Products to Improve Your Personal Wellness

#1 Journal

Lots of us are mental hoarders. That means that we keep all our thoughts and emotions locked up in our brains. Do that for too long and your mind becomes a messy pile of cluttered ideas that wreak havoc upon your happiness and clarity of thought.

There’s a simple way to declutter your mind: write out your thoughts in a journal. Writing in a journal is the equivalent of tossing out all those needless thoughts that you’re hoarding.

Not all your thoughts are needless, of course. Some of them may be very important or urgent. But, by writing them out on paper, you won’t fixate on them, and you can stay better focused on your everyday activities, like work. According to the American Psychiatric Association, “journaling can provide general wellness and self-improvement benefits, such as making you more self-aware, boosting creativity, and helping you build better habits.”

A journal can be a fundamental element of your self-care routine. And, let’s be honest, writing in a journal is a much better alternative to vague-booking your stresses on social media.

#2 Kirlian Camera

According to researchers, those who take a large number of selfies are more likely to suffer from anxiety and low self-esteem. A selfie is often used to cure such deficiencies by gaining attention from others. Unfortunately, people usually post their selfies on social media, a platform which has been proven to cause even more crippling anxiety and low self-esteem.

Moral of the story: take a break from the selfies!

Here’s a new kind of portrait you can take: an aura photo. What’s an aura photo, you ask? It’s a photo of your aura. According to some eastern religions and holistic medicine, everyone has a unique aura that surrounds the body. It’s like an energy field, invisible to the human eye, but actually quite colorful. Supposedly, everyone’s aura has a different combination of rainbow colors depending on what their personality is and on what their mental state is.

Use Kirlian cameras to take your aura photo. It’s basically a selfie that has a colorful interpretation of your aura surrounding your image. They’re fun to share with friends or hang in your home, and your aura will look completely different from everyone else’s. It’s a fun way to show off your unique qualities in a pleasant visual format.

#3 Candles and Incense

Candles and Incense have long been used by Monks for meditation purposes. It’s believed that these types of burners help to calm you and relieve tension. This is due partly to the lovely aromas that they release when you light them, but also because a small flame is a perpetually elegant image.

What’s fun about both candles and incense is that they come in a large variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and, most importantly, smells. Whether you use them to create a soothing atmosphere or to freshen up the air in your home, or simply for decoration, they’re an eternally popular mood-booster. You can also opt for eco-friendly candles made from soy or coconut wax.

Just remember to blow them out when you’re finished!

#4 Coloring Book

Yes, a coloring book. Once a staple of early childhood, coloring books have now grown in popularity with adults, too. The adult coloring books offer designs are more intricate so it isn’t overly simple to do. Not making this up. How does a coloring book improve your mental health? Here’s how. When you fill in a coloring book, you’re usually coloring in one box at a time. You’re focusing on one thing at a time. This is one of the basic concepts of meditation. While you’re coloring, you’re tuning out most of your other sensations and anxieties and focusing instead on a rather simple task. When you finish coloring an image, you’re also given that slight boost in happiness that comes from being creative and from completing a task.

Try it for yourself. You’d be surprised at how such a simple task can do wonders to ease any palette of complex emotions.

#5 Gravity Blanket

A gravity blanket is a blanket that’s specially designed to reduce stress, anxiety and insomnia. The blanket is weighted and is stitched in such a way that it feels as if it’s “hugging” you while you’re wearing it. If you’re feeling lonely, wearing a gravity blanket can give you that warm sensation you get when you cuddle up next to someone. This can aid in sleeping and deep sleep.

Icing on the cake: some gravity blankets are machine washable!
