Feel calmer in 5 minutes. The 5-Minute Mental Reset guides you through a simple, science-backed routine: 2 minutes of breathing exercises followed by 3 moments of gratitude reflection. That's it. No lengthy sessions, no complicated techniques, no subscriptions. Why it works This app was designed by Sam Liberty, a gamification expert who spent years building mental health features for digital therapeutics companies. The breathing patterns and gratitude exercises are based on clinical research showing that slow, diaphragmatic breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system, while gratitude practice interrupts the rumination cycle that drives anxiety.
