PROCRASTINATION
Stress can play a major role in avoidance. When a person is under significant stress, they may find it difficult to focus on the task at hand or may lack the motivation to begin the task. On the other hand, this avoidance can result in even more stress when those tasks begin to pile up and deadlines approach. BLAST® can help you manage stress and get started on these tasks.
How blast® works for PROCRASTINATION
BLAST® INTERVENES
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).

CHANGE OCCURS
When using BLAST® consistently before a stressful task, overtime you may not need them in certain situations 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 that can cause avoidance.

Olivia Donaldson, age 25
Challenges:
Agitation,Anxiety,Autism (Sensory Overload),Can't Get Started on Tasks,Focus,Meditation,Procrastination,Sensory Sensitivity
Solution:
"I use them several times a week. Most often I use them when I'm feeling sensory overwhelm or 'prickly', or when I'm struggling to start a task or leave the house. I also find them helpful when I'm feeling particularly stressed or overwhelmed. I use them anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes until they start to bother me."
What significant changes have you seen?
"Almost instantly I'm able to start a task or calm down from more extreme emotions. I feel like my nervous system is more regulated in general.
I also think they are helping me recognize that I can shift my inner state when I'm feeling something that's disrupting my experience. For example, sometimes when I'm feeling sensory overwhelm, it can be hard for me to recognize what I'm feeling to be able do something about it, but being able to simply reach for my touchpoints gets me to the point where I'm able to recognize that I need to switch up my environment, take a piece of clothing that's bothering me off, etc. and gives me the calmness I need to take action."
Have any medical providers, teachers, other family members etc. noticed a difference?
"Boyfriend says I'm more aware of my mental state and better able to communicate what I need in those moments :)"
Do you have any other markers demonstrating how TouchPoints™ are working (i.e. improved grades, lower blood pressure, better sleep per Fitbit or health trackers, using less medication, better sports performance, etc.)?
"I'm more productive in my work and am able to spend more time socializing and networking."
