Stress Busters

These stress busters are not for the faint of heart

So you have no time to practice yoga, are not convinced about effectiveness of meditation and just looking for a quick and easy way to shake off your stress? Then stress busters are for you.

A stress buster is an item used to either entertain you and thus shift your mind from stressful thoughts to something else or to allow you to clear your thoughts altogether, by concentrating on precise actions. The most obvious example of a stress buster is a 15 minute break. Best stress busters are portable and easily accessible. While a punching bag for example, is a great way to release tension, it is not something you can carry around or use at all times (unless you work from home or drive an RV to work). For that reason, stress balls became office stress busters par excellence. They are easily camouflaged, fit in your pocket and have a calming effect. Because stress is something that impacts workers of virtually all sectors of activity, stress busters at work became a matter of necessity, rather than a privilege.

Great stress busters can be found on Amazon. A portable golf set for example, was something I bought my husband for Valentine's day last year. I thought it would be more of a joke, but when he admitted it was actually addictive, I had to admit that it was a serious stress buster. He told me, that sometime during the day, he locks himself in his office, and allows a little golf practice to relieve some of his stress and tension.

I think the best stress busters can be found online. I've seen some funny examples of gadgets on Amazon that allow you to release anger and aggression, last thing on the maker's mind was to preach inner peace. It is another approach to the problem. Instead of letting discomfort mount up inside, you take it out legally, without making any casualties. Fred's stress relievers are designed especially for that, like the dead Fred –pen holder. While it is not something you want to have on your desk if you are dealing with costumers face to face, you should be safe if you work in an office environment.

It is better we take our stress out on a piece of plastic, than on a loved one. Do not let stress creep up on you, deal with it as you go. After all, there is no life without a bit of stressing. I have also pasted some other examples of stress busters.
