These are documented cases, we think it’s much higher!
Plus, almost everyone will deal with stress at some point in their lives, for many, it’s never ending.
We all know someone, including ourselves, that could use a little assistance from time to time. So we’ve found the best stress relief gadgets out there to help you do just that!
The Best Stress Relief Gadgets In 2024
1. CalmiGo: Stress & Anxiety Breath Regulator
Stress and anxiety can cause you to take faster, shallower breaths, which, in turn, contributes to feelings of anxiety.
Deep breathing exercises have been shown to help reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety, but it can be hard to focus on counting your breaths if you’re battling a panic attack. That’s where the CalmiGo: Stress & Anxiety Breath Regulator comes in.
You exhale into the device and watch the LED lights guide you through the exhale. Then you inhale calming scents (lavender, mint, or bergamot) through your nose. Repeat for a total of 3 minutes to regulate your breathing, relax, and stave off anxiety.
2. Chill CBD Relaxation Gummies (THC-Free)
Want to try CBD without the hassle of oil? Check out the Chill CBD Relaxation Gummies, which are completely THC Free!
Each gummy contains about 10.75 mg of CBD. Most people benefit from eating 1-2 gummies every 4-6 hours, although you may need more, especially if you are a larger person. Never take more than 6 gummies at a time.
What is CBD? Short for cannabidiol, CBD is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis (behind the high-causing THC). CBD is derived from hemp, a cousin to marijuana, and there is no evidence to suggest that it has any potential for abuse.
3. Fitbit Luxe Wellness & Stress Management Tracker
Did you know a Fitbit can help you track and manage your stress levels?
The Fitbit Luxe Wellness & Stress Management Tracker has the same fitness, sleep, and stress tracking abilities as other Fitbit models in a slimmer design that looks more like jewelry than technology (especially if you upgrade to the stylish gorjana for Fitbit Luxe Special Edition bracelet).
Using factors like your heart rate variability while you sleep, electrodermal activity, sleep patterns, exertion levels, and more, the FitBit App can assign you a Stress Management Score every day and provides suggestions on how to improve your score.
Additionally, you can install the Relax App on your Fitbit and do a 2-minute guided breathing exercise anytime you want.
