Fans of the previously mentioned Mindbloom Life Game, which rewards you with levels and points for doing healthy, positive things for yourself, will love the Bloom app for the iPhone, which helps you stay motivated on the go, get quick activities to help you keep going through a tough day. The app picked up a major update today and now allows you to use your own music and photos to build custom reminders to eat lunch away from your desk, connect with your loved ones, relax and de-stress over the course of the day.
Bloom works a lot like a portable version of the Mindbloom Life Game, reminding you to take small steps over the course of the day to stay happy, productive and stress-free. The app allows you to “plant blooms” over the course of your day so you get push notifications when it’s time to take a break, eat a healthy snack, reach out to a friend or family member to reconnect or say hello, or enjoy a short audio or photo presentation designed to help you stay inspired.
Those experiences can be downloaded through the app, or, thanks to today’s update to the app, you can remix your own music and photos into an inspiring motivational message to keep you going through a tough day. So if soothing music and nature photos are up your alley, you can do that, but if thumping beats and courage wolf are what keeps you going when the world wants to beat you down, you can have that too. Whatever you build, you can set the app to pop them up at strategic times during the day, or you can share them with friends on Twitter or Facebook to give your friends a boost too.
Bloom is completely free, and iOS only. You can grab the app in the iTunes App Store.
