The Fidget Switch ships immediately and takes 10 seconds to snap together, unless I’m on a rare vacation. . If you need a custom solution, such as a data tracker that measures switch event duration or time stamped to a CSV file , check this out. If you need something else designed custom or want to design coaching you can schedule a 45-minute design consult call with me after 5 pm EST to answer any questions you may have or design something specific.
How does the Fidget Switch work?
Like other holistic fidget devices the gentle vibration helps train your body to relax instead of tense up or clenching down. It can be used in classrooms, at home and during night. The vibration feedback is most effective when practiced with breathing techniques throughout the day (longer exxhales). That way when you feel the vibration your subconscious will know how to respond calmly without habitual tension. With regular use and incorporating deep breathing, you can build new healthy subconscious habits of longer exhale breathings. The switch is compact, lightweight (14g), BPA-free, moisture-resistant, It uses one or two powerful llong-life common coin cell batteries.
You can:
Attach to anything - use Dental glue to adhere to anything
Keep it close to practice - clip it to your shirt or keep in your pocket or wear as a necklace.
