The winter bound holidays are upon us. Prepare yourself for an onslaught of guests, eggnog, difficult questions, awkward political arguments and a whole lot of stress.

I thought holiday breaks were ... you know ... breaks.

If you're susceptible to fretting -- fear not! I'm here to help you through every drunk Uncle Dave rant, kafkaesque re-runs of "A Christmas Story," Mom's stuffing screwups (C'mon Karen!) and intense familial pressure to "get your act together."

Below, you'll see a list of free (and a few paid) apps that'll help you meditate your way to total calmness. So, grab your smartphone and headphones, lock yourself in the bathroom, and breeeeeeath.

Headspace is one of the best apps on the market -- it's also beautiful. Plug in and take yourself through 10-minute guided sessions that'll help clear your cluttered brain through breathing exercises.

Stop, Breathe & Think is the kind of meditation app I can get down with. It's free, it's filled with all kinds of guided meditations and you can apply to be a "mindfulness" researcher for them!

Buddhify will help you calm the f down wherever you are. Choose from a wheel of stressful emotions that you're feeling and the app will help pair you with a guided meditation.
