Stress is a normal part of life and I’m pretty sure we all have experienced being in a stressful situation at some point in our lives. But each person has a different way to respond and cope with stress.
If stress is not managed well, it may affect not just your thoughts and emotions but your body and behavior as well, and as a result, it can threaten your career, relationships and worst of all, your health.
There are many ways to keep stress under control and one of those is through the help of the latest gadgets and gizmos designed to attack stress in different ways.
1. Muse: The Brain Sensing Headband
Meditation is a relaxation technique that can help you reduce stress and anxiety. With the help of the Muse Headband, your brain activity will be measured and the device will guide you to a calm mind in case of stress, through audio cues. The sound will intensify every time the Muse detects that your mind begins to wander, guiding you back to a calm state of mind.

5. Brookstone Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager
Massage is a fantastic way to de-stress and through this Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager, you don’t have to go through the hassle of spending time and money to get a professional one.
