Studyseed - Squish Therapy Dough for Learning and Mindfulness
Studyseed are an amazing women led social enterprise based in Craigavon Northern Ireland. We are honoured that they have taken the time to write this wonderful article outlining the benefits of using Squish as a study aid
Who can benefit?
Squish Therapy Dough can be used in all sorts of situations to bring peace, clarity and awaken your mind.
During our trials we found it particularly useful in the following situations
Stress and anxiety
Playing with Squish is a good distraction that shifts attention away from the source of stress and stimulates the brain to release endorphins and improve their mood, hence why our Lavender Squish is named Relax.
Studying and Revision
Squish will benefit those of you who are Kinesthetic Learners, having a Squish to hand will help you retain facts, and recall the information again at exam time because the sensory anchor of the smell helps you recall what you have learned. Simply have the tin in your pocket or bag and use it before you enter the examination room to reactivate those recall pathways
Working from home
Trying to stay focused during online meetings and calls can be difficult, having your Squish to hand to use prior to the call to help you focus and be present. It is also important to take regular breaks from your screen. Schedule specific times for a break if you can, make yourself a calming hot drink and try and find a quiet place to zone out. Use your Squish to busy your hands whilst calming your mind.
Mindfulness
Taking time out for a moment and really focusing on your Squish scent, colour and shapes you have made, helps distract from the business of a day promoting self-care through down-time. No digital distractions just you and your Squish.
