App
Feeling Good Teens
The Feeling Good Teens app offers audio tracks based on Positive Mental Training, a technique from Olympic sports coaching. Feeling Good Teens helps you to relax, calm your body and mind, and build a positive mindset.
What can you do in the Feeling Good Teens app?
The audio tracks have been designed specifically for young people. They use a variety of techniques, including breathing and positive visualisations. You can listen to the audio tracks however you find most helpful, but the creators recommend seeing whether it helps to listen to the same track every day for a week. The idea is that this helps the positive ideas and images sink in – like how an athlete might repeat a physical exercise to build strength and skill.
You can listen to the tracks whenever you like – as long as you’re somewhere safe, where it doesn’t matter if you fall asleep! Some people find it helpful to listen at night. It’s OK if your mind drifts or if you fall asleep as your mind will still absorb the positive messages – it might even be more effective to not pay too much attention.
How does the Feeling Good Teens app help?
The audios in the app combine relaxation, positive psychology, and Olympic Sports coaching. You can find out more about the approach on the Sorted Mental Health website.
