Apple Celebrating 'Mindful Month' With October 10 Apple Watch Activity Challenge

[MacRumors]

Apple will hold a new "Mindful Month" Apple Watch Activity Challenge that is set to take place on October 10. It is meant to bring awareness to caring for mental health.

Let's bring awareness to all the ways we can take care of our mental health. On October 10, record 10 mindful minutes with any app that adds to Health to get this award.

Like all Activity Challenges, the Mindful Month event will come with animated stickers that can be used in the Messages app.

Mindful Month appears to be a new addition to the Apple Watch Activity Challenge lineup. Apple's last Activity Challenge took place in August for National Park Day.

What apps add Mindful Minutes to Health other than the Mindfulness app on the Apple Watch?

I better set a reminder to do this. If I don't get those cool stickers, my mental health is going to suffer.

Any meditation apps generally. You have to give them permission first.

Does the Mindfulness app on Vision Pro count, or contribute towards this award's goal? I'll have to test, but I don't think it does...

10 minutes!?
I would not need to be mindful if I had that 10 minutes to spare! [/sarcasm]

my advice for mental health:

skip the news, fast food and social media.

who needs an app for that?

You might want an appetizer if you skip fast food.

Hello bot, I’d suggest running these type of articles on the day of the event, by October 10th I’ll have long forgotten about it and miss out on the challenge.

I wonder if doing 10 minutes of yoga will count 🧘‍♀️

 

[jonshort81]

Very Demure...

The first thing I do when I get a new watch is uninstall the mindfulness app lol.

 

[klasma]

My mind is already full.

I might go for a mindempty month, however.

The stickers look good! Up for the new challenge.

I came here to post how silly stickers are. I don't believe I've ever used one of them in the years they've been out. 😄

Seriously though, Apple needs to do a better job of reminding us these things are there. There is no way I'm going to remember this is an event 8 days from now.

How?

 

[madrigal77]

How?

Same as an iPhone. Go into the app view and hold down the icon of the app you want to uninstall. Once it goes into "wiggle mode" click the small x at the top to uninstall.

 

[match14]

Thanks I never knew that was a thing, but now you explain it it’s so obvious.

 

[xxFoxtail]

How do I actually get the reward? I completed the task.

Edit: It eventually went through and I got it.

Annnnnnd I missed it again, is it too much for Apple to send us a little reminder the day of on our watches? People that don’t read sites like MacRumors would have no clue and miss all of these.

And now I’m depressed, thanks Tim!

 

[B4U]

Damn it, I missed it again!
Why can't Apple send the reminder on the day of the event instead of a day ahead FFS!!

I’ve started putting these special challenges on my calendar. It’s the only way I can remember them.

Yup same here.

It's really stupid how Apple notifies you a week(s) ahead of time then forgets about it themselves on zero day.
