Popping the bubbles on bubble wrap is a displacement activity which can give you some stress relief. It’s fun.
The destruction, annihilation or other anger machination of inanimate objects has long been a rather inefficient form of stress relief. Slamming doors, putting fists through walls are both examples of rather shortly lived attempts at stress relief. These may feel good momentarily, but the stress returns very quickly. The use of bubble wrap for stress relief, through the popping of the little pockets or bubbles, is an innovative idea that provides some real opportunity for true stress relief.
First, the use of bubble wrap for stress relief does not involve any real use of drugs unless you pursue the bubble popping to a point of requiring ibuprofen for soreness of your popping fingers! The use of bubble wrap for stress relief does not require visits to a gym or guru. The continued popping noise and the feeling that it generates naturally reduces your stress and soon you will realize that nothing else matters but the rhythmic popping of the bubbles in front of you.
At some point in the near future, many spas and fashionable clinics will begin to offer the bubble wrap. Once this occurs, the use of bubble wrap for stress relief will become ubiquitous. Imagine being wrapped, to a degree that is comfortable for you, in bubble wrap and then beginning your meditation in your favorite sauna or steam machine. As time unfolds, the heat and sweat reduce your tissues, clean your pores and help you melt away an inch or two.
Using bubble wrap as the wrapping material, enables the use of the bubble wrap for stress relief at the same time. The patient may pop away and create that unique rhythm, that they alone feel, that melts away the stress.
Bubble wrap for stress relief is by far one of the most novel modern methods of treatment for stress.
Does it work?
If you’re feeling stressed, go and get some exercise. Even walking around your office can relieve your mind. Breathe. Do some yoga. When you move, you relieve tension, which is the goal of popping bubbles. Doing yoga will do more for your health, however.
