Stress Management Wednesday - Do stress balls really work?

Using a stress ball can provide immediate relief from stress, but for ongoing benefits, regular use is recommended. Add stress ball exercises into your daily routine to help manage stress consistently, for example, during work breaks, while commuting, or while watching TV.

The stress ball prompts you to squeeze and release, which can leave you feeling less tense than you started. Using stress balls is a way to keep calm and stay focused, as squeezing the stress ball sends

sensory signals that occupy one part of the brain,

the anxious one, making them attentive.
