About this app

MyWorryStone brings an ancient practice of reflexology to your mobile device!

Use a virtual worry stone to wipe worries from your mind and see the worry fade before your eyes.

Worry stones ease the nervousness of a stressful situation and soothe anxiety. Rubbing an object with your thumb releases endorphins to enter a state of calmness and focus. Popular toys like fidget spinners, cubes, and stress balls use similar patterns to deter negative or distracting thoughts.

Step 1. Identify your worry
Write out your worry and define its intensity; A somewhat counter-intuitive idea, but studies have demonstrated expressive writing helps to reduce rumination and can improve exam scores (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6014/211.full).

Step 2. Set your worry's intensity
How worrisome is your worry? Your worry will take longer to wipe away the more worrisome it is.

Step 3. Select your stone
Will it be the calming rhythmic frequencies of Amethyst or the mysterious transformative properties of Labradorite? Choose between five (5) types of stone.

Step 4. (S)wipe away
Simple tasks or even slight movement can disrupt negative thinking and liberate critical working memory. Rub your display to feel the smoothness of a polished river rock; watch as your worry fades away.

Complete! Reward through inspiration
An inspirational quote to combat worrying will be rewarded as your worry has been faded.

Ratings and reviews

It is a really good app. It helped me to get rid of my worries.

I recently found myself absently rubbing my phone screen and suddenly wondered if there were any worry stone apps and found this. I really like it. However I wish it were easier to choose a stone, perhaps with a menu of some sort. I also wish that when it finishes that I could turn off the vibration, and maybe use a simple sound instead, as I find the vibrating of phones very unnerving.

Gorgeous UI design, a very neat and uncluttered app, and the worry stone element is very satisfying to use. Really enjoyed playing with the app, look forward to using it in the future and seeing how the app develops!
