Mentis- Six kinds of activity in Mentis: Meditate (guided audio), Journal, Read, Outdoor, Habits and Chat with Mimi.
- Each one is short, specific and tied to a skill from one of the plans.
- The guides below are real in-app activities you can try today.
What kinds of activities are in Mentis?
Meditate
Guided audio, 2โ10 minutes: breathing, body loosening, winding down, getting back to sleep. Examples: "Box Breathing, For When It Starts", "Winding Down, Guided".
Journal
Short, specific prompts rather than a blank page. Examples: "The 3 AM Thoughts, At 10 AM", "What The Critic Said, What A Friend Would Say".
Read
Two-minute reads that explain why something works, with real-life stories. Example: "Why Busy Days Give You Nothing".
Outdoor
Small steps away from the screen. Examples: "Step Out Between Meetings", "Lunch Away From The Desk, Outside".
Habits
The keystone of each chapter: one small daily action Mimi checks on. Example: "Up At My Set Time".
Chat with Mimi
Short check-in conversations about how a habit is going. Example: "Is The Finish Time Holding?".
Activities you can try right now
Two sighs (the physiological sigh)
Two inhales, one long exhale. The fastest breathing reset research has found.
๐คฒHand-on-belly breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing in three slow breaths. Good for bedtime and tense moments.
โณThe worry window
Give worries a 15-minute slot so they stop taking the whole day.
๐Brain dump before bed
Five minutes on paper so your mind doesn't do it at midnight.
๐The 3am thoughts, at 10am
Look at last night's worries in daylight. They're usually smaller than they felt.
โฐHide the clock
Clock-watching keeps you awake. Turn it away tonight.
๐๏ธThe get-up rule
Can't sleep? Get up, do something dull, come back when sleepy.
โ๏ธA fixed wake-up time
Fix the morning and the night follows. The strongest lever you have.
๐ฟWarm shower before bed
1โ2 hours before bed, it helps you fall asleep faster. Here's why.
๐Morning light
Daylight in the first hour tells your body clock when tonight should start.
โThe caffeine cut-off
Count back eight hours from bedtime. That's your last cup.
โIn my hands, not in my hands
Sort what you're carrying into two columns, and put one of them down.
๐ฌCritic vs friend
Catch one harsh sentence a day, and write the one a friend would get.
โThe good-enough rule
Can't decide? Set a bar and a deadline, then pick the first option that clears it.
๐ถStep out between meetings
Two minutes, two sighs, a far point. A reset that fits a packed calendar.
๐ปShut the laptop properly
Tomorrow's first step on paper, laptop closed, a short walk. Work ends when you say.
๐The small ask
Write three small asks and make one by voice. People say yes more than you expect.
๐ฑThe one message
One short message a day to one of three people. Nothing to say is fine.
๐ฃ๏ธSaying the real thing
Swap one "I'm fine" for one true sentence this week.
How do the activities fit together?
On their own, each activity is a useful tool. In the app, they come in an order. A Mentis plan has nine chapters, and each chapter mixes a short read on why, a guided audio or journal prompt, a small real-world step, and one keystone habit. Mimi asks about the habit in your daily check-in, so you can see which activities are actually helping. You'll find them in the daily activities section of the app.
Frequently asked questions
How many activities are in the Mentis app?
About 640 across the four plans: guided audio, journaling prompts, short reads, outdoor steps, habits and check-in chats with Mimi. Each plan uses the ones that fit its chapter.
Do I need the app to do these?
No. Every activity on this page is written so you can do it right now. The app adds the order, reminders, the audio versions and Mimi's check-ins to see whether it's working for you.
How long do the activities take?
Most take 2โ10 minutes. Some are habits you fold into something you already do, like getting up at a set time or closing the laptop with one line written down.
Which activity should I try first?
If you feel tense right now, try two sighs. If your mind is busy at night, try the brain dump before bed. If your sleep is all over the place, start with a fixed wake time.
