TL;DR: The mindful Muse and Muse 2 brain-sensing headbands are on sale, saving you $30.

Tons of people make New Year's resolutions centered around physical health, but as we all know, mental health is just as important. Might we suggest adding "taking time for mindfulness" to your resolution list if it's not already there?

Actually tracking your mindfulness and mental health can be tough, but there are tools to help. For example, the Muse brain-sensing headband provides real-time neuro feedback that takes the guesswork out of meditation. So, what exactly does that mean?

First of all, to use Muse, place it on your head and around your ears, making sure the sensors are touching your forehead. Put in earbuds, close your eyes, and immerse yourself in the sounds provided by the Muse mobile app. As you meditate, Muse measures whether your mind is calm or active. It then translates that into weather sounds so that you're able to recognize what state your mind is in.

After each meditation session you're able to review data and set goals to continuously improve your practice. The Muse headband regularly costs $149.99, but right now it's on sale for $120, saving you $29.99.

If you want to step it up a notch, there is the Muse 2. It does everything the original does, but with some bonus features. This model has heartbeat feedback that gives you awareness to regulate how quickly your heart beats. The Muse 2 also teaches you how to control your breath to find calmness and reduce stress and there are motion sensors that help you discover full-body meditation.

The Muse 2 is a bit pricier with an MSRP of $249.99, but it's also $30 off, dropping the price down to $219.99.
