A mental health expert weighs in on whether this jewelry with a purpose can make a difference.
They’re known as anxiety rings or fidget rings — pieces of finger jewelry that contain beads, rotating centers or other moving parts that the wearer can discreetly play with.
“I use it all the time, from when watching TV to in work meetings,” Ayres, 31, told TODAY. “It’s not a cure for anxiety. It does, however, help to bring a moment of mindfulness if I feel stressed or anxious in a particular situation.” Humans like to move, so sitting still is not what the body always wants to do even though we’ve come to expect that of each other, Kissen said.
“It’s riding out the urge,” Kissen noted. “It gives you a little bit of time to try to control your next move.”
