From life crisis to Mindfit

Mindfit was created because we needed it ourselves – and because we know many others feel the same.

We developed Mindfit to make it easier to take care of your mental health in everyday life.
A place to pause, breathe, find calm, shift your focus and remind yourself of what’s good.

FOUNDED IN 2014

About Mindfit

Mindfit was founded in 2014 by sisters Hilde and Janne Ekeberg Amundsen. They share a strong desire to help others feel better with themselves and improve their quality of life.

Mindfit is built on both personal experience and solid professional knowledge.

Hilde knows firsthand how heavy life can feel. She struggled with low self-esteem, negative self-talk and setting boundaries – while always showing up for others. She lived on autopilot and never felt quite enough, no matter how much she did.

Through small, intentional steps, she began rebuilding herself and finding her way back to joy in everyday life – using the same techniques you’ll find in Mindfit today.

This became the beginning of Mindfit.

Janne, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in trauma and crisis work, contributed her professional expertise. Together, they developed Mindfit based on methods from cognitive therapy, positive psychology and EMDR.

The background 

The goal of Mindfit is simple

To create a personal and professionally grounded tool you can actually use in everyday life, built on methods we trust and experiences we’ve lived ourselves.

Through her clinical work, Janne sees that many people have to wait a long time for help, and that not everyone receives the support they need. Many also want to manage on their own.

Mindfit is not a quick fix. It’s a support for those who want to take small, meaningful steps toward more calm, energy and inner strength.

Start with just a few minutes a day.

You don’t need to change everything at once. Maybe all you need is a small pause – a few minutes for yourself, with calm and grounding. That can be the beginning of something new.

Mindfit helps you:

  • shift focus away from self-criticism and negative thought patterns
  • practice noticing what’s actually good
  • understand your own reaction patterns
  • take pauses and check in with what you need
  • set boundaries – without guilt
  • build self-esteem and feel more grounded in everyday life

We know that small steps can make a difference.

I recommend Mindfit to both friends and patients in my clinical practice as a psychologist. It can help people through trying times or with minor problems such as difficulty concentrating or motivational problems in everyday life. For people who struggle with psychological problems such as anxiety, depression or burnout, Mindfit serves as an excellent support tool outside of therapy appointments. Good therapy depends on the patient’s own efforts, and the app is well adapted to this particular aspect of treatment. The app also contains other helpful tools that users may be curious about and want to learn more about, such as mindfulness, EMDR and cognitive therapy.

My positive comments about Mindfit are simply because I have great faith in the app. I’ve looked at and considered many apps over a period, and think their app stands out from many other apps in a positive way. I have confidence that the app can be very useful for many people, because it gives users a perspective on their coping skills while helping them to feel understood and recognized in relation to problems that users record in the app. It this way, it actually does serve as a “mini-psychologist,” as the developers like to say.

The Mindfit app is a tool that has been very helpful to me in my everyday life. It helps keep me focused on the positive when I have faced demanding challenges. I always have it with me and can take it out for support when the need arises. It’s a place where you can keep track of your good experiences and remind yourself that you are on the right track. If you don’t remember to record things right away, you get always a little reminder when your phone is switched on and the app shows up.

In addition to having the app on my phone, I have also “liked” Mindfit on Facebook, where I have really enjoyed what has been posted. There are lots of good, useful links to articles that are helpful to anyone and everyone who wants to improve their quality of life.

Great app Excellent. I love the ideas behind this app. I went to a psychologist many years ago and what he showed about keeping a diary to change my thought patterns is basically contained in this app.

This app is really the answer to many problems that I’ve had my whole life. I often put myself in the “doghouse” and regret so many strange things I say and do to others. I often think, I am so odd … But now I have reversed this trend by focusing on good things. I have tried psychologists, group therapy, courses, pastoral counseling, friends, self-knowledge, self-blame and shame… I have thoroughly examined myself so many times—but without getting anywhere. Mindfit doesn’t tell me how great I am, how valuable I am … or tell me who I am supposed to be. It just helps me to help myself to see that I am good enough – as a friend, an employee and human being.
