Anyone who travels frequently for work knows that business trips can be stressful. Nowadays technology allows companies and traveling staff members ensure that their trips go as smoothly as possible.
Many studies show that additional to the regular stress drivers that business travels have to deal with, there are other circumstances that may arise like lost or delayed baggage, poor internet connection at a destination, flight delays, etc.
However, this is not yet taken into account when corporations, travel management companies, and consultants are addressing business travel. But as we said before, technology has all sorts of alternatives for us to balance business and our mental health.
We want to recommend these gadgets, tools, and apps perfect to help find your Zen center while traveling.
Lumosity
Just like any other muscle, your brain is a need to be used and worked out to strengthen and improve. That’s where Lumosity comes in. The “brain game” software and app, developed in collaboration with neuroscientists, provides daily exercises to strengthen and improve core capabilities of your brain, including memory, attention, speed, flexibility, problem solving and ignoring distractions.
Muse
This headband measures your brain’s activity in real time during meditation and collects data on each session. Muse tracks five different kinds of brainwaves, ranging from those associated with sleep to those associated with intense thinking or consolidation of information. The app then plots that session data for you in charts letting you know whether you were active, calm or neutral during the meditation session. The goal is that by making it easy to map and monitor your progress you will be better able to improve and more motivated to continue a regular practice.
Buddhify
Buddhify offers guided meditations for specific times of the day. Made by Rohan Gunatillake of Mindfulness Everywhere in the U.K., the app has meditations for when you are waking up, eating, traveling, dealing with pain or illness, trying to fall asleep and a dozen or so other situations.
Stress Balls
As simple as it sounds and old-fashioned stress balls are awesome for all ages and stress type. Everyone has a little stress in their life. Feel free to travel with it and be sure to have an extra one as for sure your co-workers will want to use it too.
