Between the cooking and the baking and the decorating and the shopping, we’re bound to experience a little extra stress this time of the year. Aside from our usual stress, of course. So if you could use some help relaxing, shop from these stress relieving gadgets.
Heated Massage Pillow
Relieve muscle tension in no time with a heated, yes, heated massage pillow that’s designed to merge with all of the contours of your neck, shoulders, back, feet and legs. This particular pillow has three adjustable speeds, and even though there is a heating element, it also has an overheat protection device and a 15-minute auto shut-off feature. What we love most about this massage pillow is that it’s discrete enough to use at the office which is where a lot of us start experiencing those aches and pains, thanks to certain chairs.

Muse Headset
Most of us know that meditation has some major benefits like better sleep, less stress, and more focus. All of which sounds incredible, but if you’re like us then you have a really hard time meditating because at any given time you’ve got about (50) tabs open. But if you want to get good at meditating and begin reaping those benefits as soon as possible, then treat yourself to a Muse headset. Muse makes meditation easy by giving you real-time feedback to help you recognize your own calm by tracking your brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and body movements. Buy one here!
Download the Pacifica App
This is an informative app that is based on cognitive behavioral therapy that gives you all of the information you would need to change your own behavior and thinking patterns. Pacifica also incorporates wellness and relaxation methods that may be new to you for a well-rounded app that helps you track your moods and thoughts, set daily goals, and use relaxation techniques to eliminate stress. And few stress relievers are better, or rather more accessible than an app because when don’t we have our phones with us?
Breathing Buddha
Guided breathing can reduce stress, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ultimately help you improve your mindfulness. People of all ages can benefit from Breathing Buddha and the best part is that it’s simple to use, so if your little one could use some quiet breathing time at school or you know that your work day could use some meditation, you can easily carry Breathing Buddha with you, take it out when it’s time to meditate, and you’ll simply breathe along with the colors.
