This isn't your typical mindfulness app. Refocus Now is a biblically & clinically based mental health, mindfulness and meditation app with therapeutic exercises designed for your personal emotional health needs. Including specific categories such as grief, identity & self worth, relationships, trauma, and more. We offer daily meditations with guided prayer. Affirmations from our therapists that provide encouragement for practical everyday situations. And journaling to help you process your thoughts & emotions. This is not therapy, but it can be a great supplement to therapy, providing helpful exercises. Work through self guided education, self analysis, visualizations, and breathing exercises related to various life issues. Start your day off with the right mindset by meditating to God's work by listening to our many biblical meditations, all under 10 minutes. Let our therapists pour words of affirmation into your life through videos that address practical everyday situations. Journal your thoughts on your daily emotions, or answer reflective questions that are assigned to some of the therapeutic topical exercises. While based on Christian principles and scriptures, this app can be helpful for both Christians who are walking in the faith or even those who are simply curious about Christianity. We believe that this app can help you to refocus on living in the now. And journey towards being the person that God created you to be.
