As the world is running at a fast pace, depression, anxiety, and mental illness is very common and whenever someone feels uncomfortable due to it, they usually want to head tot hire friends to make them feel better. While telling about it, Snapchat spokesperson said:

“That research helped inform how we designed this Headspace mini — we are putting resources front and center where Snapchatters already talk to their close friends, and we hope this new feature will provide a safe space for friends to practice mindfulness, and be able to send encouraging messages to positively boost friends in need,” 

The Headspace Mini has a total of six three to four minutes long meditation sessions, and include themes like “Just Breathe,” “Get Out of a Funk,” “Kick the Panic,” “Be Nice to You,” “Pressure to Succeed,” and “Me Time.”
