NHS Approved App: Feeling Good - Positive Mindset

We love this app and really think that it can help during recovery during and after a stay in intensive care.

Relax your body and mind with a series of audio tracks designed to help you build confidence, energy and a positive mindset.

Feeling Good uses relaxation, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and resilience building techniques from sport to help improve positive feelings, self-esteem and self-confidence.

To get you going, the app offers 4 free audio tracks combining soothing music with gentle coaching.  The main offering is the 12-track Positive Mental Training audio programme, which is available as an in-app purchase. This programme has been used by the NHS in Edinburgh for the last 12 years to help recovery from stress, anxiety and depression.

The app allows you to set reminders to listen to the tracks, as repeated listening is believed to build resilience and help reinforce the skills learned in the programme.

Feeling Good is available on the App Store and Google Play.
