-minute work break on a particularly stressful day to recenter and jump back feeling relaxed, refreshed and renewed.

Prune is my go-to app whenever I'm feeling anxious or notice a panic attack coming on. Just sitting down and growing and trimming some pretty trees for 5-10 minutes gives me something peaceful to focus on as I recenter and breathe.
