I’ve tried a handful of different apps and meditation approaches over the years, but none of them “stuck” for me…until now! I’ve been using Joystik daily for a few months, and am really happy with the results. The biggest benefit I have found is that I am able to better control my emotions, which has really helped with the kids at home and colleagues at work!

I like that the training sessions were short. That made it easy to incorporate into an already busy schedule and routine. My daughter and I both use Joystik and find it beneficial. When we were trialing it, she would ask me “Are we doing Joystik tonight?” My daughter, who is 11, finds it relaxing and uses it regularly (2-3x/week) and independently to help her fall asleep at night or to calm herself.

The Effects of Chronic Stress.
Chronic daily stress causes release of a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol release that varies from the normal body rhythm - also called circadian rhythm - can cause other hormone systems in the body to stop working as well as they should.
Increased Anxiety
Constant stress can feel like excess energy or restless in the body and without a way to tone this feeling down, it often increased anxiety.
Digestive Issues
Our gut has a lot of receptors for chemical signals in the body. This is part of the reason so many of us feel stress in our stomachs - it can be bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or even constipation.
Headaches
Many people carry stress in their neck and shoulder area, this can easily lead to headaches. The muscle tension can even trigger migraine headaches.
High Blood Pressue
The stress hormone, cortisol, causes a slight increased in our blood pressure. This is why high stress often leads to high blood pressure.

What actually is stress?
Stress is a real or perceived threat that causes a physical or emotional change in the body. The feeling of stress in the body comes from chemical signals that are released as a reaction to the thing stressing us out - the stressor!
