What Pixel Thoughts actually is

A sixty-second exercise with one instruction: type the thought that is bothering you into the glowing star at the centre of the screen. The star then drifts away into a field of galaxies while short prompts about perspective fade in and out, taking the sentence with it.

Why it is worth your time

The timing is the whole trick. You cannot rush it, skip it or click anything else, so the only remaining option is to sit still for the full minute.

We built one too

Pixel Thought

Take a 60-second mindfulness break and put one worry back in perspective.
