At the end of the day, our minds are often full. Children arrive home from school tired and emotional, adults feel the strain of work, and older adults are more likely to become overloaded by all the stimuli.
De-stimulation is not a luxury, but a necessary reset for the body.
Hugsback helps with this destimulation process with a gentle, soothing pressure that helps the nervous system recover.
Why de-stimulation is so important
Throughout the day the body collects:
- sounds
- emotions
- expectations
- social incentives
- sensory load
Without a moment of destimulation, the nervous system remains “on”.
How to effectively de-stimulate
1. A smooth transition when you arrive home
Do not turn on the TV or bright lights.
Start with a gentle moment—for example, a hug on your lap.
2. A fixed ritual
Predictability helps the body calm down faster.
3. Short deep pressure moments
Feeling Hugsback for just a few minutes can help with:
- rest
- breathing
- release tension
4. Create a de-stimulating space in your home
Soft colours, warm light, a permanent place for Hugsback.
Why Hugsback works so well here
- deep pressure works immediately
- the cuddly toy is soft, warm and safe
- helps children, adults and the elderly
- perfect for use when you get home
- stimulates resting hormones
Conclusion
Unwinding after school, work, or a busy day is essential for well-being. With Hugsback, you can easily create a moment of calm where your body can recover.
