Your phone doesn't have to be a source of stress (emails, messages). It can be a first-aid kit. Anti-stress games use psychological mechanisms to lower heart rate and quiet the mind.
What Games to Choose?
- Puzzles: They engage logical thinking, distracting from anxiety.
- "Zen" Games: Focused on aesthetics, with no goal or pressure (e.g., planting virtual trees).
- Simulators: "PowerWash Simulator" – the satisfaction of cleaning and organizing.
