If you’ve only heard about acupressure mats from TikTok and Instagram, you probably think that they are simply a gimmick. 

However, they are actually incredible mats that can help relieve stress and tension, provide relief from back and neck pain, increase your blood circulation and improve your sleep quality. 

An acupressure mat, which is a long mat that comes with a neck pillow, in essence, is meant to produce similar results to an acupressure massage. Acupressure massages are typically used to release blocked energy around the body so that pain can be reduced or alleviated. 

With its plastic points, they can also be used on the neck, head, hands, or feet. If you are feeling particularly stressed, anxious or worn out, you can use the mat to help you relax and to even get better sleep because it can target pressure points associated with insomnia.

Colouring books are no longer just for kids. In fact, recently, there has been a huge influx of illustrators who are putting out adult colouring books that feature intricate designs that are aimed at reducing anxiety in adults. 

In fact, colouring is known to improve mindfulness and is actually used for people who are just beginning art therapy. 

You can check out some popular colouring books by illustrators such as Johanna Basford and Emma Farrarons for adult colouring books that are sure to help you unwind after a particularly stressful day. 

Foam rollers are typically used during workouts or to relieve muscle tightness or soreness. However, did you know that they can also be used to give you relief from anxiety?

In fact, when you use a foam roller to help you get rid of tension and knots in your muscles, it can actually elevate your mood by increasing the levels of serotonin in your brain.

It can also improve circulation throughout your body and help you to oxygenate your blood by flushing out toxins from your body which will, in turn, reduce inflammation. 

This is really an all-in-one solution for a long day at work.

If you tend to get anxious when you are forced to sit still during a meeting or to get work done, something that might help are fidget toys which are all the rage right now. 

Now don’t worry, these aren’t your typical kid-centric toys.

These toys cater to every type of worrier despite your age. In fact, no matter if you are more sensory or if you need a fidget toy that will be quiet and cause little to no distraction, you will certainly be able to find something. 

The best part is that since most of us are working from home, you can fidget in peace without worrying about anyone judging you.

Some of the most helpful fidget toys are popits which essentially works like silicone bubble wraps or magnetic rings that you can weave through your fingers.
