Sometimes, all we need to de-stress is take a few deep breaths. Created by the National Center for Telehealth and Technology, this app teaches users how to do diaphragmatic breathing (read: breathe down into the low belly).
There are educational videos on the stress response, logs to record stress levels, and customizable guided breathing sessions.
