Taking care of your mental health might look huge. Booking a therapy session, going there all nervous, and doing hard work exploring past trauma. The good news is that it shouldn't be as draining as it used to be, thanks to Breeze Wellbeing.
Designed to make emotional self-care more accessible, the Breeze app offers a plethora of features. With thousands of Breeze Wellbeing reviews, the app quickly becomes a go-to resource for anyone seeking understanding.
How to start using the app? This guide shows how to take the first steps with the app, what to expect when logging in, and which tools to try first.
Breeze сurrently has over 10 million downloads with average ratings of 4.0+ stars. Trustpilot reviews of Breeze Wellbeing highlight the app's quick and intuitive design [1]. Some users share that they use it as their only mental health tool, while others combine it with professional therapy.
In the reviews, a small proportion of users shared that they needed more guidance in the beginning. This guide will break down the process of downloading the Breeze app and registering there. Find step-by-step instructions below.
Breeze Mental Health is accessible on almost any smartphone. You can download Breeze from both the App Store and Google Play. Search for "Breeze: Start Self-Discovery."
Hesitant to try Breeze? Before downloading, you can try some of the app's features, such as self-discovery tests, on the Breeze Wellbeing's official website. From there on, you will also get an opportunity to download the app.
Breeze is a self-discovery app that can be found in the "Lifestyle" section on both iOS and Android devices. It's also available in three languages: English, Spanish, and German. To ensure the app's proper functioning, make sure your operating system is updated.
After launching the app, you'll be prompted to create an account. There are multiple options:
The Breeze Wellbeing reviews indicate that most users choose one-tap login with either Google or Facebook accounts. This eliminates the need to remember another password and simplifies future logins.
Unfortunately, the current version of the Breeze app (version 3.3.0) doesn't support anonymous mode. This may or may not be connected to the data storage options.
Once inside the app, Breeze Mental Health asks a few non-intrusive questions to personalize your experience. These include:
Note: These questions may not be mandatory if you choose one-tap login.
You successfully set up the Breeze app. Next, you will be shown a short welcome tour and then taken to the homepage. You can either explore the free version of the app or start a free trial. We recommend doing the latter because that's how you will know whether the features will meet your expectations.
In addition to the main features, you can get achievements for tests completed and complete mental wellness tasks to keep the streak running. Now that you're all set up, let's look at what to try at Breeze first.
Once you've registered and explored the Breeze dashboard, you might wonder where to begin. Exploring freely and navigating it intuitively, or following this instruction, is up to you. But if you prefer some extra guidance, read through the following sections.
Here are three features to try first to get a grip on the Breeze app. Each one serves a different purpose: tracking your mood, reflecting with a journal, and self-assessing with insightful tests.
Mood tracking is one of Breeze Mental Health's most popular features. It also serves as a base for the next features. For example, the more often you log your mood, the more detailed and genuine analytics on your well-being you will get.
Mood tracking consists of these parts:
From Breeze Wellbeing reviews, we learned that the best times to track mood are in the morning and evening. However, this habit is fully adjustable. You can set reminders and daily tasks to log your emotions as frequently as needed.
Daily journaling in the Breeze app consists of three types: Foster Gratitude, Calm Anxiety, and Release Worry. Users can choose whether they will reflect on all three types daily, but even completing one prompt will save them the streak.
Foster Gratitude allows for reflecting on positive events during the day, even if those were the smallest things. Some examples of questions include:
Reflecting on positive events is critical to one's mental wellness. Because of evolution, people have learned to recall negative, sad, and dangerous memories more vividly [2]. That's why small wins get lost easily, and big wins might not seem as big as they were.
Calm Anxiety prompts in Breeze Wellbeing allow, surprisingly, to calm anxiety. A user can be asked to recall when they felt triggers, what situation in the past felt similar, and physical reactions to these events.
These prompts are trauma-informed and designed to nudge emotional honesty without overwhelming. They also help people find support within themselves and develop self-reliant skills.
Finally, Release Worry journaling helps to identify the root causes of anxiety and soothe its impact on everyday life. The questions that will be expected in this section:
Reflective writing has been shown to lower emotional distress and increase self-regulation, especially for people dealing with trauma or mood instability [3]. By naming thoughts and feelings, people reduce their intensity and uncover what's beneath them.
Another great place to try Breeze is with a test. The app offers a library of 40+ short, evidence-informed self-assessments on various topics, from ADHD assessment to love languages testing.
A test takes an average of 10 minutes, depending on the topic. More serious assessments, such as evaluating narcissistic traits or anger, might take longer, up to 16 minutes.
Important: Discovery tests in Breeze Wellbeing are not diagnostic tools, although they're based on psychological research and clinical screening frameworks.
The Breeze app doesn't leave users alone with their results. Results are broken down, and a user will also get personalised feedback, including:
Tip: Start with the topic that resonates most. You can always take more tests later, and your results stay private unless you choose to share them.
