Here are my recommendations to feed your mind, body, and soul.

Mind: Lumosity

Doing a 10-minute mental work out can't hurt. I haven't cared enough to see how conclusive any of the studies are regarding the science behind Lumosity, but I can feel the difference. This app also a replacement for the unhealthy, time wasting, video games I gave up a few years ago. It gives me a chance to get my competitive fix on, pitting me against brains in my age group. The app also provides a bit of a morale booster as well because your improvement is easily seen via the progress charts.

Body: 7-Minute Workout

There are a few secrets to my six-pack. I put the right amount of good things into my body, and I keep fit with simple calisthenics. The key is having a virtual personal trainer helping you out. For those of you who spend an hour at the gym, you are probably wasting a lot of time. Go hard for seven minutes with this app, and I bet you will find it comparable to the hour you spend in the gym.

Soul: Mindfulness

For about a year, I have been meditating on a consistent basis. As a newbie, I still enjoy the guided meditations found in the Mindfulness app. It keeps track of how much meditation I have done, and it provides me with reminders to do it. For me, meditation helps keep chaos at bay and my soul at ease.

Bonus: Meet all three with Tinder

Tinder is a people-connecting app that can possibly help with all three. Mind, body, and soul might be taken care of if you find that special someone. Tinder connects you with locals with a mutual interest in setting up a meeting. This app is great if you’re travelling and don't want to eat alone. Hop on Tinder and find a dinner date!
