Cynical but not anymore

I was told about Lotus Bud at the Mid Valley Pain Clinic in Salem, Oregon. I downloaded the app and then forgot about it. My second week at the clinic I was reminded to utilize the app this week and I have to say it has been amazing. It reminds me to relax and to breath. With chronic pain it is easy to have shoulders to your ears or a wince in your face without realizing it. Having reminders to check your breathing and see where you most notice it gives you awareness that reinforces the goal of controlling the reaction to the pain. I can’t control what is causing it but I can control my reaction to it. Thank you Lotus Bud

This app ticks off almost all of the boxes. Simple interface, the bells work even in silent mode (the phone vibrates instead of rings), and there's a quiet period seeing. The only gripe is that the app has to be reactivated every few days. This is actually a bigger issue than it seems for beginners like me—it's too easy to ignore or forget about the reminder to reactivate the app, so you miss out on the mindfulness reminders until the user remembers. I forgot to reactivate for a few months even.

Simple to use and very helpful for breathing reminders. Two small suggestions to make the app even better. Create a setting that allows for sleep where it turns off and back on at selected time frames. And for the frequency settings identify the time intervals between bells.

I have mine set for the most reminder bells to remember to keep my shoulders down, take a breath and ground. This app is super helpful! By the end of the day there is definitely a difference. Only thing I’d change is the fact that it turns off all the time. Not sure why but when I notice I haven’t heard it in a while I just turn back on.
