Feeling anxious? A breathing pillow can help, says study

Are you always feeling stressed or anxious at work or from your roles and responsibilities as a parent? Here’s something new that can help you once it’s out in the market — a breathing cushion.Researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom have now developed breathing pillows to help people suffering from stress and anxiety simulate breathing. Currently, there has been preliminary evidence that suggests that it could help people’s pre-test anxiety.

The result shows that people who used the hugging cushion were less anxious than those who did not. Most of the participants said it they had the “most pleasant” and “calming” experience while using the product. Engineer Alice Haynes from the University of Bristol said, “We were excited to find that holding the breathing cushion, without any guidance, produced a similar effect on anxiety in students as a meditation practice. This ability of the device to be used intuitively opens it up to providing wider audiences with accessible anxiety relief.”For those with chronic stress and anxiety, it’s best to consult a psychologist for the appropriate treatment and medications.

If this is the case, progressive relaxation exercises can help. You may try to lie in a comfortable position and slowly contract and relax each muscle group.Some research suggests that any form of writing or journaling can help people cope better with stress and anxiety. Writing is an excellent way to express your stress, making it more manageable.Are you bombarded with many activities, tasks, and commitments? That could be the reason why you are stressed and feeling anxious right now.
