Rolling Stress Relievers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Weighted Stress Balls Refocus Rage to Some Basic Desktop Play

— February 6, 2015 — Lifestyle
These weighted stress balls have been made with the understanding that you often need more than something to squeeze. When you're feeling pent up anger or pressure from your surroundings, crack out an object that will engage you more than a flour-filled balloon.

Maxim Ginsburg has developed these Desk Spheres, each designed with wide grooves that and an internal weight that can cause it to roll inconsistently. Place it on your work surface and roll it around under your palm, navigating all of those headache-inducing duties to rise above a bad mood. A thick layer of squishy material in black, red or white is what makes up the outside of this weighted stress ball, inviting you to grip it comfortably in your fist if you really feel that a clench would be therapeutic.
Trend Themes
1. Weighted Stress Balls - Leveraging weighted stress balls to enhance stress relief with wider engagement opportunities.
2. Inconsistently Rolling Stress Relievers - Introducing stress balls with internal weight that roll inconsistently for higher engagement and better distraction from stressors.
3. Desk Spheres - Designing Desk Spheres with wide grooves to help people effectively manage stress at work.
Industry Implications
1. Productivity Tools and Workspace Accessories - Productivity tool makers can create and market weighted stress balls with unique features to help workers with stress relief.
2. Technology - Tech innovators can create digital stress management tools that gamify the process of stress relief with the use of weighted stress balls.
3. Athletic Apparel - Athletic apparel companies can expand their product line to include customizable and branded Desk Spheres as a stress management tool for their customers.
