Smartphone has become part of our life, and we spend tremendous time on it. However, the more people stick to their phones, the more likely they are going to feel stress and anxiety, and this kind of addiction will increase the risk of developing mental health issues in the long run.
Unlike other aspects of health, mental health can be easily neglected. With constant pressure and without a proper way to release stress, people are putting their mental health at risk.
Breathe in Nature is a concept app that helps people develop a more mindful lifestyle and reduce stress through breathing exercises.

Taking deep breaths is beneficial to people, and it is the simplest way to stay mindful and reduce tension. Breathe in Nature can guide people through different types of breathing exercises with visual guides and vibration.
Humans have a deep connection with nature, and reconnect with nature has been proven to reduce the stress level. This app lets people enjoy natural sound while taking deep breaths.
Not only natural sounds can help alleviate stress. For most people, green is strongly associated with nature. As a result, it is often considered a relaxing and refreshing color. The main color of the app is green, which can further create a stress-free scenario.
Sending the right cues at the right time is the first and the most important step for the CREATE funnel (Cue, Reaction, Evaluation, Ability, Timing).
Breathe in Nature collects information, like pickup frequency, noise level, and scrolling speed, etc. to determine the stress level of the users, sending the right breathing cues to people when they need to blow off steam.
This can create positive feedback and foster users' behavioral change, helping people adapt to a more mindful lifestyle.
Keeping track of mindful minutes can enable people to be aware of their own mental states. People can understand their behavior more thoroughly with these records. They can also modify their daily goals to fit their needs.
If people continue to hit their daily goals, they will get an achievement badge as rewards. This can also create positive feedback and encourage people to persevere.
