Good Morning,

AI-powered mindset tools are moving from the ‘future’ to the ‘right now.’ Millions use mindfulness or journaling apps with AI built in - not for therapy, but for next-level daily self-check-ins.

How it Works:

Try This:
Spend five minutes tonight with an AI journaling or wellness app (like Wysa or Mindsera). Don’t edit - just let your thoughts spill. See what question or gentle advice comes back. One user called her app “the only thing that really asks how I’m doing, daily.”
