Ok. I figured out a work around if anyone else has this problem. Apparently the reminders app has an hourly reminder option. So what I’ve done is set a reminder hourly to breathe. And another one to go off every 3 hours to do some journaling and log my mood etc.
Its too bad though that Apple took this feature away without giving much thought to the user experience. They spend so much time and money on what’s new with the updates but not so much on what’s been taken away and possible workarounds. If you think about it though it would also be a great opportunity to ”promote” some other apps in the App Store. Like hey! We took this feature away but here’s a work around and here’s some apps that do the thing we took away - please check them out. They could charge for that ”referral” and make lotsa lotsa money. But hey what do I know.
