The past two years have definitely been difficult. We’re still trying to process all the turbulence while also checking everything off our to-do list. It’s been a lot. As our stress levels have skyrocketed, we’ve needed new ways to alleviate our anxiety. Daily walks have often been a source of stress relief for Us, but lately it’s been too cold to go outside for more than five minutes at a time. Acupuncture is an option, but we’re not big fans of needles. We’re searching for a solution that can help Us unwind at the end of the day without breaking the bank (and yes, we’ve already tried wine).
Weighted blankets are exactly what we’ve been looking for. These therapeutic tools are heavy blankets that relieve anxiety and stress. And you can enjoy the many mental health benefits from the comfort of your couch or bed! The extra weight mimics a technique called deep pressure stimulation to relax the nervous system. You’ll feel like you’re being embraced in a soothing hug. Weighted blankets can be pricey, but we just found five amazing options that are currently on sale at Amazon. Shop now before these top-rated throws sell out!
