Unlike most other wellbeing apps, the Complete App is scientifically grounded which gave me the confidence to begin my 12-Mission self-development journey. The app has helped me understand how emotions impact my thinking and behaviour. I check in to the Universe of Emotions every day and it’s helping to increase my emotional literacy and to be more aware of the effect of my emotions on my behaviour in different situations. I have also found the E-Bank Skill a really simple way to actually see where your energy is disappearing to and coming from each day and figure out what to do about it. There are also plenty of easy-to-use dashboards, helpful practices, self-development resources and assessments that help me vertically develop.

I became, what I refer to as, ‘breath aware’ initially through an Indian Ayurvedic practitioner who suggested I “watch my breath twice a day for 20 minutes” to recover from a couple of accidents. I was sceptical, but somehow adhered to the breathing instructions and I realised after a year I noticed the difference. I had to understand why and I embarked on a journey of research I came across Dr Alan Watkins’ work, his concepts regarding coherence, emotions, energy – and life in general – blew my mind. And now my mind is somewhat more blown, with access to this wonderful new Complete app with practices that so succinctly explain and demonstrate how, as energetic beings, we can all become the best version of ourselves – individually and collectively.

Using the Complete App really made me think about the influence I have on others through my own emotions. I soon discovered that my own emotional state affects not just myself, but everything and everyone that I am around. This has really made me think about how the way I am feeling will affect how I am towards other people. I will now pause and reflect each time I feel myself getting to a point where I am lingering on negative emotions. I am also using the Complete App to help control my breathing. I use the breathing techniques within school lessons – especially whilst working with children with difficult behaviour and just needing to shut off background sounds/negative thinking. The skills on the Complete App are incredibly useful and work when put into practice. 

The Complete App has provided me with a coping mechanism that allows me to shift from one mood to another. Before using the app there were days I would come to work really stressed and anxious. I soon began to condition myself to believe that this was symptomatic of the job. I did not feel confident enough to describe my emotions to anyone and used to crack on working like a robot. But once I started to use the app I began to WAKE UP to my own emotional state and how much control I have over it.  I began to question why I was feeling this way and ask myself what I needed to do to shift my mindset. Without using the app I wouldn’t have been able to do this as I wouldn’t have the language to be able to.
