What are fidget rings?

Fidget rings look similar to regular finger rings. They are rings with movable elements. The elements can be rotated, pushed, or rolled.

By turning or moving the ring, your hands have something to do. This can have a calming effect and help you concentrate better.

Why do fidget rings help?

When we are nervous or stressed, our body reacts. The body releases stress hormones. The following happens:

• The body becomes more alert, tenser
• Heart rate and energy levels increase
• The body is on "high alert"

In the past, this was important for survival. For example, if a bear appeared. Thanks to stress hormones, it was possible to flee from the bear or defend oneself.

Today, we often experience stress in other situations (school, work,...). However, our body still reacts to stress the same way it did before.

The body wants to get rid of the energy. You notice this in the following behaviors:

• Playing with a pen
• Pacing back and forth
• Biting fingernails
  
• Rubbing or kneading hands
  
• Playing with jewelry (necklace, ring)

This helps to release energy and reduce stress.
Fidget rings are well-suited because they are small and discreet.

Sensory stimulation also helps reduce stress.

Sensory stimulation = The body receives stimuli through touch, pressure, or movement. These stimuli travel via the skin and nerves to the brain. There, they help to "regulate" the body, i.e., to return to a calmer state.
