Slime has become a popular item in the recent years, with its squishy texture and ability to create satisfying bubbles. But did you know that Slime can actually have some serious benefits for your mental health?

 

Psychological studies have shown that the sensory experience of playing with Slime can temporarily distract you from negative emotions and stress. When you feel stressed or anxious, your body releases a hormone called adrenaline, which triggers a stress response in your body and mind. However, studies have shown that sensory experiences like playing with Slime can reduce these stress responses and help to alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety. This is why many therapists use Slime to help alleviate feelings of anxiety and tension in their patients – both kids and adults.

 

In addition, playing with Slime can also help improve focus, reduce Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like nail-biting, and promote fine motor skill development. When you play with Slime, you need to focus on manipulating it, such as stretching, squishing, or kneading it. This process of focused attention can help to improve your ability to concentrate, which can in turn improve your learning and work efficiency. Playing with Slime can help to redirect your attention and reduce the occurrence of these behaviors.

 

Lastly, playing with Slime can help to promote the development of fine motor skills. When you play with Slime, you use your fingers and hands to manipulate it, which can help to improve the coordination and control of your hand muscles. In fact, many physical therapists use similar techniques to help rehabilitate patients with hand injuries or conditions.
