If you have been feeling stressed about your finances or life in general, find your inner calm with these free apps and tricks.
MEDI GOOD: If you have always wanted to give meditation a go, download the soothing Medito app for free.
It offers guided 30-day meditation session challenges for beginners, as well as sleep stories and courses on managing anxiety — all of which have been created by experts.
As a non-profit app, it has the added bonus of no subscription fees or adverts.

MINDFUL MOMENTS: Plum Village is another brilliant app to try.
It offers a range of gentle, guided mindfulness exercises and also teaches you short relaxation practices you can carry out anywhere.

SOUND IDEA: The Spotify free tier hosts a number of dedicated playlists on themes of meditation, sleep or calm focus, all designed to quiet your mind.
For instant calm, search for Weightless by Marconi Union.
The relaxing song was created in partnership with a researcher and sound therapists.
In a study by neuroscientists, participants solving puzzles while listening to it saw their stress and anxiety levels reduce by 65 per cent.

The app lets you build daily habits with expert-created exercises, use guided breathing for quick relief and track your mood.
