Cactus - Boost your mood and emotional intelligence in one minute

People are stressed out and turning to meditation for help. But meditation isn’t for everyone. Cactus combines guided reflection prompts, a private journal, and intimate sharing to help you live a more fully actualized life. And it’s free.

Hey Product Hunters! We wanted the benefits of meditation – less anxiety, more calm focus, improved presence – but we each struggled with the actual practice of meditation. We figured there was a better way to practice mindfulness. After working with a positive psychology expert, we built Cactus. - Boost your mood and improve your focus - Guided self-reflection and mindful exercises - Private journal for your private thoughts Cactus provides a daily minute of mindfulness to help you focus on the positive themes in your busy life. Boost your mood and increase your emotional intelligence with Cactus!

Lidia Klingenberg
This is great! I can't get myself into meditation... I know it gives great long term benefits but it can't beat the immediate satisfaction that writing out a happy memory or reading a uplifting quote does :D I will try this out, thanks
Ryan C Brown
@lidiaklingenberg That's the same experience we had, Lidia. So happy to hear you're into it!
Liam Roberts

@anu_jose1 So happy to hear you think so!
Dominik Sobe
Wow, love it. Beautifully designed and the execution seems to be very smooth too! I often find myself thinking about starting a journal, however, it just seems to be too much time effort for me. The concept of cactus makes it really efficient and fun to use it. Thank you guys!
Ryan C Brown
@sobedominik Thank you so much for sharing this, Dominik. That has been our same experience.
