USING BLAST FOR

BREAKING BAD HABITS

THE STRESS RESPONSE

It can be challenging to break bad habits like procrastination, nail-biting, smoking, excessive drinking, overeating, negative self-talk, or even using electronics before bed; these are just some examples! Bad habits often form as a way to cope with stress. While they may provide temporary relief, they often come with more long term negative consequences. Use BLAST as a supportive tool for stress relief and help with breaking bad habits.

HOW BLAST HELPS

TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system). 

THE LONGTERM BENEFITS

Habits are formed through repeated actions, which create neural pathways in our brains. These pathways become automatic, making it difficult to break the habit. When using BLAST™ while partaking in a bad habit, overtime you may not need them as they become less stressful because of BLAST™. One of the ways BLAST works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST™, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones associated with the bad habit.  

Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in bad habits. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed BLAST™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019)
