Earn Vitality points with mindfulness and meditation apps
Good mental health can bring big benefits to your physical health and quality of life. That’s why we’ve introduced Vitality points for mindfulness activities from a range of apps designed to help you build relaxation into your day, including a discount on leading mindfulness app, Headspace.
Vitality points earned for mindful activities will contribute towards your Vitality status but they won’t count towards your weekly target for Active Rewards (if you have Active Rewards included on your plan).
How it works:
Complete 10 or more minutes of mindful activity to earn two Vitality points a day, up to a maximum of six Vitality points a week.
Mindful minutes are calculated on a daily basis and can be made up of multiple activities across multiple apps in a 24-hour period. This means that you’ll still earn two Vitality points if you complete five mindful minutes on one app and five mindful minutes on a different app in the same 24-hour period.
