Meditation and Happiness
Meditation. Yoga. Breathing exercises. Community service. Practices that have transformed millions of lives around the world, bringing happiness in their wake. Not a fragile, ephemeral happiness, but one based on a profound calm, a genuine sense of well being and a zest for life. A contagious happiness that allows us to be a positive influence on society. Practicing them daily, forming a habit, is very important - and also surprisingly difficult. We have our reasons - a lack of time, competing priorities, a million distractions.
The Power of Tracking
Fortunately, the first step towards a solution is surprisingly easy - tracking. Tracking helps in maintaining focus. It breaks down a nebulous idea into concrete, achievable steps. It frees the mind of clutter, emphasizes achievement and is fundamentally encouraging.
Our Solution - SixPackMind app
Enter SixPackMind - the first ever holistic mental fitness tracker. SixPackMind lets you track four actions that can transform your society - Meditation, Yoga, Breathing exercises and Community service. We built this app with the core values of simplicity and ease-of-use; our tracker is free of clutter and focuses on the essentials. Each action is represented by an icon - tapping indicates you’ve performed it. Rotating the phone to landscape brings up the stats screen, showing progress over the last 40 days. The combined score of these actions is used to determine the user’s avatar - which ranges from ‘baby yogi’ to ‘super yogi’ - as visual display of the user’s progress.
Sri Sri Ravishankar once said: “Any practice is a practice when it is done over a period of time without any gap, steadily, respectfully” -
We submit our app in honor of that ideal.
