I've tried many apps and other technological means to work on this issue. Headspace didn't catch on with me, Calm didn't either, I forgot the rest. But walking more, outside, that did it. I always really enjoyed being outside, and now I appreciate how strong of an influence it has on my overall health because when I lived in Houston I never went outside and I was miserable. Find what works for you.

Getting outside, exercising, self-care, tech fasts are definitely all important and excellent practices. I do think that meditation/mindfulness offers something different. I know it’s not for everyone, but there are enough people (often high performers) from all walks of life that practice some form of meditation, that I feel there are some additional, unique benefits. Specifically; divergent and creative thinking, moving past myopically being trapped in current feelings, and creating the head space between stimulus and action.
I do think that you can learn those things in other ways, but meditation is a structured way of achieving them.
