Calm Strips

Michael Malkin Inventor of Calm Strips used to use painter’s tape on his hands as a discreet fidget for anxiety while at work. As the adhesive became more and more irritating on his skin, it sparked an idea💡! “So I thought to myself: I can’t be the only person who needs something tactile that you can bring anywhere…something you can stick on your phone, laptop, or desk for moments when you need something to regulate restless energy, or just need a reminder to stay present and breathe.” Want to learn more👀?

If you’re like me, then things like loud persistent noises, overwhelming smells, crowds, or even an uncomfy chair can ruin your mood in an instant. As an anxious and easily stressed girly, my nervous system needs to stay calm - otherwise, I burn out fast! Something as simple as @calmstrips gives me a quick way to regulate, just by touching, rubbing, or stroking a unique texture, I feel more grounded and relaxed whenever I need it. Sometimes, it’s the little things that help our bodies feel safe amidst the chaos. Big shoutout to @calmstrips for creating such an incredible sensory resource!
