Strangely Soothing Stress Relief – sensory videos

The Happy Accident

While visiting family in Idaho over Christmas I sat around the table with my nephews.  My sons had received some kinetic sand and it was left in a bin on the table where 16 year old Tyson started to fiddle with it.  It was amazing to see how fascinated we all became with him stacking the sand into a cup and slicing off the ends with a plastic knife. It was strangely calming and reminded me of the man who paints on TV and makes it look so easy while soothing stress.

In a stressful world there is plenty to worry about. We all know how important it is to take time for yourself, but often it just takes too long and we put it off.  If you don’t have the time for a mid day yoga or meditation break, here are some great videos you can watch on instagram.  Find one that makes you calm and take a minute for yourself.
