With the world becoming increasingly aware of how important self-care is to one’s mental health, in comes this fantastic app called Finch. Complete small mindful tasks to help your finch grow! As the new year pushes us towards transformation and positive change, choose yourself this year and make these priorities for yourself while growing this cute little finch.
This has been done before through fitness apps with virtual pets, but nothing close to assisting with your mental health. It actually does not take much to take care of yourself, all you need is consistency and motivation. Everyone knows what is good for them, it’s just that life gets in the way and it is hard to find the motivation to get you back on track. Now, with Finch, you can! Complete little tasks that range from anything like washing your face to a full-on yoga class, it even stretches the extra mile to recognise good deeds like buying coffee for a stranger.
The game starts with an egg. After selecting a colour, the egg hatches into a “birb”. Start adventures or simply complete tasks to watch your finch grow into a toddler and then an adult. Acknowledging that there may be something not quite right could be a good start down the road of self-improvement. The Finch app allows you to take several quizzes including ones for depression and anxiety, more for you to check in on yourself, and possibly act on a problem should there be one.
Testimonials from users have come pouring in with positive feedback, sharing their tales of enlightenment and their different wellness journeys.
“Finch helps me to get out of bed and actually accomplish the things my depression does not allow,” one user wrote. “I have a bird named Juniper, so getting little reminders from my Finch named Juniper makes me feel like she’s encouraging me.”
Another user, who has struggled to find the right medications and therapists for years wrote that at first they were sceptical that an app could help, but in the end, they were ‘pleasantly surprised.’
Allow this little finch to be part of your daily life and allow this year to be a year focused on you. Download Finch for free from the App Store or Google Play today!
