Stress Balls for Stress Relief
Stress is a definite hazard, but an accepted one at that. A hazard of modern day living and that lets no smile or élan disrupt the tumult of life. A hazard that is eating into so many people’s lives world over, that it has become as vicious as cancer or AIDS that the society feared and still fears. But the society has accepted it and has devised many ways and means to combat stress and prevent it from gobbling up the human population doing work.
This sharp increase in the incidence of stress has also seen numerous ways and means to counter stress. One of those is the stress ball. These stress balls come in different types, each serving the same or different purposes. The various types of stress balls are the Chinese stress balls (most ancient too), the porcupine stress balls, and the miracle stress balls. They all serve the uniting purpose of busting stress as well as several ancillary needs. One chief way, by which these stress balls bust stress, are by lightening the mood by providing entertainment and fun. But this is not the sole means of how the stress balls work.
Let us first expound what are the various ways, a stress ball busts stress. It is commonly believed that, when a person is under stress, and when he/she squeezes the stress ball, the attention is diverted from the source of stress to the pressure applied on the ball. The effect is same as meditation on stress, both of which work simply by making the stress non-important. Additionally, it is found that the energy that grows in the mind on account of the stress is quickly released when the stress balls are used. This helps the mind to consequently rewind and relax.
It is proven that there is a better and smoother circulation of blood and oxygen through the body when the stress balls are used. This helps in efficiently ridding the body of toxic stuff like carbon dioxide and lactate. This in turn, improves the oxygen supply to the brain and the nerves and muscles get the final trickle down effect causing them to ultimately cool down.
The functions of the stress balls are akin to those of acupuncture. When they are used by the palms and the surface tissues, the nodes get stimulated and the various acupuncture spots are activated. These nerves carry the enlivened signals to various parts of the body and ease the tension within. The brain gets stimulated and secretes endorphins which are natural sedative pain-killers.
Thus, it can be safely concluded that stress balls are definitely effective stress busters. These stress balls are very inexpensive, and can be found for sale almost everywhere, though the Chinese varieties can be found in Asian shops, or predominantly Chinese ones. Get hold of one, and help yourself release the stress that gets incarcerated in your body and works you up to drive you to non-performance.
