#sensory objects

I'll be anyone's friend, anon. // Sensory objects that help with anxiety can be useful- just as a general suggestion for anxiety, a squeeze ball as used for anger management can also be used for stress. Bean bags can help with 'nesting' (why we often sleep curled up), and weighted blankets can help if you're prone to sleeplessness without heavy quilts or blankets. Those with anxiety can also benefit from natural sounds of the ocean or crickets, instead of loud pop music. -Indigo.

Thanks so much for your suggestions, Indigo, I’m gonna keep these in mind for future answers and I’m sure our followers will find them useful! :D

Great sensory objects: fill a large tube sock with rice and tie the end into a knot (or sew it if youre artsy) you can microwave it for 2 minutes for an hour or gentle heat and you can still feel the grains of sand under your fingers without the mess
