Calm also offers free resources such as a gratitude journal template, managing stress workbook, an intentional living calendar and so much more.

"Ten Percent Happier offers guided meditation that encourages you to ease into sleep, practice gratitude as you drift off, and dissolve your discomfort. For most sessions, you can choose the length from 10 to 45 mins."
