Headspace

The soothing/slightly sexy voice inside the Headspace app will be your new best friend – or maybe slightly weird crush – once he’s saved you from having a full on breakdown.

The freebie version has ten 1-minute breathing exercises – just long enough to take a break and come back with a fresh brain. Stick in your headphones and let the app transport you to a world where essays and tests are a thing of the past. Aaaaah bliss.

Digipill

If you’ve got yourself a banging headache from revising way too hard, before you reach for meds you should give Digipill a try. This app is all about meditating your troubles away with a selection of ‘pills’ that are specifically tailored for different problems.

Build up your cabinet and treat your anxiety, aid your motivation or boost your confidence with what's basically the cheapest therapy going.

THE COMPANY GUIDE TO DRESSING FOR SUCCESS

Stresspopper

Who doesn’t love the weirdly satisfying feeling that comes from popping bubble wrap? Nobody, that’s who, and with the Stresspopper app its like you’ve got bubble wrap on tap. The graphics will even make you think you’re popping the real thing!

Okay maybe not, but it’s a bit of silliness that’ll take your mind off things. And it’s a totally eco-friendly alternative.

5-Minute Yoga

Exercise alone will help you to de-stress, but going for a run or to the gym when you’ve already got s much to do is hardly going to be relaxing. All you need with 5-Minute Yoga is a bit of floor space, and maybe a bit of flexibility, and you’re good to go.

Hold each position for one minute and that aching back you’ve got from hunching in front of your laptop will be cured.

Stresstoy

This sort-of-a-game was designed for the sole purpose of distracting you from reality, and although it’s pretty pointless, it might be just what you need to stop pulling your hair out.

There’s no aim to Stresstoy and no flappy bird-esque frustration. Just play around with the cubes to make patterns out of stars and butterflies and other pretty things and let you worries fade away.

Daily Quote

If all else fails then at least help yourself along with an inspirational or motivational quote at the start of every day. Believe in yo’ self!
