How My Weighted Collar Helps Me Stay Focused and Calm
How a Weighted Collar Boosts My Focus and Efficiency
Feeling overwhelmed and losing focus? You’re not alone
I’ve been there too—juggling countless tasks, racing through the day, feeling time pressure mount. Before you know it, your focus is gone and your efficiency takes a dive. In those moments, slowing down is the best thing you can do. That’s exactly what I do with my weighted collar from Blusss.
Discovering sensory-friendly support for adults
I already knew Blusss as a brand offering sensory-friendly clothing for kids. But recently, they’ve added beautifully designed calming tools for adults too—like the weighted collar. That’s where my story begins.
What Is a Weighted Collar and How Does It Work?
Deep Pressure Stimulation: The science behind the calm
This collar provides gentle, even pressure on the shoulders and neck. It works through Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), which helps regulate the nervous system. I’ve used a weighted blanket for years at night, so I was curious to see what this collar could do during the day.
My first try: love at first feel
At an event for parents of highly sensitive children (organized by Bieke Geenen—more on that in a future blog), I tried the Blusss collar. The moment it rested on my shoulders, I felt grounded and calm. I knew right away—I needed this.
When I Use My Weighted Collar
For work, rest and everyday life
I’m highly sensitive myself. I coach sensitive children and their parents, run a yoga studio, and balance family life as a wife, mother and grandmother. It’s a lot—and I need to stay centred to support others. My collar is my go-to tool for overstimulation, tension, or emotional overload.
Small moments, big difference
After a tough session, a long day, or an intense meeting, I take a break with my collar and a cup of coffee. On long car rides, I wear it to stay relaxed. It’s a small ritual that brings me instant relief.
The Benefits of the Weighted Collar
Security and calm in daily life
The collar’s gentle pressure brings:
-
A deep sense of comfort and safety
-
A drop in stress hormones like cortisol
-
Better focus and mental clarity
-
Relief from shoulder and neck tension
Perfect for work, study or travel
Whether I’m at my desk, teaching yoga, or travelling by car or train—it helps me stay focused and calm without overstimulation.
