- Acupuncture
Needling therapy delivered by a practitioner.

- Gratitude practice or therapy session
A written gratitude practice or a talk-therapy session, logged as its own entry.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Breathing supplemental oxygen at above-normal pressure in a chamber.
- Journaling
Written reflection. Distinct from the app's own check-in: this is the practice, the check-in is the measurement.
- Massage / soft tissue work
Sports massage, foam rolling or manual therapy.
- Meditation
Seated or guided practice — mindfulness, transcendental, loving-kindness, body scan or open awareness. Recorded by duration and style, since they are not interchangeable.
- Morning sunlight
Outdoor light exposure early in the day, for circadian timing.
- Nap
Daytime sleep. Worth logging separately from night sleep — a long late nap explains a bad night that otherwise looks unprovoked.
- Red light therapy
Photobiomodulation. Wavelength, distance and duration determine the delivered dose.
- Sauna session
Heat exposure recorded by temperature, duration and session count.
- Screen curfew
A cutoff time for screens before bed, tracked by whether it held.
- Stretching / mobility
Targeted mobility work, usually short and frequent rather than long and occasional.
- Yoga
Movement and breath practice. Sits between training and recovery depending on the style, so log the intensity rather than assuming.
