International Stress Awareness Day fell on the first of November this year, but the rest of the month has seen a considerable number of clients and visitors to Cubic Promote keen on logo branded stress toys to help recipients manage their stress. One of the best ways to help manage office stress is through the use of stress toys, as well as implementing measures to reduce your stress levels.

Promotional Stress Toys for Stress Awareness

While International Stress Awareness Day is one day out of the year, activities and products to help reduce your stress levels are available all year round. These include stress management techniques and items such as our classic faves the stress ball to assist with stress in the here-and-now.

Why Use Branded Stress Balls?

Stress balls or toys are soft, squeezable items that can be squished and manipulated using your fingers to assist in relieving muscle tension or stress. Because feeling stressed is a state of emotional strain usually arising from difficult professional or personal circumstances, squeezing stress balls can assist in alleviating the tension that's been built up in the mind and body. When you provide someone with a logo printed stress ball, you're encouraging them to relieve their stress as well as interact with your organisation or brand.

1. Stress balls are cheap to produce.
2. The range of stress toys from Cubic Promote come with your custom logo printed.
3. Huge variety of styles and shapes, perfect for any industry.
4. Lightweight and easy to hand directly to people or provide a tradeshow bag.
5. Stress toys are frequently used in office environments so that recipients will engage with your promotional stress balls on a regular basis.

Managing Stress in Conjunction With Stress Toys

While stress toys are a great way to assist with keeping tension at bay, it also helps to try some basic stress-prevention techniques to minimise the impact stress has on your daily life. Some ideas to keep in mind include;

• Work on your time management -- try to prioritise your daily tasks, so you avoid feeling overwhelmed by day's end.
• Avoid taking on too much -- In both work and life, it's important that you try not to take on more than you can handle. If you're feeling tense, try not to volunteer for additional tasks
• Eating healthily and getting regular exercise can benefit your overall well-being and are great ways to tackle stress as well.
• Always leave time in your day to relax or spend time with friends. We all need to recharge physically and emotionally after a long day, so take it easy when you can.

And if all else fails, keep a stress toy on your desk and unleash your emotions on it when you need to!
