Personal Development Training On Your iPhone

LotBraining is a personal development and mental training app for your iPhone and iPad. 

“LotBraining is based on more than a decade of practical experience in coaching and training. LotBraining utilizes mental training techniques originally developed by NASA in their space exploration program.”

There are six different areas you can focus on; Motivation, Success, Joy, Relaxation, Confidence, Courage, and Health.  Each area gives you the option to either test your current level or start a training session.  The testing consists of a few different questions.  The interesting part of this app is the training itself.

When you choose your area of training, you are given instructions to focus on a symbol and concentrate on the topic given, and also maintain even breathing.  I’ve tried a few of them over the past week, but the only one I can truly attest to is the relaxation area.  As a mom, the only time I really have to myself is late at night.  And with my three year old always waking up to come into our bed, I don’t even get much of that any more.  Needless to say, I’ve been having problems relaxing lately.

I’ve been doing the training at night before I go to bed and the last training area I do is Relaxation.  I can tell you that after two nights of doing it, I was falling asleep within 10 minutes of going to bed.  I’ve been having better, quality sleep time.  No more than 5 hours, but those 5 hours are better quality than before.

The overall look of the application is smooth and refined –very pleasing to the eye.  I believe, if used properly and with an open mind, it will definitely have its benefits on the individual using it.
