You might not have considered it, but if you wear an Apple Watch, you have a helpful tool to help you relax and unwind on your wrist. Here are 4 methods to unwind and relieve tension using your Apple Watch. The heart rate sensor, ECG app, heart rate notifications, and activity monitoring are some of Apple Watch's most prominent health-related functions. However, Apple Watch can be used in a number of ways to unwind. Let's explore various Apple Watch relaxation choices that are inbuilt as well as some third-party apps.

4 ways to relax with Apple Watch

Mindfulness app

The Mindfulness app is pre-installed on watchOS. The Mindfulness app, formerly known as the Breathe app, has two choices: Reflect and Breathe. It's a straightforward yet incredibly well-made program that uses a tried-and-true method to ease stress and promote relaxation. The Breathe sessions record your heart rate and use pleasant haptics to indicate when to inhale and exhale. Additionally, during Reflect sessions, a lovely visualizer and a question are used to help you focus your energies. A light blue overlapping circle serves as the emblem for the Apple Watch's Mindfulness app. To get going, tap it. Go to the Watch app on your iPhone to configure the app's notifications, haptic feedback preferences, and other settings. By tapping the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the Mindfulness app, you can easily change the session length.

Meditate with Apple Watch

Headspace and Calm are two of the best-designed and reliable. Both offer a little amount of free content that must be subscribed to in order to access everything. An awesome feature of the Headspace Apple Watch app is a three-minute SOS meditation called "Feeling Overwhelmed" that you may access at any time. The App Store offers free downloads of Headspace and Calm. Here’s the science behind focused breathing to relax from Headspace: By changing the pace and pattern of our breathing, we can activate the parasympathetic nerve system of the body and start a soothing response that lowers our heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension.

Yoga or exercise

A wonderful choice is Daily Yoga, which provides both free and paid plans. Of course, you can also simply use the Apple Watch's built-in Exercise app to monitor a Yoga or Mind & Body workout and perform a series of self-guided stretches and poses. You might also engage in more strenuous exercise, such as a run, bike ride, HIIT session, or something else, to help you divert your attention from your stress and feel better as your endorphins start to release.

Music, background sounds, comedy

Don't overlook the power of music or background sounds if none of the aforementioned options sound appropriate at any given time. Play your favorite song or album on your Apple Watch. It's remarkable how quickly a song you connect with good feelings can bring you there and make worry melt away. If music isn't making you feel good, try listening to one of your favorite comedians or a background soundscape. Do you have a favorite alternative method of coping with stress?
