What's on your mind? (FAQs)

Is MyQStudio another meditation app?
MyQStudio app offers a personalized approach to mental performance. We provide a structured system of science-backed concepts and proven techniques that you can easily follow and adopt. You’ll learn, practice, and build the Mind Skills most relevant to your specific situation and apply them to daily life. While meditation is one valuable technique we offer, MyQStudio includes many additional techniques and tools tailored to your individual needs.

How much time does it take?
Any particular exercise on the app takes between 1 to 5 min to complete. Because Mind Skills Training is akin to positive habit building, it’s not how long, but how consistently you practice. We recommend a few minutes of practice every day. The best part is - you can fit it into your day anytime - whether you are standing in line for coffee or walking in between class, you can learn something cool about how your mind works, practice a quick technique, or reflect on how mind skills are showing results for you.  

Do I have to pay for it?
No, MyQStudio app is available at no cost for ALL GW students.

No, you don’t need any prior experience. The content is designed for all students.
