Sceptical? Just try it. You’ll see.

If you’re anything like me, you probably find yourself

getting a little overwhelmed

having a stressed-out meltdown 

sometimes

every second day.

Running late? Missed the bus? Looming deadline? TIME TO FREAK OUT.

So yes, I was very sceptical when I heard about a website offering a quick meditation which promises to fix your life in one minute.

Meditation has never been my thang: I either a) fall asleep or b) panic because I can’t clear my mind enough to do the damn meditation designed to STOP panic properly.

Yes, I was sceptical.

And so I headed to the Pixel Thought website with plenty of eye rolls and even more doubt.

But you know what? It works. It ACTUALLY works.

The idea is simple: the visitor is met with some calming music and a screen full of stars, before being invited to type what is bothering them into a large circle in the middle of the page.

Puts it into perspective, doesn’t it?

Then, you are greeted with some words designed to put those everyday hassles into perspective:

As those calming words flash onto the screen, the bubble containing your stressful thought shrinks and fades.

Phew.

And then you’re left 60 seconds later, completely calm and serene (hopefully).

Deadlines? What deadlines?

How do you calm yourself down when you are feeling stressed?
