How Mindfit works
Some days you need to be reminded of what’s actually going well in your life. Other days you need to understand why you react the way you do. And sometimes you just need to calm down.
That’s why you can use Mindfit in different ways, depending on what you need.
An important part of Mindfit is training yourself to notice what’s good. When you write it down, you pause and give that good feeling more space.
This can help you:
- strengthen your sense of achievement and self-esteem
- feel more satisfied
- reduce stress and negative thoughts
Over time, it can help you become more resilient through life’s ups and downs.
Mental training
Train your thought patterns
Your thought patterns can be trained, just like the rest of your body.
When you’re stressed, negative thoughts and inner unrest can easily take over. It’s easy to get caught in a negative cycle of thoughts and start believing that things are worse than they really are.
Mindfit helps you become more aware of your patterns and gives you tools to help you respond to stress and challenges in new ways.
Mindfit helps you:
- get to know your reaction patterns
- track your mood and see what affects it
- recognise thinking traps
- challenge negative thoughts
- practise responding to situations in new ways
Small adjustments in how you think and respond can help you become less self-critical, strengthen your self-esteem and feel steadier over time.
Manage stress and anxiety.
Calm your nervous system
Sometimes you need insight. Other times you just need to calm down.
In Mindfit, you’ll find different techniques that can help you regulate your nervous system and calm down when stress starts to build.
Choose from:
- Breathing exercises
- Relaxation exercises
- Calm Racing Thoughts
- Mindfulness
- EMDR-inspired techniques
A breathing exercise can help you find calm, while a relaxation exercise can reduce tension in your body and quiet racing thoughts.
Just a few minutes during the day can help you feel calmer, think more clearly and even sleep better.

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.
Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Here are answers to some of the most common ones.
What is Mindfit app?
Mindfit is a Norwegian mental health app with journaling, mood tracker, breathing exercises, relaxation, and tools for thought patterns and self-esteem.
Mindfit is designed for people who experience stress, negative thoughts, and self-criticism – and who want to improve their self-esteem and strengthen their mental health.
The app was developed in Norway in collaboration with a clinical psychologist specialist and is based on CBT, Positive Psychology, and EMDR-inspired techniques.
The first version of Mindfit was launched in 2014.
You can try Mindfit free for 7 days. The app is available in the App Store and on Google Play.
How is Mindfit different from a journal?
Mindfit is more than a traditional journal.
In Mindfit, you train yourself to notice what’s good. You’re encouraged to write down positive experiences, things you’ve achieved, what you’re grateful for, praise and kind words from others, and things you like. This becomes your buffer against stress and negative thoughts.
You also get tools that help you understand yourself a little better, recognise your reaction patterns and take small steps towards what you want to change.
What methods is Mindfit based on?
Mindfit is based on methods from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology and EMDR-inspired techniques.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses, among other things, on how our thought patterns affect our feelings and reactions. In Mindfit, you get tools that help you become more aware of negative thought patterns, challenge them and see situations in new ways.
Positive Psychology is reflected in exercises that train you to notice what’s good and what you’ve achieved.
EMDR has inspired several of the techniques in Mindfit, including working with thoughts, feelings and physical reactions, the use of symbols and bilateral stimulation. Eye Movement Bar and Butterfly Hug are examples of EMDR-inspired techniques in the app.
Mindfit was developed in Norway in collaboration with a clinical psychologist specialist.
Does Mindfit replace a psychologist or therapy?
No.
Mindfit is a self-help app and does not replace psychological treatment or therapy. Many people use Mindfit on its own, while others use the app alongside therapy as part of their daily mental wellbeing routine.
Mindfit is based on methods from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology and EMDR-inspired techniques, and was developed in collaboration with a clinical psychologist specialist.
If you’ve been struggling for a longer period of time or your symptoms feel overwhelming, we recommend talking to your doctor or a psychologist.
