A product that combines physical and digital elements to enhance the reflection experience for cultivating habits. The goal of this product is to optimize people's thought patterns, fostering a more resilient mind to alleviate common stress issues. The reflection method is inspired by brain health scientist Dr. Daniel Amen. He coined the term ANTs, which stands for “Automatic Negative Thoughts.” His technique helps people identify and understand their thought patterns to create positive change.
My goal was to use design to help people develop a habit by encouraging repetition of this method. The design of the ANTs characters makes the concept relatable and engaging. The physical reflection sheets provide people with a more focused reflection environment. The digital app integrates reflections into daily life, encouraging consistent engagement with the method. Ultimately, this helps develop a rewarding habit for a better mental space, resilient to stress.
