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.

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

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

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

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.
