What is the Anti-Stress Box?

The Anti-Stress Box is a carefully curated set of sensory tools designed to help regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and restore a sense of control over stress responses.
It works by engaging the senses (touch, scent, movement) to encourage relaxation and bring awareness back to the body and mind.

What’s inside?

Each box contains tools designed to support self-regulation and relaxation:

• Essential oil – for deep breathing and a sense of calm.

• Sensory stickers and stones – for grounding focus through touch.

• Stress ball – to release tension in hands and muscles.

• Fidget ring – for quiet, discreet calming anywhere.

• Silicone finger ring – to relieve tension through movement.

• Breathing necklace – to help slow the breath and heart rate.

(Contents may occasionally vary — you may receive something new or special each time.)

Why does it work?

The effectiveness of sensory tools is based on their ability to influence the autonomic nervous system through sensory input that activates parasympathetic relaxation responses (Porges, 2011).
Senses such as touch, smell, and sight play an important role in neurological processes of calming and self-regulation (Craig, 2002).

Research confirms that sensory aids like stress balls, fidget tools, and sensory environments with aromatherapy and tactile stimuli can significantly reduce anxiety and improve the body’s stress regulation mechanisms (Pfeifer et al., 2022; Shapiro & Healey, 2020). For example:

• Aromatherapy with specific essential oils can reduce cortisol levels and improve mood (Lee et al., 2011).

• Light exposure helps regulate circadian rhythm and affects mood (Cajochen, 2007).

• Tactile tools relieve muscle tension and improve concentration (Lin et al., 2019).

Who is it for?

The Anti-Stress Box is designed for anyone who wants to:

• Reduce feelings of tension

• Calm the body and mind

• Have practical tools for self-care and grounding

• Treat themselves or gift someone who is experiencing stress or anxiety

How to use your box

Open your box whenever you feel overwhelmed or simply want a mindful moment for yourself.
Choose the item that draws your attention most.
Follow your intuition — squeeze, breathe, touch, refocus.
Take a few minutes; the effect is strongest when you’re fully present and aware.

Each box also includes a guidebook that walks you through each tool and offers ways to use them in everyday life.
Every item has its own unique purpose — to calm your body, quiet your mind, and support your nervous system in finding balance.

The exercises are simple and take only a few minutes, yet they can transform your moment when practiced consciously.

(Box contents may vary slightly over time — there’s always room for a pleasant surprise.)
