Potty training from Hell. Minimal hours of sleep. An endless list of “character-building” activities for your child(ren)that never seem to correspond enough to give you a break. Bickering siblings. Being used like a human napkin. Did I mention, little to NO time to yourself? This is the hectic life of a mom. Add into the equation a job, and you definitely are starved for some “me” time.

It is no wonder that many moms turn to Zen-infused activities like Yoga and Meditation when trying to wind down and tune out the chaos that comes with parenting. According to the NCCIH, 8% of U.S. adults practice this form of self-care — that’s 18 million people. Even some of the ‘greats’ like Oprah rely on meditation.

While the reward of happy, balanced kids and smiling little faces is what most mom’s treasure, Helix3, an up and coming rewards-based platform used to store, manage and exchange health data, encourages its members to reward their participants (like those hard-working moms) with another reward: Helix “HLX” tokens. Taking care of yourself comes hand in hand with taking care of your family. Helix3 believes in the importance of health, exercise and self-care not only for you, but for the loved ones that depend on you. Their mission is to empower the masses to take control of their health, and one of the ways they do that is with incentives such as the HLX token reward system.

Whether it’s a healthy food choice, mediation, or exercise, the Helix3 platform encourages its members to give rewards for healthy activities, serving as that extra push one may need in times of plain old exhaustion. These HLX tokens can be used as a currency to purchase products and services within the marketplace.
